Annual Short Course At Purdue Week of January 14.

The Farmers' annual Short Course 'will be held at Purdue beginning Jan. 14 and extending through Jan- ' uary 18. This is chosen as about the time when the farmers and their wives can get away for a few days. , These courses have proven very popular with Indiana people in the past because of the large amount of practical information crammed in five days. Only timely subjects of mutual interests are discussed and these are being handled so as to give the classes the maximum of instruction in the short time available. The attendance has been running well over a thousand each year and in order to avoid confusion, separate courses of instruction are arranged. Complete and separate schedules for the entire week are being arranged to study dairying, animal husbandry, poultry, horticulture, soils and crops and home economics with special courses for the boys and girls. You may follow any one course through the entire week or browse at will among all of them. - rr The program is especially good this year, because a special effort has been made to get' the best men possible for recommending wartime measures to Indiana farmers. Speakers of national repute, in their respective lines, have been secured and will, no doubt, have some helpful suggestions. The State Corn Show is held in connection with this Short Course and the Indiana Corn Grower’s Association meets on Wednesday of that week. This should be the place to get correct information on the corn situation in Indiana and some good recommendation for the next crop. ' If you can not attend all week, fill your machine and drive down for a day. Tuesday is keep day, Wednesday is corn day and Thursday will be of special interest to Dairymen, Livestock men and the ladies. Complete programs may be had for the Agricultural Extension Department of Purdue University or information will be given at the County Superintendent’s oifice. All instruction is free and special arrangements are made to furnish meals and lodging at reasonable prices. « A
