Through the persistent effort Of
the Colorado Cattle ssd horse
Growers Association there hes st
last been established at the Colorado
Agricultural College a school Of ag-
riculture which will open October
5th. This course is intended for
farm boys and girls who have com
pleted the common school coarre and
who desire some practical scientific
kMowledge Of aericsltare. The
course consists OF three years OF ak
months in each year and is largely
made up of practical work in agri-
culture and its branches.
A majority of the bows and girls
OF today want practical education.
They want education that they can
at once use in their every v-day work
| The boys and girls OF the farm want
a knowledge OF the primary princi-
pies OF scientific agriculture and
some experience in practical appli-
cation a comparatively small per
cent Of the Young men and women
| of today have time or inclination for
full college course along general
! lines aud this new course is intended
to supply the demand for specific
! knowledge for those who intend TO
make agriculture their life work.
Every member of this association
has an interest in making this new
course successful We all want to
give our children the advantages
most of us were unable to secure and
to equip them with the practical
know ledge that will enable them TO
make a success of their life work.
This new course should have the
support of every member of this or
paniZation and we earnestly urge
all our members to make every effort
to send their children to Fort Collins
and let them have the advantages of
this practical work. In many in
stances this will require sacrifices on
the part of parents, but IT is not only
duty they owe their boys and girls,
but will undoubtedly prove a good
business investment as the practical
knowledge secured during the win
ter will be available for practical ap-
plication on the farm during the va
cation. All members are requested
to investigate this matter and do
what they can to help the good work
Ii means much for the future Of
agriculture in Colorado.
Colorado is practically without any
statistics of value on agriculture in
the state. At the request of this
association the State Board of Agri-
culture is arranging to inaugurate a
system OF statistical work and crop
reports and the members of this
association will be called upon
shortly to lend tLeir assistance in
making this work success 1t is
for the benefit of all and there should
be every effort made on our part to
grant this assistance. Without the
cooperation of the stockmen and
