partments at the end of last weel
showed an increase of Is per cent Over
the enrolment at the same time a
year ago. Advance indications are
that the enrolment in the farm hus-
bandry and farm machinery courses

Applications and inquiries have al
ready been received from nearly zoo
prospective students. These courses

the crop conditions of the past year
in this state have given an added

Aspiring band men at the college are
now hard at work under the direction
of DR.. Putnam. Some very promising
candidates have offered themselves for
this work and more will doubtless ap-

Musicians who can claim any pro-
ficiency on that particular instrument
would be very welcome and would
have an opportunity of receiving some
valuable training under DR.. Putnam's
direction.
