sHoRr COURSE ATTRACTS.

Epthusiasm is running at high pitc
concerning the short course which is
to be held in Manchester from Feb.
fuary 15 to February 20. One of the
liyeiiest and most interesting county
spelling contests will be held on Fri.
day evening, February 10, at which
every school in each district, the
eight grades in Central school in this
city. and the West Side and North
Manchester schools will be represent
ed, BY pupils chosen by the teachers.
Other towns in county will be per-
mitted to send delegates or represent
atives likewise. A promise of the
greatest collection of corn ever dis
played in the county has been given
to the farmer and town folk, who are
working shoulder to shoulder to make
the short course a great success.
Committees are being appointed to
manage the stock exhibition, grain
contest and the department of do
nestle science. Every farmer in the
county and northeastern Iowa is
urged to send or bring samples Of
corn, where the same may be judged
by the most expert judges in tho
state. Iowa has always led as a great
corn state, nd yet a constant and
earnest appeal is being made by agri-
culturists for improved corn seed,
which. If properly cultivated, will in
crease annual crop two-fold. These
short courses are afforded the farm
er for the purpose of education along
farm lines. Each grain and stock
man In the county should avail him
self OF this opportunity.
There will be course of instruc-
ton in Judging stock, similar to that
given at Ames in the state college.
Cattle will be on exhibition which
have been grown and cared for at
Ames. This feature Of the five days
workswill be of interest.
Not only are the women interested
In the domestic science course, but
considerable activity has been dis
played on the part of the men. Al,
though Miss Charlton taught class
last season composed of women. yet
the jolly times enjoyed during the
morning and afternoon hours by the
girls and women have caused their
husbands and fathers to know what
is done.
The short course begins next week.
Monday. February Is. and the officers
are receiving, communications from
applicants. some of whom are ac-
quaihted with the work, having at
tendedd last ear. and others who de-
sire to begin the study.
