Short Course Should Be
Continued.

Evening Wisconsin: The end of the
short course in agriculture at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin is this year marked
by rumors that because of the crowding
of the instructors with work during the
long course, the short course may be
discontinued. This is probably untrue
Nothing more promising for Wisconsin
agriculture than the short course fol-
farm boys who can not spare the time
or the money for the longer course was
ever devised by the Board of Regents
and faculty of the university. The
short course should be continued, and
it's scope broadened as much as possible
so that the youth of the state may be
encouraged to undertake scientific
farming.
