Certificate Course in Agriculture

Berca College offers a number Of splendid
short courses in Agriculture Of one term each
Twelve weeks in the Winter term, and ten
weeks in the Spring term.
In one of these e-term courses young man
may get q good knowledge of three great parts
Of Agriculture-Soils Farm Crops and Animal
Husbandry. The study Of Soils takes up the
method of making poor soils good and good
soils better. In Farm Crops we study and plan
the kind of crops that are suitable for noun
tain farms and that can be grown for profit in
our great mountain region.
The young men in this Certificate Course
this winter will study the various crops that
we have raised on our College farm and on the
experiment field. They will find out how drain
age, lime, fertilizers and cultivation improve
the land; they will have an opportunity to
observe the practical treatment of different
soils, rotation OF crops, seeding, cultivation and
harvesting; they will also be taught how to
manage mountain farms for profit, how to i'm
prove buildings. fences, buy tools, and sell farm
products.
