19 generally known. Earnest men and women, Stock Breeders' Associations, Dairymen's Associations, Boards of Agriculture, Horticultural Societies, Farmers 1 Institutes, Poultry Breeders9 Associations and kindred organizations, are in a great measure due to appropriations made by the legislature of this and other States. All of these organizations made strong by State aid have contributed much in securing proper recognition for agriculture at the hands of the General Assembly of this State in the erection and equipment of this grand edifice. To those in charge of this great work of agricultural education I wish to extend hearty congratulations, your success in the future will depend upon whether you keep close to the people interested—to what they need and require—to those things the knowledge of which will make them better farmers and better citizens—to those things that are practical as well as educational. If you will but carry out in good faith the motto of this great University and link •• Learning and Labor" in very truth, you will meet our expectations. Dignify labor with learning and make it intelligent and self-respecting and you will bring about a new era in agriculture which will redound to the good of the state and of the people.
