ban people for instruction along any

more thorough and extended than IN
possible at a one-day meeting or visit.
The Neighborhood Short Course Is
conducted for four days at any given
place. Sessions may be held in the
morning and afternoon. or evening, de-
pending upon the desire and conyen-
fence of the patrons.
instruction is given In the following
subjects: Soils, Farm Crops, Orchard
Crops, Truck Crop. Gardening. Dairy
Husbandry, Poultry Husbandry, Plant
Diseases and Injurious Insects. II is
recommended that not more than two
OF these subjects be discussed at any
one school. so that each may be con-
Quoted as thoroughly as possible.
The aim Is to give lectures ON the
subject supplemented by practical
demonstrations. The most essential
thing for the success Of the neighbor.

ers, business men or commercial clubs,
the women, the school teachers and
superintendents,-in fact. everyone
shall interest themselves In the course.
and take an active part in the plans
