A great number, also, have received advanced degrees from Eastern aud Westrn colleges and universities, where, without exception, credits and advanced standing have been given students for their work at the A.

Aside from the degree graduates, students who have beeu graduated from the certificate courses have always been in demand as special teachers in high schools, mechanics in various trades, clerks in commercial and banking establishments, and many are prominent farmers and stock raisers in Utah and adjoining states. STANDARD OF COLLEGE. The high standing of the lege among other schools is i Col- -; at-- ! tested in the fact that the work required for certificates and degrees exceeds that rquired by many other schools of recognized standard, and in the fact that full credit for work done here is given by the great eastern and western, universities, such as Harvard, Cornell, Chicago, Stanford. COST PER STUDENT. tween very shallow and the eight and nine inch plowing, and between the latter and the deep plats there is a difference in tavor of the subsoiled of from two to five bushels. It would be well for the farmer (to note such facts as these. Experiments on wheat ground in Tooele County in 1905 with a view of demonstrating the value of spring harrowing showed a yield of from five to six bushels more to the acre on plats that had been spring harrowed only over those that had been harrowed and rolled. The results from other farms corroborated these "results At this rate, ithe roller costs the farmer practically $3.75 for every acre rolled. . Experiments at the College in ihiU Brome Grass stands second only to alfalfa in nutritive value and drouth resistant. It gives promise of converting into green pastures, areas heretofore regarded as absolutely valueless. All it needs is & little intelligent handling to give it a good start apd after that it requires no attention. The value to Utah each year of the experiments on alfalfa alone at the College exceeds the entire state appropriations for the support of the institution. sub-soii- ed andjil y, Besides the above named graduates, many others are engaged in ' During the year ilieie weie 716 students in the Agricultural College, exclusive of summer school students, representing 15 states: Utah, Idaho, Arizona, Alaska, Calitornia, Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, !8outh Dakota, aud Wyoming.

At the St. Louis Exposition, the exhibit of the Agricultural College secured the GRAND PRIZE over all competitive schools, these numbering more than 40. The collaboration of work in Mechanic Arts was awarded a gold medal," the highest. "With but two or three exceptions every one of the seventy odd creameries in the State of Utah is in charge of a student or graduate from the Dairy department at the Agricultural College. Thats quite a record. Logan has the advantage network of great canals and its gutters and ditches are ever filled with running water. The 'Agricultural College is particularly fortunate in having abundance at any season of the year. At the Portland Exposition last year the collective exhibit of the Agricultural College was given the highest award gold medal this in competition with all schools west of Denver. Department Exhibits were awarded two gold medals and various silver medals. , According to the report of the U. S. Commissioner of Education, the average cost per student for the colleges and universities throughout the country is $325 00. lu this connection the following statistics taken from the report of the Secretary of the Board of Trustees of the Agricultural College of Utah will be of interest : The average total cost per student per jear, from the time the College first opened in 1S90 to date, for buildings, equipment, ' and maintenance, is $140.58.
