"The Nebraskan who isn't fairly

industry in our state, agriculture,
cannot be said to have a well round

Fun Feed, one of the special features
of Organized Agriculture which was
held at the College of Agriculture

Interest in the Countryman has
perhaps climbed higher during the
past year than at any period in the
history of the magazine. It is strict
ly a student paper, expressing stu
dent sentiments, edited by students
an A manfiired bv students. A new
feature started during the past year
which has proved very successful was
the raising of the subscription rate
to one dollar and twenty-five cents
orovidine the student took an extra
copy and had it sent to his parents

The first article in the January
issue is a review of the magazine,
