FREE SCHOLARSHIPS AT PURDUE AVAILABLE

Chance For Agricultural Students to Earn Part of Expenses in Grain Judging Contest. Prospective Purdue students in the school of agriculture may pay part of their expenses for the coming year by winning one of the four premiums given to the winners of the annual live stock and grain judging contest to be held at the state fair, Tuesday, Sept. 7th. The state board of agriculture offers four scholarships in Purdue school of agriculture, either for the regular four year courses or in the eight weeks’ winter course. The first is for $100; the second is for $75; the third for SSO and the fourth for $25. This is an opportunity for Indiana boys between the ages of 16 and 20 years, inclusive, and who have never been enrolled in any regular course in any school of agriculture, not only to win a substantial premium but also a chance view the animals from the inside of the arena in the coliseum as they are being judged by the regular judges. Every prospective Purdue student in the school of agriculture should make immediate application for entrance in this contest. Whether or not a premium is won, the experience gained will be invaluable to one starting out in the study of agriculture. Write to Mr. Chas. Downing, Secretary of the State Board of Agriculture, Indianapolis, Ind., at once for entry blanks and premium list which explains the contest in full.
