that the 20 wheat"
Under the presidency of Drs. Worst |
and Ladd the North Dakota Agricui-
tural college has been made real
public service institution, known wher-
ever modern agriculture is practiced.
The Agricultural college has taken the
peoples part as against that of the
big interests. The education given the
young people has been a preparation
for courses In agriculture, engineering,
teaching, homeinaking and the scien-
ces, the fundamental industries of to-
day. The investigation and regulatory
work of the college has been on the
many problems of the farm and the
people Of the state. 1t has also taken
an economic turn as note the recent
order Of Barnes, making price sched-
ule Of wheat on the basis of milling
value. The foundation work for this
was done under the direction of DIR.
Ladd in the little mill at the North
Dakota Agricultural college. In 1916
the sensational exposures of d Feed
wheat were made. The recent ruling
of Mr.. Barnes applies these findings
of the 1916 crop to the marketing of
the whole United States wheat crop.
Adulteration has been largely driven
out of the state, at least foods, paints,
drugs, feeds and a number of other
things have to be .labeled as to their
contents, which leaves small room for
adulteratiOll, and number of harmful
ingredients THAT were often put into
foods have been absolutely barred
from the state.
