'U" SPENDS S1,5OO,OOO
TO AID AGRICULTURE.

The University of Minnesota spent
ST. GOT on various educational and
research projects in agriculture during
the fiscal year that closed last July /,
it was shown today by summary CT
budget statistics covering that depart
ment made public by President L. D.
Coffman.
The largest item, $415,997, went TO
the agricultural experiment station;
1898, 573 went into agricultural extern
sion projects; $230,335 was used to
support the College of Agriculture,
Forestry and Home Economics; short
courses took $37,9O6, the Central
School of Agriculture, ST. Paul, $104,-
LOG, and the North Central School of
Grand Rapids, $4,000. Items of $103,-
900 for the Northwest School and
Station at Crookston, and OF $4,000
for the West Central School at Morris
are partly school and partly expert
ment station. They complete the total,
together with $25,500 for experimental
work at Grand Rapids, $4,000 for ex-
perimentS at Duluth, $l5,900 at Wa
SEGA, $4,000 for the experimental fruit
farm at Zumbra Heights and $4,000
for the state creamery at Albert Lea.
In contrast with the opinion of some
that the university does less than it
should for agriculture, the figures show
that agricultural activities cost ap-
proximately twice as much last year as
did the operation of the College OF
Science, Literature, and Arts, largest
of the teaching and research units in
the University of Minnesota and more
than twice as much as the combined
costs of the Medical School and Uni
VerSity Hospital, permanent improve
ment costs excluded.
Sources of funds spent for the diff
ferent agricultural activities were given
as follows: From the state, General
Support, $853, 672; Special Appropria-
tons, agricultural extension, $50, 900;
county agents, $85, IT'S; low lime soils
investigation, $1,000; peat soils investl-
CATION, $4,000; sandy land expert
ments, $1,000; soil survey and field ex-
perimentS, $4,000; Grand Rapids main
tenance (SchooD $4,000; Duluth sta
ton maintenance, $500; Grand Ra-
pidS (alterations) $1,000; Albert Lea,
$4,000 (total of special appropriations
$193,275); federal funds, 1926, 595; mis-
cellaneous sales and fees, $142,065.
AS divided among the various de-
partmentS centering at University
Farm, typical costs were as follows:
Biochemistry $54,717; farm manage
ment and agricultural economics, $685.
384; agricultural engineering, $49,780;
agronomy and plant genetics, $37 1880;
animal husbandry, $82,950; dairy hus-
bandry, $59,822; veterinary medicine,
$39,553; poultry husbandry, $14,46O;
entomology, $39,501; forestry, $39,o71;
home economics, $65, 1924; horticulture,
$45,2S6; plant pathology, $44,496; and
soils $54,770.
Students at University Farm also
take many courses supported by col
legeS on the main campus and partici-
pate in the benefits of most of the
university expenditures, such as
for physical education, health and
hospitals, general administration, and
the like.

Road Building Halt Expensive

Cameron county, by delaying completion Of her
ss 100000 road paving program, Is losing three or
four. and possibly five miles Of paved highway.
The exact amount OF loss which is being incurred
by the county cannot be stated, but it has been va
riousiy estimated at from $4,000 to 100000. And DO
not be deceived, this is a real loss-as much SO IS Il
that sum Of money were thrown into the Rio Grande.
This represents the cost OF reassembling a compe-
tetn engineering staff when the program Is resumed
and the higher prices which viii be paid 70 ~contrac-
tors for work when Il becomes necessary Tor them 70
return their road building machines TO this county.
County Engineer Washington had assembled about
as efficient a set Of vorkmen as ever surveyed and
drafted plans for a highway. They had been on the
Job long enough 70 become entirely familiar with the
problems TO be confronted In this county.
Many Of these men already have gone to other
Jobs as there no longer was work for them in this
county. Others will be leaving in the near future. In
passing it might be well 70 mention that the men
leaving here are securing positions usually al higher
salaries than they were receiving from Cameron
county.
II will cost real money to reasSemble a crew OF
men as capable as that which IS now rapidly disinte-
grating. Plans prepared by a new crew will cost more
fer the new men viii lack the valuable experience
gained by the men now being allowed TO go 10 other
counties.
Contractors, as rapidly as they complete contracts
In this county. remove their road building equip
ment to other counties. Road machinery is heavy and
expensive 10 move. When Il is brought back to Cam
eron county the freight will have to be paid and 1t
will be included in the price OF the contracts. II the
program could be completed now this money could be
saved.
These losses are real and represent cash which will
come out OF the 100000 worth OF bonds yet to be
issued.
There Is still another loss which the county is suf-
fering by reason Of delay in completing the program.
This IS lost use Of the highways. which should con-
meet the farms and towns Of the county as soon as
possible. II paved roads are valuable assets then the
sooner they are in use the sooner citizens Of the
county begin 20 reap the benefits.
Then there Is the matter OF increased valuations.
Building OF the roads VIII increase property values
along their routes and throughout the county.
Surely there is some common grounds on which
the commissioners can agree in order % continue the
program 10 its completion.
Officials Of the Harlingen water district have
agreed 10 convert the form OF that organization II a
road TO Rangervile is financed on a countrywide
basis. Conversion Of the Harlingen district would in
crease the bonding capacity Of the county and permit
issuance OF additional bonds.
Then, IL appears, the key 70 the situation Is an
agreement by the county commissioners on some
means OF financing the Rangervile road.

farmer BY assuring him there is that much money IN
the world.

exchange surplus wheat. sweet corn, c~sbbages, onions,
tomatoes. cucumbers and other vegetables Except
spinach and calirower).
4-This is how the plan works: When a farmer is
in a Jam with his crops and needs relief he proceeds
to the nearest Sterilization corporation. Sterilization
corporations viii be stationed about the country at
convenient points and viii be distinguished BY
scueaky shoes.
5-Upon visiting the sterilization tent the farmer
will be told to 60 home and write a letter. He viii

little more involved than those found in income tax
blanks.
AT this point the farmer calls in his lawyer and
has the thing interpreted.
5-He sends the blank back to the stabilizing board,
which promptly returns it TO him with a singing re-
buke for not printing his name instead Of writing II
and Tor answering the question, How long since you
have had varicose veins?" on the wrong line.
e-The board sets a date for a hearing.
1.-THE farmer reports for the hearing after a
drive Of 656 miles and discovers that it has been adj
journed as two Of the board members had 10 attend
a fly-casting tournament.
12-The curtain is lowered one year TO denote a
lapse Of time.
13-The farmer sees 2 few political bosses and gets
an audience the following November. He states his
case and is turned over for cross-examination. He
became confused answering questions such as, Where
were YOU on the evening Of June 3. 1922" and de-
cides to plead guilty.
l4-He pleads that he was in a daze when he asked
farm relief and didn't know what he was doing.
15-The board. taking into consideration his age
and the fact it is his first offense. suspends Judgment
and lets him 90 home on a promise he will never
bother it again.

According to an exchange a kinds OF edibles
grown in Wilson county were served at a chamber of
commerce dinner at Floresvile. A year ago the first
wilson county product dinner was served with 80
kinds OF food grown within the borders Of that county.
This year the producers increase the number Of all
kinds TO AZ and served what IS believed TO be the
most widely diversified meal ever given in South
Texas"
Furthermore. the local correspondent let it be
known that figuring two kinds Of chicken and also
the fact that Wilson cotton seed oil was used for
cooking, would run the total list up to 40. but the Will
