The veterans gather in small meeting halls to re- ceive instruction. The farms themselves are not fi- nanced by the VA, Haag explained, any loans and aid needed for them being supplied through other agencies. The VA supplies funds for the University to offer the exten- ion courses only, he said. Fifteen of the students are dis- ukled and receive compensation on that score, but not for running a farm, he said. Each two weeks the extension service teacher makes a round of h farm, taking notes on pro- Jress and giving suggestions, fur- ther adding to the regular seminars held in town. E. E. Lincoln, VA regional direc- said the program was meeting with great success, as evidenced in the number of veterans avaiiing themselves to the unusual program. He expected, however, that with spring a few farmers might drop‘ the program, because of illness, per- sonal reasons, or by reaching a de- cision that the particular type ot farming chosen wasn't in his field.
