Tried here which was found to increase the proportion of educated men that go to farming nearly forty-fold, would one not think that farmers would look upon it with favor and some pride? This is what the college and a few like it have done; they have made educated men to be good farmers in forty-fold greater proportion than any or all other colleges, and yet it bangs in doubt each two years whether a legislature of farmers will permit it to live or abandon ...it to die.
