Farm, Revealed.
Lincoln, Aug. 12. One-third of
the student body at the college of
agriculture of the University of Ne
braska returns to the farm after
graduation, according to college re
cords which have been compiled by
Prof. T. H. Goodding of the agron
omy department.
"The number of graduates re
turning to the farm is a high
percentage when the fact is tak
en Into consideration that there
is room for only half of the
farm children to return to the
farm in case they chose to do
so," the professor stated.
Teaching Lures.
Prof. Goodding found that the
teaching profession ranks next to
farming as the most attractive voca
tion. Of the graduates thus far in
the college 12 per cent have entered
the commercial field; 8 per cent have
started in county agent or extension
specialist work and 6 per cent have
entered into inspection work for the
various state departments of agri
culture.
Banking institutions annually em
ploy about 4 per cent of the agricul
tural graduates, the report shows.
Manufacturing claims about 3 per
cent and the insurance field takes
about 2 per cent.

out a "short" as soon as you
have any reason to suspect
one. It pays in lower battery

There are other common
