Agricultural Students Have Chance to Win Fine Prizes.

Prospective Purdue students 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. sth, 1916. The state board of agriculture offers scholarships in the Purdue school of agriculture, either for the regular four weeks’ course or in the eight weeks’ winter course. 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 of agriculture, not only to win a substantial premium but also a chance to view the animals from the inside of the arena in the coliseum as they are judged by the regular judges. Every prospective Purdue student of agriculture should make immediate application for entrance in the contest. Whether or not a premium is wen, the experience gained will be invaluable to one starting out into the study of agriculture. By writing to Charles Downing, secretary of tho state board of agriculture, Indianapolis, an applicant may obtain entry blanks and a premium list which explains the contest in full. •
