Lectures Here to Farmers, Feb. 8 and 9

Can an educator do as good work.
will he do as honest work-wjll it
nave the same standing and value
with those whom it should benefit If
ne works for corporation as it would
have If he worked for college? This
question excited some very strong
feeling at the time that Prof Perry G.
Holden quit his position as professor,
Vlce-dean and head of all extension
work of the Agricultural College of
Ames, Ia, to take a position as head
OF the extension department of a large
corporation.
Whatever the merits of the question
Mr.. Holden is undoubtedly an able
man and has developed a wonderful
organization. He is cooperating with
the local committee in furnishing the
program for the corn show to be held
here Feb. and 8, and has placed his
services at their disposal.
He has had long experience at this
work, having taught at Michigan State
after graduating from it, professor of
agronomy at Illinois and later at Iowa
where he had charge of all extension
work from 1906 to 1912 1t was while
ne was here that he had charge of the
first railway train which ever toured
the state on rural extension work.
This system of instruction was orig
mated and this particular train was
arranged by Henry Wallace, editor of
Wallaces Farmer, and personal friend
of Mr.. Holden
Mr.. Holden's plan for handling
meetings at present is to allow all pre-
llminary arrangements for his part in
the programs to be completed by

five DAYS INTENSIVE
WORK PROGRAM FOR
PURDUE SHORT COURSE

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Jan. 3.-Five
days of intensive instruction in agri-
cultural subjects have been planned
for the annual farmers short course,
which will be given at Purdue univer-
sity, Jan. 10 to IA. Educators ar
ranging the program predict it will be
the most practical short course in the
history of the institution. Farm men
and women from all parts of the state
are expected to take advantage of
the course of instruction.
In addition to the regular short
course the state corn show will be
held and the annual Purdue apple
show will be in progress at the same
time. The state show of girls sew
ing, baking and canning club products
will be held during the short course.
There will be several lecturers
from the university and a large num-
Der of successful farmers and stock
men will deliver addresses and give
instruction. Practically all of them
will illustrate their points by actual
demonstrations so that the farmers
and farm women attending may learn
to do the same thing.
Butchering, cutting up of meat, cur
ing it and canning it will be one of
the features. The first part will be
done by e. K. Augustus, representa-
tive of local packing concern. Dem
onstrations will be given as to the
proper method of sticking a hog so
that it will bleed out and then how
to cut it UP in the easiest and quickest
way.
Mrs. Morton Fordice, who lives on
farm near Russelville, Putnam
county, will demonstrate the canning
of meat so that the surplus of fresh
pork may be saved in this manner
Men will be taught how to judge
corn, how to judge dairy and beef
cattle, hogs and poultry by actually
doing the work themselves with the
assistance of competent instructors
The women will have an opportu-
nifty to study millinery work, the pre-
paration of school lunches and the
mending of clothes.
In addition to the subjects mention
ed it is planned to have a number of
other demonstrations which will be
useful to persons living in rural COM
munities.
