Show THE GOVERNOR'S APPOINTMENTS. APPOINT-MENTS. The Deserct Farmer is interested only in those appointments made by Governor Spry, with reference to their work in tine development of agri- ' cultural interests of the state. We' arc especially pleased with the appointments made on the Agricultural Agricul-tural College Board. Presid-cnt Slohl and trustees Smart, Gates and White-cotton White-cotton were reappointed. Those members have all bocn particularly interested in industrial education, and have given freely of their time ami , energy in the work intrusted to them. The succe-s that has conic to them was clearly shown in the recent re port issued by the Board of Trustees. Trus-tees. The growth of the College dur ing the past two ye:ns, under their, administration hs been a little short of phenomenal, and when we con-, sidcr the decreased appropriation SO-cured SO-cured two years ago, and the hittai' antagonism awakened on the part of some people in Cache County, it-seems it-seems almost marvelous that the College Col-lege should have made such rapi(l growth. It was" certainly due those , trustees that they should be reappointed reap-pointed to this appointment, and thus allowed to continue unhampered the work they arc doing in the making of the Agricultural College, the In- stitution that the people of the stato desire that it should be. The new appointment riu thi ' Board, Mathonihah Thomas, is a I present member of the Salt Lake school board. He was at one time a resident of Logan, and is at present pres-ent a prominent and successful lawyer law-yer in Salt Lake City. He is particularly par-ticularly interested in the College And the work it is doing, and will bring to 'the Board splendid executive execu-tive ability. He is a most desirable acquisition to the Board of Trustees, ?nd the Governor is to be warmly commended in this selection. The old members of the Board, Mrs. Mc-Cunc Mc-Cunc and Trustee Adams, of course, continue for two years. The appointment of Mr. J. Edward Taylor, as Horticultural inspector, is n very happy one. It is a vindication for the cause of agricultural education. Mr. Taylor was the only candidate who had received an agricultural education, edu-cation, and since he has mad'o a splendid record as Secretary of the State Board of Horticulture, his appointment ap-pointment comes as a tribute to his efficiency and worth. His duties as Horticultural inspector will be very different to those of Secretary of the Board. His new duties carry him into the field most of the time. In this way he will have an opportunity of meeting the fruit growers and give constant encouragement to better methods. Mr. Taylor's appointmtnt was not a political one in any sense. It was made because Governor Spry believes in securing the most efficient effi-cient public officers that it is possible possi-ble to secure. The Governor's appointments on the State Laud Board and the Board of Sheep Comm.tsioncrs, were deserving de-serving and receives the support of the ma'sses of the people of .this state. In conclusion, we desire to call attention to the fact that the first few months of Governor Spry's administration ad-ministration justify the conclusion that he is heart and soul in sympathy sympa-thy with the great work going on for the uplifting of agriculture, and will do all in his -power to aid in this movement. Although he has been severely censured by some who should have stood by as loyal friends, yet his actions so far a agriculture agri-culture is concerned, arc deserving of the highest commendation. The Dcs-cret Dcs-cret Farmer freely extends its heart- icst congratulations on the magnifi cent work thus far accomplished. n |
