To the Boys and Girls Of Howard County.
The school section of the extension
department of the Iowa State College
at Ames is conducting some very
valuable work among the boys and girls
of the state in home gardens, farm
crops and household work.
Seven courses are offered, namely:
Growing better corn, ear to row test,
growing better oats. garden and pota-
to growing, cooking and sewing.
Their plan is to furnish to all boys
and girls of Iowa and to teachers and
all who desire it, full instructions for
carrying on this work in a practical
and also scientific manner, sending
these instructions by mail from time to
time as the work progresses.
All boys and girls between 10 and Is
years of age who are willing to pursue
one or more of these courses are invited
to take advantage of this opportunity.
There is no charge whatever, the SER
vices of the college, the circulars of
instruction, ETC., being entirely free.
Teachers will be supplied with blanks
and asked to enroll all who will take
up the work. These blanks to be sent
to this office and l will forward them
to Ames. Any one else caring to take
up this work may do so by sending
their names to me. 1t is hoped the
teachers will encourage this and enroll
as many pupils as possible, so that
Howard county may be numbered with
the progressive counties of the state.
