Messrs. Editors THE Department of Farmers
Institutes of the Maryland Agricultural College
will give you Farmers Institute School at rail-
way stations along the Maryland and Pennsyl-
vania Railroad.
There are doubtless many farmers and their
sons and daughters, who desire to know more OF
the science of agriculture who would enter q
course at the Agricultural College. or would at
tend Farmers Institute if it were not necessary
for them to give personal attention to the work
of the farm, and there are others who read bull
letins of the Experiment Station and attend
Farmers Institutes yet thirst for more infor-
nation on the problems of the farm.
The Farmers Institutes whose purpose. says
the law, is Ito bring before the farmers infor-
nation" must necessarily discuss many topics
briefly and as now meetings must be held in
court houses. school houses or halls where the
lecturers can have comfortable lodging and
board, the Institutes go to towns too far from
the farmers home for him to attend and to do
before night the feeding, the milking, or the
chores, and permit him again to return to an
evening session.
To make it possible for more farmers to profit
by the Farmers Institute the Department will
bring the Institute within easy driving distance
of the farmers for whom the Institute was in
tended, and who need it more than do the town
people; and also to introduce the Farmers In
stitute School or Short Courses, a new system
of Instruction. more thorough than the old Insti-
tute. 1t is the link between the Institute and
the Agricultural College short course.
The Department has obtained a superinten-
dents private car, which has been equipped with
the best facilities for boarding lecturers. 1t has
also a lecture hall with light, heat and good ven
tilation, and seating capacity for fifty persons.
Plans are now complete to move this car over
the Maryland & Pennsylvania Railroad. between
