Agricultural College : We learn from Prof. Culbertson that a larger number of students are attending the Agricultural College than ever. Nearly all students, tak ing an agricultural course are accommo. dated with work at the farm. Eighty Ave acres of wheat and other small grain have been sown. There will bo about as many ceres of corn planted. The remainder of the farm will boused for various purposes. We rogret to learn that about ninctcuths of a fifteen acre cotton wood grove was destroyed last year by insects. This grove was soveral years old and was in a thrifty condition before the advent of this par ticular insect. It is thought that this des tructive pest lias disappeared and a con sidablo number of young cotton wood tro' ire being planted to rpplace the loss. The young men attending the Agricultu ral College seem to bo bright and intelli gent, and about as agreeable and sociable an assemblage of students as one needs to meet.
