lished market report for farmers, aid |
ing them to find the best markets fer |
the produce. The system In this state |
according to the U. S. department Of agri- |
culture is the best in the country.
Since the college was founded 5000
young men and women have received ed
ucation in the college and so per cent. OF
them have taken straight agricultural
courses.
The Connecticut Agricultural colleS
has no desire to be a university and at
least IS per cent. of instruction given at
the college is in courses not available in
ether colleges and universities. Why
should city boys DESTROYS of becoming
farmers be barred from the agricultural
college?
Food is an absolute necessity and the
need of instruction in raising, food is
shown in the example Of China where 80
per cent. Of the people are engaged in
agriculture and yet they are starving.
They use old methods. In this country
with modern methods only 80 per cent
are engaged in agriculture. A more ad-
vanced study of agriculture in this state
would tend to relieve congestion on the
railroads.. Connecticut should supply
| most of its own food needs.
Much talk has been made about the
| journalism course at the college. This
a
fessor at the college giving his time, and
the only costs that could be charged
| against the account in the past two
years would amount to 40 cents. be-
| iieye, he said, that education in teurna-
lism would have been of use to the pap.
/ ers printing stories about the college
/ and accounts would have been. more ar.
curate. The use of English and know
ledge of writing would be Of use to
! farmers.
