prevails among too many farmers
, that all agricultural meetings are in
Charge OF men and women who
have learned all they know about
farming from books. The people
who will be heard here November 2
and 8 are people who have tone
things themselves, and who are in
a position to tell others the things
they have learned in the school Of
experience.

ces OF one Of tile big occupations OF
the country, whose name is not

carry the message and gospel Of bet
ter farming to the people Of the
United States without charge or OBJ

ton to hear the things told and ex-
piaine,l at the two day session here.
| Mrs, Ada f. How're, u Wisconsin
woman, who has earned for herself
the reputation Of operating the best
dairy herd in America, will be on
hand to tell How to Build Prof-
table Dairy Herd" Mrs. Howie
is i'll better position to tell this sto
ry than anybody in America per-
haps. She didn't gain her infor-
nation from books, nor did she
have a dairy herd bequeathed to
her she began with one or two
scrub cattle thirty years ago and in
the years that have interviewed has
built no her present herd, She bias
been to Europe and studied the
herds of the Dutch, English and
other renowned dairy people.

will be H s Mobley, OF Arkansas,
who has developed bugless Irish

Mobley is extremely practical and
knows the things he tells from eX-
perience.
Other things to be discussed will

Study OF Agriculture" Public
school teachers will do well to hear

way that the pupils receive no bene-
fit from it but actually detest the
subject.
