THEY DIDN'T WORRY THEN
W. L. WATSON ADVISES
FARMERS ATTEND SHORT '
COURT AT FLORIDA UNIVER
" SITY FROM' JANUARY 6 TO 16
Jacksonville,. Dec. 28. The annual
farmers' short course at the school
of agriculture, University of Florida
will begin ' January 6, and continue to
January 16, 1820.
W. L. Watson, county agricultural
advisor urges all farmers who can
spare the time to take this course.
The training is planned for grown
men and women, who have had some
farm experience. They will be given
Hie. advantage of the knowledge of
the best experts In the state regard
ing the art of farming in Florida.
Purpose of Course
The purpose of the short course Is
best explained in the following quo
tation from the University Record:
;,The purpose of the short courses
in agriculture is . to enable men and
women who do not find it possible
to attend the longer courses to ac
quire a knowledge of some of the
fundamental principles of agriculture
as applied to Florida conditions.. Ag
riculture in the state of Florida is in
a transition stage from the old to the
new. Her rural population is being
increased annually by people from
other states who are not well in
formed concerning agricultural con
ditions here. The college of agricul
ture occupies a very important posi
tion in relation to these people and r" ?u'v

A man in Old Mystic, Conn., has
unearthed a ; couple of old account
books kept: by his father in 1814 to
1841. They indicate that the people
who lived iii that era did not have
to worry much about the high cost
of living. But even these items seem
'extravagant when compared with the
.iame jotted down ; in another book
kept by his grandfather from 1794 to
1808. Here are some of the items
from the more modern books: ;
June 1, 1820 Eight pounds veal at
5 cents per pound, 40 cents; two
pounds butter at 12 1-2 cents per
pound, 25 cents. ' ' ,

24 cents. :

spend only a short time at the col
lege. Four, separate courses have
been arranged to meet the demand.
These are in animal husbandry and
general agriculture, poultry husban
dry,' citrus culture and vegetable
growing, and tractors and general ag
riculture.. y . "
An examination of the schedule of
studies will show the size and na
ture of . the programs that are being
offered this year. The student is
taught by lectures and ' by practical
exercises. He ts required to do
things which will assist" him in plan
ning his farm work and will make
him more expert In his work of stock
raising, dairying, or , fruit . growing.
On account of the extent of the cours
es it is impossible for anyone to take
advantage of all of them during one
session. The student is urged to
to pick the course that will be of
most interest and use to him and to
attend the whole of it.
Number of Courses Offered
Four courses, each lasting ten
days, are offered from January 6 to
16, 1820., They are In animal hus
bandry and general agriculture, poul
try husbandry, citrus culture and
vegetable jgrowing. and tractors and
general agriculture. The courses are
distinctly different and are planned
to meet the needs of different groups
of people in the state. On this ac
count, persons are urged to register
tor one course only. The applica
tions of those desiring to take parts
of two courses will be granted, pro
vided it does not cause any interfer
ence.
There are no entrance examina
tions to the farmers' short, course,
but applicants should be at least 18
years of age. The work has been
planned primarily for men and wom
en of mature age and with some farm
experience. . '
Expenses
Tuition and Fees No tuition or
other fees are charged those attend
ing the short courses.

overfloow ot students at the univer
sity this year, the dormitories are
