It is an established fact that the farm can no longer be run success? fully In the old time haphazard fashion. Science and brains skilful? ly applied to farming so increases the yield and improve its quality as to make some knowledge of the under? lying principles of scientific farming essential to the farmer of today. While it is realized that the four year course is none too long to give a boy the foundation which will insure success in farming, it is also clearly seen that there are many practical farm? ers who have neither the time nor the means to devote four years to a col? lege course and who would be great? ly benefited by a few weeks spent at college. To meet such a demand the I college offers a short course of four Weeks during the month of January. This course In agriculture is a prac? tical Course In farming and is meant for farmers. It would aid the man Who wants to farm on a business ba? sis and v ho desires to get larger re? turns for his labor.
