AAAl E~A-NA0N-a VIM ~ 80 @ANNN 7
Railroad of forty-five scholarships of
500 each to the short winter course /
in Agriculture at the University of
Missouri next winter affords rare /
opportunity for some of the people /
living in the Frisco territory to secure /
much valuable instruction in agricul- |
ture at the Agricultural College with
out any cost to them whatever. The |
Frisco proposes to award one of these
scholarships in each county in Mis-
souri, through which their lines ex-
tends to the man or boy sixteen years |
old or over who grows and exhibits |
the best ten ears in his county |
this year. These scholarships will
pay the entire term offourteen weeks !
beginning November LIST, 1910.
The short winter course teaches
men and boys how to farm better.
Practical instruction is given in Soil
Fertility, Farm Crops, Animal Breed
ing, Stock Judging, Veterinary Sci
ence, Feeding of Livestock, Dairy
ing, Horticulture, Farm Buildings,
Machinery, Poultry Farming and
other lines of farm work. You will
gain much valuable information that
you can put into practice every day
on the farm-information that not
only will be of value to you but to
your neighbor as well by observation
of your results. The Frisco Railroad,
after carefully investigating the work
done at the Agricultural College, be-
lieves it can well afford to send farm
ers along its lines to the College to
make careful study of modern meth
DDS of Agriculture. Why not take adj
vantage of the railroads generous
offer and prepare yourself to select
and grow the best corn, to know the
best types of cattle, horses, sheep
and swine, to know how to feed the
dairy cow to make her produce the
most milk, to know how to cultivate
and spray the orchard to make it pro-
duce the most, to know how to cure
hog cholera, and to prevent the
spread of this disease-in short, to
know how to get the most out of
farm life both in a remunerative as
well as enjoyable way.
The business of good farming is
taught at the Agricultural College
every year to hundreds of the bright
est and most up-to-date farmer boys
of Missouri. Here are the opinions
of some who have taken the course.
Glen 0. Yoder of Holden said: 'The
work has indeed been profitable to
me. believe that each dollar have
spent will be at least ten dollars to
me within few years. Grant H.
Morthland of Moline said: 81 believe
that every day was worth the price
Of the whole term in dollars and
cents. H. B. Herring of Forest
Green said: 'This course, | believe
will be worth thousands of dollars to
me in after life and to my neighbors. !"
Why not ally yourself with these
young men who are to be the leading
farmers of Missouri in a few years?
1t is wellIto enter the Frisco con-
test simply to learn how to select
corn for shows and to learn how to
prepare the seed bed, to plant and to
cultivate. The enthusiasm which you
will gain by being in the contest will
be great incentive for better farm
ing and more knowledge for the un-
DERIVING principles of this noble pro-
fession.
Join the contest, send your name,
age and address TO the Agricultural
College, plant some good corn and do
your best to win the scholarship in
your county. If you want more infor-
