The generous offer of the Frisco Railroad of forty-five scholarships of $100 each to the short winter course in Agriculture at the University of Missouri next winter affordsa rare opportunity for some of the people living in the Frisco territory to secure much valuable instruction in agricul- ture at the Agricultural College with- out any cost to them whatever. The Frisco proposes to award one of these | scholarships in each county in Mis-| souri through which their lines ex- | {tends to the man or boy sixteen years old or over who grows and exhibits | the best ten ears in his county) this year. These scholarships will | |pay the entire term of fourteen weeks | beginning November Ist, 1910. The short winter course teaches | men and boys how to farm better. | Practical instruction is given in Soil | Fertility, Farm Crops, Animal Breed- ing, Stock Judging, Veterinary Sci- | ence, Feeding of Livestock, Dairy- | ing, Horticulture, Farm Buildings, Machinery, Poultry Farming and other lines of farm work. You will} | gain much valuable information that | jyou can put into practice every day jon the farm—information that not your neighbor as well by observation | j of your results. The Frisco Railroad, jafter carefully investigating the work | |done at the Agricultural College, be- | lieves it can well afford to send farm- ers along its lines to the College to| make careful study of modern meth- \ods of Agriculture. Why not take ad- vantage of the railroad’s generous offer and prepare yourself to select {and grow the best corn, to know the |best types of cattle, horses, sheep and swine, to know how to feed the dairy cow to make her produce the| most milk, to know how to cultivate | and spray the orchard to make it pro-| duce the most, to know how to cure | hog cholera, and to prevent the | rains. | spread of this disease—in short, to| farm life both ina remunerative as well as enjoyable way. | The business of good farming is taught at the Agricultural College every year to hundreds of the bright- est and most up-to-date farmer boys of Missouri. Here are the opinions of some who have taken the course. Glen O. Yoder of Holden said: ‘The work has indeed been profitable to me. I believe that each dollar I have spent will be at least ten dollars to me within a few years.’’ Grant H. Morthland of Molino said: ‘I believe that every day was worth the price of the whole term in dollars and cents.” H. B. Herring of Forest Green said: “This course, I believe will be worth thousands of dollars to me in after life and to my neighbors.”’ Why not ally yourself with these young men who are to be the leading farmers of Missouri in a few years? It is well'to enter the Frisco con- test simply to learn how to select! ;corn for shows and to learn how to | prepare the seed bed, to plant and to cultivate. The enthusiasm which you will gain by being in the contest will | be a great incentive for better farm- ling and more knowledge for the un- | derlying principles of this noble pro- fession. Join the contest, send your name, age and address to the Agricultural College, plant some good corn and do your best to win the scholarship in your county. If you want more infor- mation on corn’ growing ask for a bulletin on this subject. For rules governing the contest and any other information concern- ing the contest address, C. B.
