The Sank Centre public schools
are doing good work along agricul-
tural lines. X. A. Norsen, instructor
in agriculture, is the right man for
the place and has already awakened
much interest among the pupils of
the schools. Mr.. Norsen has also
set the farmers to thinking and in
vestigating.
Supt. Aygarn is also an enthusiast
along these lines and is backing up
Mr.. Norsens efforts. The latest
thing in the agricultural line comes
in the form of an announcement that
during the week of November 6 to
II, free extension work for farmers
will be staged here. During the week
lectures will be given on different
phases of farm life work. Meetings
will be held in school houses in the
vicinity of Sank Centre. and on Sat
urday, November II, there will be a
mass meeting in the city hall in Sank
Centre. This work will be carried
on by speakers from the Extension
Department of the State Agricultural
College, together with Mr.. Norsen
and Supt. Aygarn. This is a fine OPP
portunity for the farmers in this vi

and most valuable and practical
ideas relative to their occupation. A
cordial invitation is extended by
Supt. Aygarn, Mr.. Norsen and the
