In an effort to make sure that the
students OF the State College of Agrl-
culture at Cornell have sufficient
practical farm experience the college
authorities are working on a plan BY
which these students will be given en-
ployment on farms throughout the
state during the summer months.
The college authorities are seeking
first hand information about farms
which are run on a business basis and
with up to date farming methods. and
where the owners will take an interes,

the students on these farms as labor-

problems, but it Is expected that they
will. bc paid only for the work which
they do on a basis Of what they are
worth to the farmer.
Candidates for degrees in arricul-

CURED TO have practical experience on
farms. Some Of the students who at
tend the college are from city com

are planted. and in odd patches Of

stepping stones in garden paths.

gardener an opportunity for trying
new kinds Of flowers for which there

must exclude those plants which
make more Of a showing. Another
useful end accomplished, besides the
obvious aesthetic one. is that the low
growing plants keep the ground
shaded and act as a moisture preserv-

Care should be used in making the
combinations. so that the color of the
low flower will not conflict with that
