! With the great war apparently in its
final stages, we all find ourselves won
dering what situation will confront the
American farmer after peace has been
restored.
No one can answer this question
to the satisfaction of all and yet there
are certain facts that the American
farmer must recognize, We all know
that there is little chance for farming
ever to be upon exactly the same basis
as before the war The conditions
prevailing for the past three or four
years have shown to America and, for
that matter to the whole world, the
vital importance of good farming. The

1t is the purpose of the University
to devote the forenoOns to one study

it will be possible for farmer to carry
two studies at the same time. In adj

two additional lectures or demonstra-

affected every industry and every in

has been the labor shortage.
