Why Not Take a Short Course in Agriculture This Winter?
-- V1FKUF1 fl CIT-CCUlfF ICYf IF/FMNG B<W TO PRUNE. |
THE two things moat net ded by the great majority of our young farmers in the South are: (l)a working knowledge of the funda
nu ntal principles of agricultural science at d (2) an appreciative familiarity with the details of modern farm work. B >th of
th,s any earnest, energetic boy can get, in large measure, at the agricultural short courses given by the various A. & M. Col
lege s of the S nth. The Mtssitsippi A. <£ M. College held its short course in the summer, but practically every other Southern agri
cultural college will have one or more short courses for farmers and farmer boys the first of next year.
For the young man who can not take a full college course, and for the grown-up farmer who can spare a little time from his
farm work these special courses offer the very best chance for the acquisition of a fair knowledge of the elementary principles on
which good farming is based, and also a splendid chance to learn how to do a number of the important things on the farm of which
moat S whern fumnrs are us fortunately ignorant. A little later we shall publish a brief statement from each of the agricultural
colh g, s tn our t« rntory as to the courses they offer and the advantages of taking these courses. Right now we only wish to urge
every farmer b y and every grown farmer who can spare a few weeks’ time and who is still willing to learn—to prepare to devote
a little time ne xt J mu ary to the study of his life work. It will be one of the best investments he ever made, and it will be a won
derfully interesting and pleasant experience.
The cost is small, the opportunity great. We have a thousand readers who can and should take these courses. Why will
you not be one of them ? Begin to get ready right jiow.
