HOMESTEAD
ON HOLDEN
What the Iowa Homestead Said of
Prof. Holden When He Was In
duced to Come to Iowa. Record of
What Was Accomplished by Holden
After Coming to State.
The Homestead had the following to
say, editorially, Sept. 4, 1902 (ten
years ago):
SEW PROFESSOR OF AGRONOMY
AT IOWA AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGE.
Friends of agricultural progress
will be pleased to learn that Prof. P.
G. Holden, of Illinois, has accepted
the professorship of agronomy at the
Iowa State Agricultural College. As
the word "agronomy" has come into
use during the last few years it may
be necessary to give its significance.
It means the theory and practice of
the production of farm crops. As the
"GREATER IOWA CANDIDATE."
PERRY G. HOLDEN.
Candidate for the Republican Nomi
nation for Governor at the State
Wide Primary, June 3rd.
production of crops is intimately as
sociated with a knowledge of the soil,
it necessarily embraces soil physics,
as well as the chemistry and bacter
iology of soils and crops. The recog
nition of a department of agronomy
in the Iowa institution means the
placing of the work on a broader and
better foundation than heretofore, and
the choice of Prof. Holden as chief of
this great division is a most favorable
omen for future progress.
Extensive Practical Experience.
Although a young man, having been
born in the state of Minnesota in 1865,
there are few men in the great cen
tral West who have had as broad and
practical as well as scientific experi
ence in agricultural matters as Prof.
Holden. Indeed, judging by what he
has accomplished in the states of
Michigan and Illinois we believe that
he stands in a class by himself. He
spent his early life on the farm and
by 'his efforts before entering the
Michigan Agricultural College and
after graduation from that institution
won for himself an enviable reputa
tion as a successful operator of farm
affairs.
Made Good.
Although chosen a member of the
faculty of the Michigan Agricultural
College after his graduation he pre
ferred farm life, to which he returned
and there remained until chosen by
Prof. Davenport to accept the chair
of agronomy in the Illinois Agricul
tural College. His work there of
building up the agricultural side of
that institution is too well known to
require repetition. Suffice it to say
that it is generally conceded that the
magnificent $200,000 agricultural
building that has recently been erect
ed there stands as a monument to
Prof. Holden's effort in behalf of Il
linois agriculture.
Wonderful Influence.
During the four years spent in that
institution, from 1896 to 1900, he or
ganized the Corn Growers' Associa
tion, Sugar Beet Growers' Associa
tion, assisted in establishing the Corn
Breeders' Association, organized the
first corn judging school ever held in
this country, originated the Illinois
Club, the object of which is to dis
in a agricultural intelligence
among young men, assisted material
ly in building up the Farmers' Insti
tute of the state, and indeed took a
prominent part in all matters that in
any way contributed to the advance
ment of agriculture.
Large Business Experience.
.-Ti-rrx
In the spring of 1900 he was em
ployed by the Pekin Sugar Beet Com
pany, at a large salary, to superin
tend their field work, and there re
mained until a few months ago when
he was chosen superintendent of the
Funk Brothers' immense corn breed
ing establishment. Much against the
wishes of his present employers and
at a great financial loss to himself, he
now lays aside what is undoubtedly
one of the best positions that has
ever been filled by a college man in
this country to engage in the building prosperity of a
up of Iowa's agriculture. The state state."
of Iowa, therefore, has reason to con
gratulate herself on obtaining the ser
vices of such a man. His intimate
knowledge of soils and farm erops
of all kinds, combined with good judg
ment and a store of energy that few
possess, leads us to believe that every
dollar entrusted by the state to Prof.
Holden, whether to bo devoted to the
teaching of agriculture or the work
of the experiment station, will return
ko the state many hundred fold ia th«
aot far distant future.
•itjn
sp
Powerful Influence.
As an institute worker he will be a
power in the state, so that his influ
ence will be felt not only at the in
stitution itself, but wherever assist
ance is needed in agricultural matters.
His Iowa Record.
Organized the Agronomy Depart
ment, Iowa State College of Agricul
ture.
Organized and taught corn work in
the Ames Short Course.
Organized and managed Short
Courses all over Iowa.
Enlarged and extended the Farm
ers' Institute work. Conducted cam

tendent of Extension Department,
Iowa State College.
Introduced the teaching of agricul-"
ture into the public schools in several

Union. This method of educational
extension is now followed in England,
Scotland and other foreign countries.
Organized and conducted the first
county farm demonstrations now
widely copied.
Prepared manuscript and illustra
tions for five different corn books re
peated American editions have reach
ed nearly one million copies. One
book was translated and published at
the special request of President Diaz
of Mexico, also translated and pub
lished by the governments of Spain
and Russia.
Bulletin No. 77 on seed corn issued
by the Iowa Experiment Station,
based on his investigations has prob
ably had the largest circulation of
any agricultural bulletin ever pub
lished.
Furnished interviews and prepared
manuscript and illustrations for
newspapers, agricultural, educational
and religious publications and maga
zines, such as "Review of Reviews."
"The Outlook," "World's Work,"
"World Today," and many other pub
lications of national circulation has
been quoted and his articles have had
wider circulation than any other agri
cultural writer in the United States.
Lectured at 114 Chautauquas in
Iowa and other states. His were the
first "corn" lectures ever made suf
ficiently interesting and instructive
for the Chautauqua platform.
Concerning his Chautauqua work,
Senator Albert B. Cummins says:
"I have known Prof. P. G.
The average annual value of the
Iowa corn crop during the past eight
years is $155,289,125.
The average annual value of the
corn crop the eight years previous is
$61,888,581. Showing an increase of
150 per cent or $93,400,544.
The average annual value of the
total Iowa farm crops the past eight
years is $341,457,875.
The average annual value of the
total farm crops not including live
stock for the past eight years is $2.",
353,976, showing an increase of 62
per cent, or $136,103,899.
A dead in earnest, intelligent, en-,
thusiastic campaign for a "Greater
Iowa" will yield gratifying results in
other directions under Mr. Holden's
leadership as governor of Iowa.
HOLDEN IN BUSINESS.
Broad Training Executive Ability.
Recent Tribute From Illinois Asso
ciates of a Dozen Years Ago: "The
peeple of Illinois take a keen interest
in the Iowa gubernatorial campaign
because they know Prof. Perry G.
Holden, the republican candidate, and
they feel that Iowa will have a clean,
honorable and honest administration
with Holden as governor," said H. G.
Herget, the banker and manufacturer
of Pekin, 111., who served as general
manager of the Illinois Sugar Refin
ing Company while Holden was su
perintendent.
1 *4
Holden for many years, and have
heard him spw.k many times, a
(i ways with interest, always with
profit. Professor Holden not only
deals with those subjects which
are of vital imnortance in country
life, but he deals with them in a
way that challenges and holds in
stant and constant attention. His
audiences are invariably delight-
1
ed with his work, for he is one
of the helpful men of the coun
try."
Lectured at National Conservation
Congress, National Country Life
Commission Congress, National Edu
cational Congress, National Corn
Growers' Association, National Farm
ers' Institute, National Farmers' Con
gress, National Institute of Experi
ment Station Workers, Northwestern
an on on N a a
Grange. Was invited by Booker T.
Washington to address his school at
Tuskegee, Alabama.
Mr. Holden's lectures and writings
have been bigger and broader than
agriculture or education he has cor
related agriculture and education with
the activities of the home, the bank,
the factory, the shop, and transporta
tion.
A. S. Oakford, the wholesale groccr
of Peoria, 111., who was also actively
associated with the company employ
ing Holden, said: "He displayed not
only fine ability in an educational and
agricultural way but gave marked
evidence of most excellent executive
ability in his handling of the affairs
of the company.
"It is certainly refreshing in these
days of unsatisfactory politicians of
all parties to have a man before the
people who is possessed of not only a
nigh type of character and great effi
ciency but also those scientific attain
ments that count for so much in the
great agricultural
Similar expressions came from the
Funk Bros. Seed Co., who operate 27,
000 acres in McLean county, Illinois.
Mr. Holden resigned his position with
them as general manager to come to
Iowa.
