By Dean E. A. Burnett
The settlement of the location of
the University makes it possible for
the Agricultural College to proceed
-without delay in the erection of sev
eral necessary buildings. According
to the terms of the bill passed by the
last legislature, one-third of the ap
propriation, or about $700,000, should
be available within the next four years
for the erection of agricultural build
ings and for the better equipment of
the College.
The general plans for the dairy
building have been completed. This
building will be located east of the
Experiment Station Hall and south of
the Judging Pavilion, facing west, thus
hoininsr to complete the east quad
rangle of the campus. J
Plans are already in progress j
altho not fully matured for a build
ine to house Agricultural Kigineering.
This building will be approximately ,
200 feet square, the main portion ve
ins two stories high, the rear portion,
containing shops and laboratories for
heavy machinery, being only one story
in height. A basement will be provid
ed for the entire building, in which
many of the activities of the depart
ment can be housed. According to the
present plan , for the campus, this
building will be located at the north
nd of the east quadrangle, on the east
side of the present athletic field. The
building will face the south. While it
has not yet been fully determined that
this is to be the second building un
dertaken at the Farm, the plans for

FOGG'S NEW SYSTEM
MAKESFLAT FAILURE
Freshman Themes Get Fogg's Goat-
Eastern University Denounces
the Theory
Communications have just been re
cti ved from a well-known eastern uni-v-
. :r. r..e ertVet that tlr. late
"goat scheme" will not work. Several
days ago an article appeared in the
Daily Nebraskan telling of a wonder
ful way to dipoe of freshman themes
by means of goats owned and con
trolled by all the great universities
for that purpose. It was the theory
that the greedy animals would willing
ly make short work of the roaster
pieces written by the fros-h, and in this
way many trips with the paper basket
would be made useless by the janitor
But alas! It can t "be did."
It seems that the scheme received
world-wide notice, and was actually
tried by some of the foremost institu
tionsbut with great failure. The
communications said that the goats
all died after the first two or three
feedings. Several goat doctors were
immediately called in order that this
strange state of affairs could be ex
plained, and the verdict of these
learned gentlemen was that even the
iron-case stomach cf the strongest
billy goat could not digest feme of
the rare writings of the freshmen.
What a dinner these Texas regents
i thould have at their meetings! Among

SERVICE
GREAT STRIDES BEING MADE BY
THIS DEPARTMENT
MANY FARMERS' INSTITUTES
Also Boys' and Girls' Clubs Farm
Demonstration Work Women's
Clubs County Fair Exhibits
Development Funds
One department at the University
Farm which the average 6tudent is
likely to overlook and whose impor
tance is measured by its extensive op
erations Is the Agricultural Extension
Service. The volume of its work has
so increased within the last three
years that it has been built up from
one worker with a stenographer work
ing on half time and institute work
ers employed on part time to twenty
six regular workers employed on full
time and eighteen giving part time to
the work.
As its term implies, the object of
the department is to serve the people
cf the state in agriculture so far as
poss'ble by bringing the best work and
thought of the experiment station and
t-cllege of agriculture not only to those
who have not had the opportunity to
attend the school or college of agricul
ture but to the graduates of these in
stitutions who are naxious to develop
their home communities and keep
abreast of agricultural progress.
Farmers' Institutes and Short Courses
One of the prominent features of the
extens-ion work is the agr'cultural in
struction offered through the farmers'
institutes and the agricultural short
courses. At farmers mstitues, wnicn
last but one or two days, speakers of
special training are senL At the agri
cultural and domestic science short
courses a larger number of speakers
are sent, and the work resembles more
nearly the actual work of the class
room. At each of these kinds of meet
ings during the present season, the
