Every section of the conutry, in- nding several Missouri Valley cnools, are represented on this list nd several important intersectiona ttmes will be played.

At a convocation held Thursday morning the men stud-ants at the College of Agriculture made prepara tions for the organization of a branch of the University Y.M.C.A. Charles Musselman, state student secretary of the Y.M.C.A., was the speaker. A committee on nomina tions of officers for the coming year was appointed by Carl Rosenquist, the temporary chairman. Mr. Musselman, who was intro duced by Paul McCaffree, secretary of the University Y.M.C.A., told of the great opportunity of the students in western states to produce its lead ers. Nearly all of these leaders are born and raised on farms. ' "The farm problems of the pres ent time are vastly different than they were a number of years ago. It is the duty of the graduates of ag ricultural colleges to solve these problems, and in this way became the leaders of their communities. The two great farm problems, according to Mr. Musselman, are in getting leadership and co-operation for the farmers of the country.
