Larrowe, widely known engineer and president of the large manufacturing concern whose donation* made the In- ititute possible, in explaining why the institute has chosen tliis field for its activity. “Not only are physical con ditions suited to it, but an ever-in creasing market is furnished in the rapidly growing population centers nearby. No other farm effort will pay him so well as efficient dairying with poultry raising as a companion enterprise. The Institute will keep the farm e r informed on ways to in crease his cow and hen elficiency through research and inte^retation of the great work of the various agri- cultuRU colleges.
