College Of Agriculture, Farmers
Week.
March eth to Mareh lsth, lnelusive.

mdICn yin 10 maICn iStny AhCiusASe.
Last year the College OF Agricul
ture, University of Maine, offered a
four days course of very practical
nature to the farmers of the state.
This proved to be such a grand sue
cess that this year from March 9th to
18th, inclusive, the College of Agri-
culture is preparing program for
the farmers and their wives that will,
if possible, eclipse that of last year.
The Bangor and Aroostook Rail-
road will offer one fare for the round
trip and the Maine Central, Somerset,
and Washington County railroads
will give one and one third fare for
the round trip. This is certainly one
of the most commendable lines of
work the College of Agriculture is do
ing for the rural population of the
state of Maine. 1t offers all those
who will give few hours of their
time the maximum amount of practi-
cal information, so far es this is pos
sible by lectures and demonstrations,
in the minimum amount OF tim g.
Not only are they offering instruction
in the most up to date and approved
methods of agriculture in order to Sc
cure better farm management, but
they have secured the services of one
of the leading instructors in the
country in Home Economies and Do
mestic Science. This should bring q
host of farmers, their wives, sons and
daughters to the College of Agricul-
ture at Orono during the second week
in March.
The farmers of the state deserve as
much as any class of people, an oc-
casional recreation, and this Is an ad-
mirable time to secure rest, recrea-
tion, enlightenment and enthusiasm
in their CALI & at one and the same
time. Let the old and middle aged
attend and be young again, as when
they were planning their first real
home, and the sons and daughters at
tend and carry away some ideas that
may aid in building up that home to
come. Attend these meetings and
return home with greater enthusi-
asm for your work, with greater in
terest and pride in your calling and
perhaps determination to make the
old farm to yield up more in the way
of dollars and cents and also a more
comfortable or even luxurious live
lihood.

would not be necessary to withdraw

ably take to the woods. Should the
intrepid and bucketuphellous captain

wither all opposition. One discharge
