Morgantown, w. Va.-The farmers
tural college, West Virginia Univer-
sity, Feb. 1st. About fifty farmers
were in attendance the first day and
the number grew from day to day.
Several of the farmers have attended
the course during several previous
winters Fathers whose sons are TAX
ing the four years course, came, that
hey might get in closer touch with
their sons work, and also to improve
their knowledge of farm methods. Be-
'ides the regular members of the Agri-
cultural faculty teaching in this farm
srs' course, men of prominence both
from West Virginia and other states
give assistance. Prof. Bear, of Ohio
State University, gave instructions in
soil fertility; Prof. Rice, of Cornell, on
poultry culture; Prof. A. B. Graham,
Of Ohio State University, on rural life
Improvement; Mr.. Arnold, Of the U. s..
Department of Agriculture, on farm
management; Messrs. Moore and Full
.on, of West Virginia. on horticulture;
DR.. Miller, of Ohio, on sheep raising,
and Mr.. Charles H. Royce of the Wad-
dington farm, West Virginia, on dairy
COWS. Farmers were busy in class and
demonstration work from a. m. to 5
p. m. Special lectures were held near
ly every evening.
Does 1t Pay to Spray7
The extension division of the Col
lege of Agriculture is sending out
blank applications to those who desire
pruning and spraying demonstration.
Mr.. Preston, of Greenbrier county,
writes Our old apple trees that we
sprayed were just loaded with nice
apples. This was a rare occurrence
with our trees. The trees that We did
not spray yielded nothing but leaves
and very few knotty apples" The
only inference that can possibly be
drawn from the above object lesson IS
that it pays and pays we'll to spray.
Mr.. Alley, of Mingo county, writes;
Il am highly pleased with the I'M
proved condition of my orchard. due
to the spraying. l feel it will be the
means of stimulating fruit growing in
! this section of the state"
The College on Wheels.
The extension division of the Col.
lege of Agriculture will run a special
