THE DAILY NEBRASKAN problem's which demand Investigation. The Agrlenltmal Kxperlment Sta tions were established by an act of congress in 1SS7, to be located In con nection with the Agricultural Colleges in the various states. The first ap propriation by congress was for $15, 000 annually to each state. This was increased in 1907 by the passage of the Adams act: so that under these two acts the station now receives $30, 000 annually from the federal govern ment. The colleges house the station ac tivities, furnish land for the use of field Investigation, and generally make direct appropriation for the promotion of experimental work. The purpose of the experiment sta tion as expressed In the original act Is to conduct original researches or verify experiments on the physiology or plants and animals; the diseases to which they are severally subject, with the remedies for the same; the chem ical com posit on of useful plrnts at their different stages of growth; the comparative advantages of rotative cropping as pursued under a varying series of crops; the capacity of new plants or trees for acclimation; the analysis of soils and water; the chem ical composition of manures, natural or artificial, with experiments designed to test their comparative effects on crops of different kinds; the adapta tion and value of grasses and forage plants; the composition and digesti bility of the different kinds of food for domestic animals; the scientific and economic questions involved in the production of butter and cheese; and such other researches or experiments bearing directly on the agricultural in dustry of the United States as may in each case be deemed advisable, having due regard to the varying conditions and needs of the respective states or territories." commercial department.

A LETTER TO FATHER STILL MORE STUDENTS TAKING AGRICULTURE Facts and Figures Presented by the Department School and College Both Considered OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OUT ONCE EVERY MONTH Magazines Sent to All Schooli Farmers Also May neceive Copies Upon Request "Agriculture." the official publica tion of the College of Agriculture, had its organization in the School of Agri culture in 1902 when Professor Davi son was principal of the school, and in 1910 it was taken over by the Agri cultural Club of the University. While it is still a paper of the Sc hool of Agri culture, its range has been broadened somewhat and now reaches the stu dents and graduates of both the School and College of Agriculture, and in addition to this it is fent to all three and four-year high schools of the state. The object of this publication is to act as a medium for carrying news of the School and College to the alumni and. further, to bring out discussions and treatises of economical and scien tific problems of interest to the farm ers of Nebraska. While some of these articles are written by the professors, most of them are handled by the stu dents, and as a magazir.e of value and interest to all farmers and students of agriculture it has been highly commended.

I believe you were right in leaving the law college- for the farm. I was talk ing to one of the editors of the Rag j the other day. He had been reading over some of the old papers and told me all about you. It must have been awful hard to re main a bacheior so long, father, when you had so many fair co-ed admirers. I remember jou telling mother how you used to tell one of your irresista ble jokes whenever a fair maiden got you on her lap and was about to ! strangle you with a soul kiss. Then while she was having convulsions of ' laughter you would get your hat and i run out the door. I hope your mine pays dividends soon, as I will need more money next semester for books. With love, your son AMOS. What is certified milk? Ans.: Miik inspected by a doctor and used in a hospital.

Iowa State College Receives Goods From Germany During the past two weeks the col lege has Lad two large shipments through Holland, covering seventy boxes of glassw are and chemicals from Germany, costing about $3,000. The shipments were to have left Germany the first of August and were to have been delivered here on the fifteenth of that month, but it is known that they were on the wharf at Hamburg the first of September. As the price of all this materia was fixed by bid by the importer last April, before glassware and chemicals made their "war jump." the college is exceedingly fortunate in having these shipments come to them in such splendid shape, even though they have been delayed so long, since tbey could not be dupli cated without an addition of half the price paid.
