PICTURESQUE FIGURE

Manhattan, Kan, Feb. 14.-Dr.
William M. Jardine, president Of
Kansas State Agricultural college,
selected today by President Coolidge
to be secretary of agriculture will
bring to the cabinet first hand
knowledge of agriculture and a per-
sonality of rugged western back
ground. Once "cow puncher," once
"Broncho BUSTER" DR.. Jardine has
sympathy with the farmers and
ranchmen and a comprehension Of
their problems based on intimate
experiences. He is said to be the
best authority on dry farming and
the growing of wheat and grain
sorghums.
President Jardine has been an out
spoken advocate of the farmers in
terests. In public speeches, he has
declared that 10 percent of the trou-
bic of the farmers can be remedied
by legislation, that the other 80 per-
cent must be solved by farmers
themselves and their immediate as
sociates, the businessmen of each
community.
