The present method of disseminating technical and practical information to the com growers of the state will l>e| cl anged so that the corn school will either be embraced in a two weeks’ short course in corn study, or will be incorporated into the system of the agricultural course. A committee on the future of the com school has been appointed, and it is now wrestling with resolutions which will decide the future of the com school. For three years the com school has been conducted independently of the regular work of the university, but the authorities believe that it would be Ivetter for the work if it were included in the regular course for farmers. If such arrangements are made, it is likely tliat the farmers of the state will he invited annually to spend two weeks at the university ns students.
