LINDEN FARMERS CAN GO
TO COLLEGE RIGHT AT HOME


The policy of the Washington State
College is to serve the public in the
very best way possible. Realizing that
many are unable to come in direct
contact with it as an institution, it
has arranged and now offers courses
by correspondence on most of the i'm
portant subjects of Agriculture and
Home Economics.
Three courses will be given in AMI
NAL husbandry. The first will take up
the breeding, care and feeding of
Beef Cattle. The next one will deal
with Hogs in much the same manner,
while the third handles the Sheep
problem.
Cereal Crops, will be given in II
lessons, dealing with the raising, cul-
tivation, and marketing of such GER
eals as wheats, oats, corn, barley,
rye, and other cereal crops raised in
this state.
Dairying will be taken up and ham
died in two different courses. Milk
Production will deal with the prOduc-
ton of milk from the standpoint of
dairying, and the place it occupies in
the system of general agriculture. 1t
will consider carefully the different
breeds of dairy cows; breed charac-
teristics; individual selection of the
a osvx,. fud erin Of onmnncittnn
and properties of milk. and many 9TH
er subjects applicable to Dairying,
including meeting market conditions.
Dairy Manufacturing, the second
course given, is designated to give
the student working knowledge of
the manufacturing of dairy products,
such as butter making, cheese max
ing and ice cream making.
Farm Accounting, will be most
important course at this time for the
farmer who has to meet the Income
Tax, as it takes up and deals with this
subject in the very latest manner.
1t is not prepared entirely for the In
come Tax. for it presents three phas-
es of farm accounts. The keeping
of a Farm Record, a most essential
record upon the farm, as farming is

camille. numbering, dairying or any
other business. The Income Tax,
giving the latest applications of this
law to the farmer. and Enterprise
Cost Accounting. which will enable
the farmer to find out just what any
particular undertaking upon the farm
has cost.
Forage Crops will be treated in
series of lessons taking up the pro-
ductiOn, preservation and utilization
of various grasses, legumes and 9TH
er crops suitable for forage. 1t will
consider the adaptability of forage
crops and factors affecting their dis
tributiOn and value for hay, pasture
and silage. The studies outlined
give the farmer the information he
needs for the culture of the plants
adapted to his locality.
Fruit Growing will be considered
in two courses. One a general course
dealing with fruit growing applied to
the tree fruits. taking up the location
of the orchard, planting, cultivation,
for market. The other course will
be on small fruit culture, taking up

Mike was about all that came of the

that she was bound with general
