sin, today under the auspices of the

vailing interest in the war the session
was well attended and characterized
by an earnestness and enthusiasm that
promise real results. Inasmuch as in
creased production is one Of the de-
mands of the government in the prose
cution of the present conflict the short

and is attracting more attention than
it has ever received before.
Although it is now too late for Keno
sha county people to register for the
course it is not too late to visit the
capital city and attend some of the

interesting facts and opportunities
on the farm.
4. To help young men with little or no
capital to secure positions where
they can save money and gain
valuable experience.
5. To uplift the farming interests of
the state, to make better farmers
and more intelligent and useful citi-
zens.
Requirements for Admission.
Students should be at least sixteen
years of ege and have common school

tage. Young men at least twenty years
