Uv Minneapolis, No, 21-1924 ^ya&f ACTIVITIES OF THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA Why All the School* and Sub-Stations The Functioning and Growth of the Institution. Sketching the activities of the uni versity's department of agriculture and asserting there was no measure or yard-stick by which the influence of the department could be specifically determined. Dean Walter C. Coffey told a large company of editors, gath ered at University Farm for their an nual short course, that the university owned in the name of the department of agriculture nearly 5,000 acres of land which with its buildings, equip ment, utilities and livestock has an estimated value of more than $4,000,000. These holdings are divided, said the dean, between University Farm, and schools or sub-stations at Crookston, Grand Rapids, Morris, Cloquet, Duluth, Waseca and Zumbra Heights. The department also has a forest nursery and buildings in Itasca State park, where a part of its instruction in for estry is given. The holdings at the Cloquet station are the largest, amounting to 2,662 acres. Why all of these schools and sub^ stations? Dean Coffey replied that if there were but one center for the de partment of agriculture in a state so Walter Coffey, Dean of tne De partments of Agriculture, University of Minnesota. large and varied as Minnesota is agri culturally, it would be impossible to solve certain important problems. "The solution of a problem which pertains to the Red River valley is most con vincing if a demonstration of the so lution is carried on in that valley," said the dean. "If carried on else where it would largely be overlooked and soon forgotten." Dean Coffey said, that 21 years ago the total enrollment in the Minnesota college* of agriculture consisted of 19 men and 2 women last year the enrollment was 947. Twenty-one years ago the enrollment in the school of agriculture was 450 last year the en rollment in the three schoolsUni versity Farm, Crookston and Morris was 1,413. Twenty-one years ago the short course attendance was 147 last year it was 2,309. "With this very rapid growth in numbers of students it has been diffi- cult," said the dean, "to provide ade quate recitation and laboratory space and suitable equipment. Some of our buildings are old and quite out of date. Our dairy hall, built 31 years ago, is an outstanding example. For some purposes it may be a fair building, but not for dairy uses. Unusual prog ress has been made in all branches of dairying the last 25 years. As an educational Institution we are sup posed to be the center of that progress and it is difficult to make good when our buildings and equipment are so less modern than is to be found among the commercial plants of the state. "The work of the department of agriculture comes under the following heads: The college, the schools, the short courses, the extension service and the experiment station. The col lege functions as an institution of higher "learinng. Many of its gradu ates, in fact most of them to date, have entered professions related to agriculture rather than having en gaged directly in farming. They are teaching agriculture and home eco nomics in agricultural colleges, schools and high schools they are em ployed as extension specialists, county agents and research workers in experi ment stations. The courses offered by our three schools of agriculture are covered by three years of six months Salsify or oyster plant can be sown much as parsnips and will furnish a crop late In the fall and on? that will furnish soup material during the Whi- teT.

The University of Minnesota, co-op erating with various county land clear ing associations in northern Minne sota, with .the Soo line, Great Northern and Northern Pacific railways, with manufacturers of explosives and land clearing machinery, and with the state forestry department, has ar ranged for the running of a land clear ing train the"last half of May and for the holding of 10 all-day county-wide land clearing celebrations and demon strations in seven northern Minnesota counties as follows: Brainerd, May 15 Aitkin, May 16 Remer, May 18 Walker, May 20 Tenstrike, May 22 Little Fork, May 24 Duluth (Jackson community), May 25 Cohasset, May 26 Hill City, May 27 Virginia, May 30. The celebrations will mark the for mal opening of the year's land clear ing campaigns in the counties of Crow Wing, Aitkin, Cass, Beltrami, Koochi ching, Itasca and St. Louis. The train will carry large quantities of picrlo acid and dynamite, and a full comple ment of land reclamation machinery Supplementing the work of this land clearing expedition, the university has a similar one operating, on motor trucks and now giving demonstrations of picric acid shooting in Aitkin, Itas ca, Crow Wing, Todd, Wadena, Hub bard and Koochiching counties. The motor expedition started*in southern Aitkin county April 25, and has dates scheduled up to and including June 9. About one-half dozen demonstrations will be given in each county. The schedule for the last half of the sum mer and early fall will provide for demonstrations in northern Beltrami, Clearwater and various other counties. The plan is to keep the motor truck train going until the ground freezes. Because it is more flexible than the railroad train it is designed to reach small communties in outlying districts. So far the demonstrations have been witnessed by from 60 to 150 farmer folks. BREAD AND GARMENT CLUBS Most Effective Results Come From County Competitive Demonstrations. One of the most effective ways of demonstrating the results of the girls' bread and garment clubs is through the county competitive demonstra tions by individual members and by teams. AH counties which have these clubs arrange for county contests dur ing May or June, to which local clubs send individual competitors as well as its winning team in each class, includ ing bread, cake and garment making. If the county has* the garment clubs, an exhibit of garments is included. Exhibits of bread and cake are also often made. The demonstrations and exhibits make a very interesting program and are generally well attended by lead ers, club members and the general public. Mrs. Margaret Baker of the univer sity's agricultural extension division will judge these demonstrations In all counties in the southern district. Miss Genevieve Burgan will have charge of the northeastern and central sections. Miss Schenck, the home economics teacher at the Northwestern School of Agriculture at Crookston, will judge in northwest Minnesota. Fake poultry cullers are said to be swindling farmers in Kansas and Col orado. A few such instances have been reported in Minnesota. A county agent in a Kansas county says tha fakers offer to cull a farmer's flock for one centra bird provided he will sell them the culls at the market price. If the farmer agrees, the swindlers, who seem to know poultry culling practices, make it a point to take the best layers and leave the culls. each. Most of'the work given is in agricultural subjects, but some of it is largely cultural. In summer or va cation periods the students engage in home. project work under the super vision of teachers from the school. "A criticism some timesr THE TOMAHAWK, WHITE EARTH, MINN. made against agricultural education-is that it educates young men and women away from the land.

One of the most warlike of Indian maidens was Hanging Cloud, a Chip pewa girl,, the daughter of Na-nong ga-bee, chief of a branch of that tribe which occupied the territory around Rice lake In northern Wisconsin, some 75 years ago. In her hair Hanging Cloud wore three eagle plumes, signi fying that she had slain that many braves in battle. This exploit she performed when party, including herself and her fa ther, were ambushed by a force of Sloui^'the'tSilppewaa' traditional ene mies. Her father was slain, and Hanging Cloud, feigning death, wait ed until the Sioux came to secure the scalps of the slain Chlppewas, and then, seizing her father's rifle, killed one and, in the pursuit which fol lowed, succeeded in killing two more. She scorned to marry one of her own tribe, for she could not espouse her self to a lesser warrior than she, and 10 she finally married a white man. with whom she lived for many years tear Bice lake.

Heither would be tolerated by specialists in children's diseases. Your Physician will tell you that Baby's medicine must be prepared with even greater care than Baby's food.

Out of the Mouths of Babes. You've heard about the little girl who was given a woolly bear that she would name "Gladly," after the bear in the hymn"Gladly, my cross-eyed bear." Another little girl was asked If she knew who Nero was. "He's the Good Man," she answered, In awed tones. "The Good Man? What makes you think he's the Good Man?" said her teacher. Then, in answer, the little girl, still In awed tones, quoted the hymn, "Nero My God to Thee!" Misused. A teacher in the fourth grade of one of the Indianapolis schools asked the pupils to use the word "totem" in a sentence. Thomas, who was usually a little slow on answering questions, quickly arose and said, "I've got five books, and I tote 'em home everv evening." The last man to starve will be a farmer.
