Agriculture, whose advice as to subject matter and contributors 

 has been invaluable ; the members of the staff of the college — 

 always ready to render a loyal service to the Institute Bureau; 

 and our own corps of institute and farm bureau workers, to all of 

 whom the compiler records his appreciation and thanks. 



If this publication will help to make good the oft-abused and 

 misquoted lines of Swift on the title page, it will have accom- 

 plished its purpose and be more than an adequate reward for the 

 efforts of all those who have had to do with its make-up. 



Edward van Alstyne, 

 Director of Farmers' Instituies.
