/ TEN DAY SHORT GOURSE FORFARMERS JUARY 1222 The College of Agriculture of the University of Florida, at Gainesville, announces a short ten-day course for farmers, be-} ginning Tuesday morning J:mu-l ary 12, 1915, and closing Friday, January 22, 1915. This course is especially plan- ned for busy farmers of all ages who wish to add scientific prin- ciples to their working knowl- edge of farming: for young men who are just berfnning work up- on faris and desire to learn the fundamental truths of agricul- ture: and for colonists or new comers to the state, who wish to acquaint , themselves rapidly with Florida farm conditions. What it Includes. The course includes lectures, | laboratory and field work for cight to ten hours cvery day, with some illustrated leciures aty night, upon all the subjects that! belong to modern agriculturs instruction. Students are per- | mitted to select ~uidies in such! lines as they preier, giving spec- | il attention to cither we farming, Lorticulture, or ani hushandry i Short courses of this kind bave been a great aid in man tates toward bringing together | tiie colleges of agricu'ture and the farmers of the states for mu- tual benefit. ‘L here is no better opportunity in Ilorida for sccur- ing the greatest possible amounit of agricultural information in the shortest possible space of time. Many farmers who have attend- ed the course in previous years say they were given enough con- densed facts in two weeks to help them in their work for many months. It is hardly like- Iy that any citizen of Florida whao desires to get in touch with the latest sources of agricultur- al information could scecure as large results from such low cost in time and money as by attend- o this short course. The av- crage fa who has been plod- ding ; in beaten ruts cannot afford to miss the stimulus and the new ideas that he could se- cure on this occasion. Such in formation, when properly util- tized, will assist farmers to be more prosperous and more sue- cessful than ever before. Tt s an investment in mental power that cannot be taken away in the future. Florida Soil Conditions and Crops. Soil conditions and crops in many parts of the state are en- tirely different from any other section of the United ~ States, hence it is very important in Florida to secure first-hand in formation from an institution like! the college of agriculture. All the laboratory equipment, the pure-bred ive stock and demon- stration fields and gardens which are located at the university will be available for instruction in this short course. Trips of in- specition will be made to large truck and stock farms in the vi- cinity of the university, and a! number of successful farmers in} various lines from different parts of the state will lecture to the classes, for the purpose of ex- plaining their methods in detail. The expenses for the course are very low. There are no age limits and no educational re- quirements for entrance. Tui- tion is free. Board and room can be secured by a limited num- ber in the university dormitories at $3.50 per week. The dormi- tory rooms are supplied with furniture, but students must bring their own bedding. Board can be secured at private houses in Gainesville for $4 to $5 per week. Books and ‘incidentials expenses will cost from 83 to $10 during the course. This makes the total necessary ex- penses range between $10 and $15 for the entire term, in addi- tion to the railroad fare. Member of Boy's Corn Club This course will be open to the members of the boys' corn clubs in Florida and some of them have been awarded schol- arships by the various counties, which will take care of their expenses. Boarding accommo- dations for the boys under six teen vears of age have been pledged by the ministers of the churches of Gainesville in the homes of church members. The regular schedule of the course will begin «early Tuesd morning, January ‘12! ° It is urg- that all students arrange to reach Gainesville during the day of Monday, January 11, so as to gve them time to arrange for with the university officers. The closing lectures on Friday, SRR -|irom home, every day filled with a){%"lrrigation, Bacteriology and i rofitable and useful.
