The farmers field day meeting at the
State College is an annual event of no little
interest and is one which many profit BY,
and more should. This year it will be held
on Wednesday, June 9th. Beans and coffee
will be furnished at the college and the Wis
itors will depend also on their lunch bas-
kets. The cost of enjoying this visit will

one fare. The programme of the day
will consist of inspection of the grounds
and buildings of the College, exer-
cises by the students and addresses by
visitors and members of the faculty. The
buildings will be opens, allowing all to see
the museums, laboratories, workshops,
forcing houses. recitation and drawing
rooms, apparatus and other facilities for in
struction. The machinery of the dairy
building and the mechanic arts department
will be in operation. Parents who have
children to educate, and young men who
wish to become acquainted with the oppor-
tunities offered in the several courses of
study will do we'll to visit the college at
this time.
