the Ohio State University belives in
Organization and cooperation in its
broad sense as an effective means
OF accomplishing many things
which would not be easily achieved
ty individual effort. For this rea-
son. the College of Agriculture is
active In assisting in organization
work. both in the matter of farm
bureaus and in the case of pure
seed. livestock, social and other or
carnations. The fact that some
one of these organizations may at
some time in their history assume
N attitude or carry out line OF
action which later proves to have
bees unwise is no matter for seri-
nus concern to the College of Agri-
culture. Every good principle has
its limitations and exceptions. The
fact that some organization some
where does wrong thing is far
from proof that agricultural organi-
cations in general are not very use
fui or even essential favtors in our
progress. 1t should, therefore. be
distinctly understood in the begin
ming that while the College of Ag-
aicuiture believes i'm the possibili-
ties of the county farm bureous and
has helped with their organization
Just AZ IL believes in the possibili-
lies OF the countyfarm bureaus and
-Iubs and has helped in a modest
way toward their organization, it
admits no responsibility for the ac-
lions of either"

Horticulture
Sending apples and other fruits for
identification
The department welcomes the op-
portunity to serve fruit growers in
this way but it is often made a diff
cult task because the specimens sent
in are so few and so imperfect or
Otherwise abnormal.
Please advise your people to OBJ
serve the following suggestions as
gar as possible.
1. Send FIVE or six specimens of
:, variety when possible selecting
those which represent the usual
range OF size, color and form of the
variety. taken from different parts
of the tree.
9. Injuries due to diseases, in
sects or careless handling often de-
stroy or hide peculiarities needed
for identification. Avoid them when
YOU can. II
:. See that stems are not brok-
en- and that the leafy .calyx at bios
sOm end is not destroyed.
I. Wrap in old newspapers with
a slip of paper bearing a separate
number for each variety, when two
or more kinds are packed together.
5. Pack with plenty of paper
to avoid bruising, write the sender's
name on outside of package, and
address to the Department of Hor-
ticuiture. college of Agriculture.
Lexington. Ky.
s. Send by same mail letter
giving any available information as
TO character of soil age of tree.
where purchased, local name, il
any. etc.
Homo Economics
II seems wise at this time to
make some changes in the arrenge-
ment and subject matter of the
projects, and also to add
one new project These projects
will be designated by the following
names Beginning, Elementary /
and Advanced Sewing and Home
Crafts. This material will appear
in mimeographed form soon, but
will later. with additional illustra-
lions be printed in bulletin form. /
II is the purpose of this work TO
better qualify the girl TO clOthe her
self in a neat. economical but at
tractive way; and also to prepare
her to assist in clothing the family.
Il il our desire to create an appre-
citation OF well made garments and
10 stimulate the girls pride so she
will always appear neatly and mod
estly dressed.
A series of outlines for girls club
work in food projects is being
planned. and as soon as completed
viii be sent out TO the clubs. They
will be mimeographed for the pres
emit. but will probably appear later
