JAMES CHRISTIAN HOGENSON, M. S. A.

    James Christian Hagensen, an expert on the subject of scientific
agriculture, now connected with the extension division of the Utah Agricultural
College at Logan, was born in Denmark in 1874, but was only six years of age
when in 1880 he was brought by his parents, Niels and Bodel Hogenson, to the new
world. The family home was established in Logan, where the father engaged in
farming until his death, which occurred in 1886.

    James C. Hogenson acquired his early education in the schools of Newton and
afterward attended the Utah Agricultural College, where he won the Bachelor of
Science degree as a member of the class of 1899. He later spent one year as a
student in the Michigan Agricultural College at East Lansing. He was next
connected for four years with the Bureau of Soils at Washington, D. C. He then
attended Cornell University for one year, where he received the degree of Master
of Agriculture. This broad and valuable college training and practical
experience qualified him for the work which he undertook upon his return to
Utah. He became connected with the Utah Agricultural College at Logan in 1907
and has since been a representative of this institution, being attached to the
extension division. He was first agronomist at the experimental station for four
years and later became state leader of the boys' and girls' club work in
cooperation with the United States department of agriculture. At the present
time he has charge of the farmers' institutes and schools, has charge of all the
correspondence concerning agriculture and the training of leader's.

    In 1903 Mr. Hogenson was married to Miss Lydia Baker, a daughter of Jarvls
Y. and Rachel (Richards) Baker. They have become parents of four children: Melba
Doloris, who is fourteen years of age; Helen Aurelia, a maiden of eleven
summers; and Beatrice Lucy and James Christian, Jr., who are seven and three
years of age respectively. Mr. Hogenson is a member of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints, has been superintendent of the fourth ward Sunday
school and member of the Sixty-fourth Quorum of Seventy. His activities in the
church and in behalf of the agricultural development of the state have made him
a valued citizen of Utah. He stands as a splendid exponent of scientific farming
and his teachings have been of great service to the commonwealth.
