ed, as far as possible, so as to devote
each day to a special topic, and
thereby get the most out OF each
subject in a given time. However,
as all of the topics have direct
bearing upon the general subject OF
agriculture, it Is desired that as
many as possible take the entire
series, as some Of the subjects given
will lose part of their value II une
collateral information is not secured.
To accommodate those who may not
be able to stay throughout the full
course, the railroads have agreed to
two or more selling dates for tick
cts. as noted elsewhere, and the tick
cts will be good for returning up to
any time before expiration.
What You Should Do II Your Rail-
road Agent Doesn't Have the
Reduced Tariff.
In that event, take receipt for
the full amount paid for the ticket,
and. on reaching Baton Rouge, re-
port the matter to the Dean OF the
College, w. r.. Dodson, and give him
the receipt for your fare; and II re-
turn ticket is not provided at one
third fare, pay full fare returning,
and take receipt, and tw'o-thirds OF
one fare, less 25 cents, will be re-
turned to you. This explanation Is
given because Of the fact that there
are always some agents who do not
receive instructions for the sale OF
reduced fare tickets, or who do not
obey Instructions.

Those attending the course should
try to reach Baton Rouge in time to
select a boarding place on Monday
afternoon, January s, and be ready
tor the night meeting. This will
prevent the loss OF some part OF the
work by having to look after board
ing places later.
Attitude Toward the Work Of ME
Course
To obtain the most from the
course, there should be a determine
ton to give due consideration to the
fact, that those who will lead In this
work have been assigned specific sub
jects in which they are supposed to
excel, although there may be special
points not brought out by the lead
ers on which interpolation may be at
forded by others for the benefit Of
all. There should be willingness
to give as well as to receive, on the
part of everybody.
A short rest from the cares OF the
home and farm, and catching the
spirit and the methods OF those who
are successfully meeting modern
conditions, will be found valuable
asset in the Tong run.
