1.-The Connecticut Agricultural col
lege extension school, which has been
held the last four days, surpassed in
interest and helpfulness the expecta-
lions OF the most enthusiastic. Being
! ing the first school of the kind ever
held in the state. the farmers hardly
knew what to expect. Those who

chemicals used in mixing fertilizer
formulaes, several varieties of lime
| and varieties Of seeds. The school
| also brought a library for use by
those wishing, containing forty of the
economics subjects. The typewriter
outlines which were passed around
/ before each lecture were a most help
full feature and were kept by every
one and taken home to be put on file
where they will doubtless be referred
to as occasion demands. The con-
slant interruption of the professors
by questions from the audience was
proof conclusive of the great interest.
Hearty Cooperation.

assistant professor of agronomy, COW
cred the second subject; Roy E. Jones
extension poultryman, handled the

The rest of the article goes into
detail regarding these courses and the
different points brought out in the

of each course, and the way it was
handled by the men in charge.
| With the able and efficient officers
/ and committeeman in charge of the
school at Woodstock. and the hearty
cooperation of the state college, this
school should at least equal the rec
ord of success made by the first ex-
tension school in agriculture held il
