Declares Agricultural College
Campus Not "State Farm
99
The following is from a member of
the agricultural college faculty: '
We have long known that "It is a
wise father who knows his own son."
In modern times it is a wise student
who knows his own alma mater.
Eight years ago the legislature es
tablished the college of agriculture.
The colloge of agriculture together
with several other . colleges consti
tutes the University of Nebraska. A
student in the college of agriculture
is a student in the University of Ne
braska. The college of medicine is located
upon a campus in Omaha, various oth
er colleges are located upon a campus,
at present with ragged and indefinite
boundaries, located close to the throb
bing heart of the metropolitan dis
trict, while the college of agriculture
is located upon a campus whose south
west corner is at Thirty-third and Hol
drege streets.
The college of agriculture has sev
eral functions:
1. Investigation of agricultural
problems this is the function of the
agricultural experiment station.
2. Instruction of students who are
matriculated in the University of Ne
braska and who are "in residence."
These are University students regis
tered in the college of agriculture.
3. Instruction of persons who are
not matriculated in the University of
Nebraska and who are not "in resi
dence." This is the work of the two
agricultural high schools connected
with the University of Nebraska. One
of these "schools" is located at Curtis,
while the other is located at Lincoln.
A campus is defined as "the grounds
of a college or school, or the court en-

closed by the buildings." The college
of agriculture buildings are located
upon a piece of ground which is evi
dent rV a "campuB" and most certainly
is not a "farm." In fact the college
of agriculture is not engaged in farm
ing in any sense ot the word, lhe
land outside of ' the campus is em
ployed in the experimental or research
work of the experiment station and in
cidentally for the support of crops
and animals employed for instruction
al work in college classes and in the
agricultural high school or school of
agriculture.
Tbt standing and importance of a
college of agriculture does not result
from any special propaganda, but is
the evident outgrowth of the fact that
agriculture is -our chief industry. The
college of agriculture should be, then,
the spokesman and the leader of this
industry; it must produce leaders and
will be called to answer, as they arise
or before they arise, the problems of
the farmer. This means that the great
bulk of the scientific work of the next
half-century is going to be done in the
agricultural experiment stations.
If "The Daily Nebraskan" is to give
the "farm" special attention (as indi
cated in its recent circular letter to
the "Farm Faculty!') it will be a com
petitor of the Nebraska Farmer, Twen
tieth Century Farmer and other farm
papers. If, however, it decides to give
adequate attention to the news of the
college of agriculture the faculty of
the college of agriculture will no doubt
be delighted to enter their subscrip
tions with the understanding that the
paper be forwarded to us at the col
lege of agriculture and not sent . to
some "Farm."
We may readily pardon a street car
conductor who say "state farm" but
such a designation of the college of
cgriculture by a University man be
trays unpardonable ignorance of his
elma mater and Its great work.

SOUTH MAY BE MARKET
FOR BREEDING 8TOCK
Nebraska 'stockmen are taking much
more than passing interest in the re
ports of the far-reaching campaign
which is being planned to stimulate
the live stock industry ot the South.
Leaders in the movement have al
ready visited live stock producing cen
ters in this state and others have been
in correspondence with some of Ne
braska's most prominent stockmen.
According to these men. everything
will be done to secure for Nebraska
its just. share of this growing trade. I
They have been informed that because
of this increasing demand a few north
ern breeders are shipping to southern
buyers animals that are poor repre
sentatives of their breeds. They are
determined, that nothing will be left
undone to prevent discredit from be
ing brought upon the herd and flock
masters of this state.
Louisiana breeders have suffered
much loss, It is reported, by receiving
stunted and disqualified pigs in their
northern shipments.
C. L. Willoughby of the University
of Florida is advising Florida farmers
to require, when buying breeding
Etock, a guarantee that animals must
satisfy the buyer or they may be re
turned and money refunded. He Is
convinced that while the great ma
jority of northern breeders are ready
to send good animals to the South
