PRACTICAL COURSES IN '
AGRICULTURE FOR
FARMERS.
Dean C. B. Williams says that
active arrangements are toeing
made to put in final shape the
short course in agriculture for
farmers that are to start on Octo
ber 30 at the State College, Ral
eigh, and continue few: sixteen
weeks. These courses have been
especially designed to give those
who come to the College for
this short practical instruction, i
information along different lines ;
of farming practiced in the State
that may be put into use on the
home farm by those who come.
The early farming in North
Carolina, under pioneer condi
tions of society, was a compar
atfvely simple operation, but in
this day and time, as farming has
become a more complex and
commercial enterprise and when
crops are raised on a large scale
for c ompetition in world mar
kets, the well-informed and alert
farmer, other things being equal,
is the one who is going to make
the most out of his farming
operations. The courses, as
arranged, will no doubt greatly
aid those taking them to become
more modern and business like
in their farmiu>> ojvitifio h
they could otherwise ;? ^ibly
have been.
Opportunity will be afforded
to give the busy men oo the
farm, both old and young, to
spend two to four months at the
College, studying the different
branches of farming they have
especial in, and do so at a season
of the year when work on the
farm is least pressing. Those
who come witf be bremght in
close personal touch with the
interest of loose engaged in
fe ming. Those attending the
course should become better
fitted for taking up their life
work by having secured a better
and more intimate view of agri
culture in general and a higher
efficiency and knowledge in
their chosen fields of farming.
Courses are to be offered in
field crops, in live stock, indud
ing dairying, horticulture and in
poultry. Arrangements have
been made whereby special lec
teres on different phases of ag
riculture will be given by the
different specialists of the Col*
lege. Experiment Station a nrt
Extension Service.
Many farmers of this county
y and of other counties in the
' State should jsake every effort
to arrange Jheir farm work so
that they can avail themselves
of this splendid opportunity of
visiting tie College and securing
practical mlonnatjbn that is to

been arranged especially for the
busy farmers of the State.
