| A prominent citizen of Rocking ham
County asks that the Industrial Sec
ton more fully explain the farmers
ico-operative credit or banking So
cietiesc of Europe. a series of Special
articles have been prepared for the
industrial Section and printed therein,
fully explaining the working OF THESE
credit societies in Europe, ana also
the workings Of the very few that
have been starred after the same pat
tern in this country. I could not cX-
plain them more fully. but to put the
whole matter in a nutshell. the farm
ers. cooperative credit societies of
Europe are simply little associations
or societies of neishboring farmers.
They being more thickly settled IN
that country than in this, the Socie-
ties are more numerous in given
territory than they would be IN IKE
territory in this country. and the
membership is perhaps larger than IL
would be here. Then the European
farmers have a better habit OF Coop
Grating and pulling together than
have our Virginia corn and wheat anu
tobacco growers. OF course. there IS
a large central society that all or the
smaller associations belong to To
have a membership in one of these So
cieties increases the farmers credit

TWO YEAR FARM COURSE MADE
MORE PRACTICAL

Two improvements have been made
this year in the two-year, or Middle
Course at the College of Agriculture
of the University of Wisconsin. The
purpose of this course is to help the
young man who can spend but two
years in college and who desires to
go into practical farm work at the
end of his course.
One of the improvements made this
year permits the student to take
more work in the first year and ar
ranges that work to give him broad
basis of agricultural knowledge in
Guiding all the fundamental prnci-
pies a farmer should know. In the
first year, there is no elective work,
but in the second, the electives have
been increased from eight to twenty
four units. This makes it possible
for a person in the Middle Course to
specialize during the second year
along the line of work in which he
is most interested At the beginning
of the second year the student ar
ranges his work with the department
in which he is most interested, and
a representative of this department
becomes his class adviser. Six units
of credit for work may be taken out
side of the college of agriculture.
!. The second Improvement to in
crease the efficiency of the work in
this course, is requirement Of one
year of farm experience before the
student can enter his second year.
