North Platte, April, 24, 1911.
Whereas, the last legislature has
passed an act providing fer the loca
tion of an agricultural school In wHtm
Nebraska. Said school to be located by
the board of Public Lands and Building,
ef the state of Nebraska, and the
school te be operated by the Beard ef
Regents of the" State University of
Nebraska.
" Whereas, the city ef Nerth .Platte,
Nebraska, is located In the center of
the great western' part of the state, and
is more easily accessible tethe western
part of Nebraska than any other point
in Sold portion of the state, having
railroad facilities" west, east and north
west. Whereas, a fnw jrars ago by Legis
lative Act tho Stnto Experimental
farm, under the jurisdiction of the
Board of Regents of tho Stato Univer
sity, was established near tho city ef
North Platte, Nebraska, and the city
of North Platte by subscription raised
the money and paid the larger part of
the purchase price of 15)20 acres of land
within three miles of the city of Nerth
Platte, and donated tho same to the
8ate. And since the establishment of
aid experimental farm the Regents of
the University have maintained a suc
cessful oxperlmontal farm at this place,
and has constructed a large number of
buildings thereon, and that said build
ings Jiave beon constructed on a plan
bv said Reirents. bavins? in mind the
establishment in the future of an agri
cultural school at said farm. Said farm
Is now in successful operation, and by
means of experiments conducted there
on, hus vastly benefited the agricultural
interests in western Nebraska. Said
farm is so situated that exper
iments can be made thereon both i Ir
rigation and dry farming, and by reason
ofsnid fact said experimental farm will
be a valuable adjunct,and of absolute ne
cessity to the successful operation and
maintenance of an agricultural school
Whereas, the State of Nebraska is an
agricultural state, and agricultural ed
ucation is or the lirst importance to Us
"people, for tho purpoio of developing
husbandry, and the proper, methods of
tho tilling of the soil, and It is necessary
that the Experimental Farm and Agri
cultural School work In harmony with
mutual co-operation, and
Whereas, It is apparent by the amount
of appropriations required and made in
tho last legiBlnture, that for the purpose
of proporly developing said resources
and tho agricultural education, it is
necessary to concentrate the educational
efforts as much as possible, and to make
the moneys appropriated go as far as
possiblo, and prevent waste of public
fund), and
Whereas, an agricultural school could
be built and maintained on the experi
mental farm at North Platte, Nebraska,
in conjunction with said farm under
one management, ata much less expense
than could soaprate institutions be
maintained in separata places, and
Whereas, said agricultural school
ought to be located at a point in the
westcrn'portlon of the state where it
would be accessible to the greater num
ber of the people, and
Whereus, the location of the said
school at tho town of Hold re go, if It
were located there would benefit a small
portion of the state. That Holdrege is
located in the south central part of the
state of Nebraska, and the people In
said vicinity can mure easily obtain ac
cess to the agricultural school in Lin
coln at the State. University, than can
four-fifths of the western part of the
state got to tho tow a of Holdrego to
attend an agricultural school at that
place, lhat if tmid school were located
at tho town of Holdrege, more than
four-fifths of western Nebraska could
more easily, and with less expense go
te the city of Lincoln and attend, its
agricultural school at that place, then
to go to the town of Holdrege.
Wiioreas, the bill provides for, the
building of sheds, pens, barns and en
closures, and the purchase of equip
ment and farming implements and live
stock, for the maintenance of the ex
parimental work upon the farm in con
nection with said school, and there is
now erected upon tho experimental
fnrm in this city livestock barns, sheds,
pens and necessary outbuildings for
the experimental work, and said form
ulso is completely equipped with farm
ing implements, and if said school were
located on said farm the state would be
saved the expense of duplicating said
farming equipment, buildings, and live
stock, their being already on said farm
a largo amount of live stock in the
shapo of cattle, horses and hogs, both
for experimental and farm work.
Whereas, tho Government of the
United States is new maintaining on
tho state Experimental farm at North
Platte an experimental station in ron
section with the state experimental
iarm, ana it said scnooi were located
at Nerth Platte it weald have the bene
fit ef the government experimental
werk.
