HOLLAND SUBJECT OF
VAN ROYENS TALK
Geography Instructor Tells
Many Unique Customs
Of That Nation.
"Agriculture in Holland" was
the subject of an illustrated lec
ture given to the Ag club at the
meeting Tuesday night, Jan. 31, by
Dr. Van Royen of the geography
department. Mr. Van Royen was
concerned with dispelling the com
monly held idea that the Dutch
are nothing else but farmers, and
that Holland as a country is pri
marily engaged in agriculture. He
stated that the percent of the
population engaged in farming is
no greater than the number that
is occupied with that industry in
our country. The country's popu
lation is concerned a great deal
with industry and commerce as
well, activities which include tex
tile manufacturing and coal mines.
Because the population exceeds
eight million in this comparatively
small country, agriculture is nec
essarily intensive. Specialization
is applied to the industry to such
a degree that is not found outside
of Holland. Dr. Van Royen illus
trated this fa t by citing the dairy
industry which would be com
pletely dissolved if the farmers de
pended on the pastures alone to
provide sufficient feed for the cat
tle. Imported feed stuffs supple
ment the quantity obtained from
the small pastures.
"The most spectacular type of
intensive horticulture is displayed
in the raising of flower bulbs, but
it is not the most important, the
culture of small fruits and vege
tables taking first place. Hot
houses are used extensively in the
raising of these products," he de
clared. Mills Are Displaced.
Electric and steam pumps have
practically supplemented the wind
mills in pumping water in order to
raise and lower the water taoie
Dr. Van Royen explained that this
is accomplished by raising or low
ering the level of the water in the
ditches and that sucii processes
are necessary for the culture of
different kinds of crops.
"Most of the agricultural crops
are exported out of this country
which is ideally situated for sucn
trade as it is surrounded by
densely populated industrial dis
tricts in France, Belgium, Ger
many and England," Van Royen
noted. The cooperation which is
found among Dutch farmers was
also emphasized by the lecturer.
Each farmer belongs to a coopera
tion and he must sell to that as
sociation or he is immediately de
prived membership.
Dutch Auction Unique.
"A central Doint is located in a
district for the selling of vege
tables, for instance, and headquar
ters are situated in a large build
in with the canal passing: directly
through it. An unique system of

BILLS CONCERNING
UNIVERSITY BEFORt
STATE LEGISLATURE
Representative Cone Files
Two Proposals in
House.
By Clarke C. Bradley.
Among the 1,070 bills filed for
introduction in both houses of the
state legislature are six measures
directly concerning the University
of Nebraska. In line with the gen
eral legislative program, these bills
aim at reduction of the cost of
maintaining the institution.
Representative Trenmore Cone
of Valley is chiefly concerned with
university affairs in the house,
having introduced two bills re
garding it. In H. R. 517 he pro
poses to abolish the schools of
architecture and fine arts and to
limit the chancellor's salary to
$6,000, the deans' to $4,000, pro
fessors' to $3,000 and to effect a
20 percent reduction in all others.
This bill carries an emergency
clause.
Cone Introduces Bill.
The other bill introduced by
Cone, H. R. 424, requires the state
auditor to examine accounts of
funds pertaining to student activi
ties, athletic associations, field
houses and stadiums connected
with the University of Nebraska
and state normal schools. Repre
