acclaimed one of the most success

of the boosters from every part of the
state will result in much valuable

That we offer our heartiest CON
gratulations to the Pullman chamber
of commerce for having raised funds
for the establishment of a radio
broadcasting station at the State Col

able to serve every rural community
in the state.
THAT we endorse the splendid
work OF the agricultural extension
service of the State College, which is
doing so much to improve the eco
nomic and social conditions of the
farmer. Such service is especially
needed now during this period OF
economic depression, when agriCul-
ture is suffering so severely. We be-
lieve that the agricultural extension
service will be the greatest single
factor in the entire state in putting
agriculture back upon its feet and
in the development of a permanent
and successful rural life. We urge
all local commercial bodies to CO.
operate with the county commission
ers and the farmers Of their resSee-
tive districts in carrying on this
work.
I'VE endorse the splendid work
that Is being done by the State Col
lege Of Washington and express our
deepest appreciation to Dr.. Holland,
its president, and members of his
faculty. for the splendid contribu-
tions to our program and for the in
struction and entertainment provided
