Description

Preliminary Statement
In the spring of 1927, Mr. C. C. Webber approached the State Board of Regents of Education with the following problem:
"I own a lot of land, and pay taxes on it, in the state of South Dakota. I want to know if I shall continue to keep this land, and pay taxes on it. The State Agricultural College, I think, is the institution to show me. Now I propose to the State Board of Regents of Education that they:
1. Select any piece of land that I own in South Dakota for the purpose of conducting a demonstration farm by actual farming tests.
2. After this land has been selected, plan and supervise the construction of a practicable set of improvements, advise me, and I will pay for same
3. I will pay the taxes on any piece of such land you may select for a period of 10 years.
4. Give you complete authority to operate the same for 10 years, and then make a report of it."
The above provisions were agreed to by the State Board of Regents of Education, and said Board signed a contract with Mr. Webber to carry into effect the above propositions.
