The State do Agricultural Colleges Pay
Hugh J. Hughes of North Dakota Agricultural College argues against the claim that agricultural colleges fail to pay. He cites lectures to about 38,000 in 90 venues, notes high short course attendance, and explains graduates mostly stay in teaching or government work. He credits colleges with major regional agricultural advances and asserts sustained value beyond direct farmer income. He also reports local notes on Junker's remains moved to Wisconsin, a Foster County corn and potato exhibit, Dickinson as district courthouse site, and Stowers Live Stock Co. incorporation.
