Farmers Short Course in Agriculture

1t Is an established fact that the
farm can no longer be run successful
iy in the old time ~haphazard fashion.
| Science and brains skilfully applied
| % farming so increase the yield and
improve its quality as to make some
knowledge Of the underlying prlnci-
| pies of scientific farming essential to
| the farmer Of today. While is is real
| lied that the four year course In none
too long to give a boy the foundation
| which will insure success in farming,
it is also clearly seen that there are
many practical farmers who have nei-
Their the time nor the means to devote
four years to a college course and
who would be greatly benefited by a
few weeks spent at College. To meet
such q demand the College offers a
short course of four weeks during the
month of January. This course in ag-
riculture is a practical course in farm
ing and is meant for farmers. 1t would
aid the man who wants to farm on a
business basis and who desires to get
larger returns for his labor.
The entire resources of the College
are at the service of the Short Course
students. This in itself is a liberal ed
ucation. In their work they may util-
ize the new barns, the finest In the
South; the new dairy building; the
Experiment Station grounds; the Col
lege farm; the Horticultural plant;
the various laboratories Of the Agri-
cultural Department; and the general
libraries. They are also invited to take
part in any student activities in which
they care to engage. January 3rd,
1913 inaugurates the beginning of the
third session for short course stu
dents. The first two years OF this
course proved unusually successful.
All who have taken the short course
agree that it has paid them many fold.
The work will consist of the follow
ing subjects: animal husbandry, sew
en- hours per week: dairying, three
hours per week; soil tynes and siol
management, five hours per week;
farm crops, four hours per week; fer
tilizers, four hours per week; farm
machinery, four hours per week; hor-
ti~culture, three hours per week; vetri-
nary science, two hours per week;
study of injurious insects and how to
control them, two hours per week;
plant diseases, two hours per week;
and cotton grading, four hours per
week. These courses are supplement-
ed by illustrated lectures in the eve
nings. These lectures will be given by
members of the teaching staff and will
include discussions on farm machin-
cry, farm science, insect and plant
diseases, different breeds of live stock
dairy methods, plant breeding, results
of seed selection, etc. This course be-
gins January 3. 1913, and continues
for four weeks. 1t Is open to all far
