"AGRICULTURALISTS" BUSY.
The agricultural committee of
the Minnesota Bankers Association
has taken the initiative in a mo
ment to attempt to compel the
Board of Regents to appoint a dean
for the Agricultural College to sup
plant the present incumbent, John
W. Olsen. To accomplish this re
sult the bankers committee pro
ceeded to "investigate" the status
of the Minnesota School and found
to their horror that Minnesota
Schoosl of Agriculture was not up
to the standard of the Wisconsin
school and that the development of
agriculture in Minnesota generally
is lagging behind woefully because
there is not a high-priced dean at
the head of the agricultural school.
This investigating committee had
a fine junket to Madison, attended
the football game, heard Aldrich as
the apostle of a big central bank,
and incidentally were loaded up
with figures regarding the Wiscon
sin agricultural college which they
proceeded to publish broadcast ap
parently without making even so
much of an investigation of the col
lege of their home state. They em
bodied their "findings" in a letter
to the Board of Regents addressed
to the president, John Lind, and se
cured its publication with great
emphasis in the daily press. Copies
of this letter were sent to the local
bankers to be handed to the local
press, and in this way the Tribune
was asked to assist these "agricul-
i..,i
0
purported facts contained in this
letter which was sent broadcast
thruout the land, were so astound
ing that The Tribune secured an in
terview with the Willmar member
of the Board of Regpnts. the Hon.
A. E. Rice, to get his views regard
ing the justice of the charges made.
We found this gentleman quite be
ligerent in the matter and ready to
give what information he had.
When asked as to the compari
sons made between the Wisconsin
and Minnesota schools which were
so favorable to the former, the
Governor said:
"Some statements while plaus
ible are certainlj misleading. Af
ter stating that Wisconsin has a
law providing for teaching agricul
ture in rural schools and in Minne
sota has not, it adds, 'as a result
practically nothing is being done in
our rural schools along these lines.'
This last statement is not a fact.
"Rural School bulletin No. 1 issued
by the Minnesota institution was
the first ever issued by ANY agri-
cultural school or college giving de-1

mass convention of a few days only.
We have no such course, but if we
included the attendance at the an
nual meetings of the State Agricul
tural Society, the State Horticul
tural Society, etc., we would make
a better showing than Wisconsin.
Our short course has regulai classes
for six days each week and regular
attendance is required. If we con
sider the number of days of attend
ance of the farmers we believe the
total will exceed that of Madison.
We conduct another month's short
course for users of power machin
ery on the farm, which last year
had an attendance of 150, an an
other short course for teachers,
which had an attendance of 90
making for these short courses a to
tal of 409. In fact the growth of
the school and short courses is phe
nomenal.
The Bankers' report also states
that the "publicity department"
has advertised Wisconsin's cheese
throughout the country Did the
Committee forget about Minne
sota's reputation for its butter
thruout the United States, seeing
that it had no praise to bestow on
the work accomplished by the
Dairy department of our Agricul
tural School in this line? Minne
sotas' butter is recognized as the
best in the country. For the past
six years it has won the highest
awards at the International Dairy
Convention. You will find that the
Minnesota butter has equally good,
if not better, reputation through
out the United States than has the
cheese of Wisconsin. In spite of
the deplored lack of a "publicity
department" in a has
achieved a reputation as shown by
the numerous delegations of public
officers, Boards of Regents, heads
of experiment stations and agricul
tural colleges representing States
in every part of the Union that
have visited the institution the past
year. Their approval of the work
accomplished has been emphatic.
"The bankers' committee also de
plored the fact that Minnesota has
many millions more in manufac
tured products than in agricultural
products. Had the committee ex
amined the census report it would
have found that under the head of
manufactured products are included
lumber, flour and butter. Were

The Thanksgiving dinner given

agricultural instruction into more
though no law has been placed on elf equal to his profes
our statute books. The American
Association of Institute Workers,
after an examination of our plan
by a committee, gives it high
praise and gives Minnesota the cre
dit of being the leader in that line.
In no other ktate in the Union has
so much been done to extend agri
cultural instruction in the rural
schools without aid of special law,
and this work was initiated by the
School of Agriculture and carried
out by those connected with it.
'The Banker's committee, to em
phasize the efficiency of Wisconsin
states that the course in agriculture
for farmers was 'attended hy some
thing over 800 farmers as against
the attendance of a similar course
at our own school of 169.' This is
an unjust comparison. Wisconsin's
