TWO THINGS YOU SHOULD
VOTE FOR

If the farmers of Montana were
able to increase their land acreage
every year, but were forbidden by
law to get more machinery, work,
stock, or help, to work the land and
produce crops, they would be in al
most exactly the same shape that the
Agricultural College now is.
More and more students are want
ing to take advantage of the educa-
ton offered. "The fertile soil wait
ing to receive the seeds Of education
is increasing rapidly in acreage, but
the work stock, help and machinery
are limited by law. More buildings,
equipment and teachers are needed
if this school is to serve the farmers
of the state as it should.
The two initiative measures to be
submitted to the voters this fall will
remedy this condition, and should re-
ceive the votes of every farmer who
realizes the value Of more and better
education.
