AMES AFTER FARMERS
The State Agricultural College At
AmeS Offers New And Interest
ing Short Courses

The State Agricultural College at
Ames lived up to its reputation again
this year by capturing some of the
big prizes at the International Live
Stock Exposition.
Since this annual exposition was es-
tablished more than ten years ago the
Ames school has carried off more
Championships for fat cattle and hogs
thad ALL OTHER AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGEs CONFINED.
It follows that farmers will do we'll
to take notice of the new plan of this
college to tell stockmen during the
winter course how to fatten stock.
This course opens New Years Day at
Ames and continues two weeks. All
the knowledge and experience of the
college instructors have been con-
deneed into this short course, which
will include feeding, breeding and
management of all classes of live stock
It is clear that the course ought to be
worth while to the average farmer.
The horticultural department is
planning similar course, which will
be as valuable to the fruit grower.
The prime object Of this course will be
to show Iowa people how to make
apple-growipg actually profitable
from commercial standpoint. 1t is
puzzle to many people that Iowa
carries off regularly many of the pri-
yes at the national apple shows, and
yet Iowa apple-growers make no mo-
ney out of the business. This course
will show why this is true and how
this condition may be remedied.
Ames instructors believe that there is
money in Iowa apples; and in view
Of the fact that they have generally
proved themselves right in the past
orchard owners will do we'll to "get a
line" on them in their new propa-
ganda.
