Education as a path to Wisconsin farming advancement
A Walworth County Agricultural Society gathering urges Wisconsin to establish agricultural education in schools and colleges. Speakers argue farming must be elevated to a learned profession, with state support for agricultural schools and a farm attached to one. The address calls for action by legislators and local communities to invest in education, infrastructure, and regional academies. The piece notes regional travel to fairs, praising organization and displays at the Waukesha County Fair, with observations on fruit, livestock, and exhibits, and ends with a brief note on a Cleveland political event.
