THE CORNELL READING-COURSE FOR THE FARM 



This course aims to place before its members consecutive lessons on 

 important branches of farming. Lessons on the same general subject are 

 grouped in a series and given consecutive serial numbers. Some of these 

 series already contain a number of lessons. Reading-Course Lessons for 

 the Farm are published every month and in this way the number in all 

 the series is gradually increased. New series are started from time to 

 time. On the last page of this lesson is given a list of present series 

 together with available lessons in each. 



Reading-course members who have signified their desire to study a 

 particular series have been supplied with the first lesson of the series and, 

 on the return of the discussion papers, with such subsequent lessons as 

 are available. Those who have had all of the lessons in any series and who 

 desire to study the subject further are supplied with Cornell University 

 Experiment Station bulletins, if appropriate ones are available, and are 

 referred to other sources of information. 



Reading-course lessons have been provided to meet the needs of persons 

 who desire a course of study at home. Points in the lesson not thoroughly 

 understood should be mentioned on the discussion paper and questions 

 asked. We have been much pleased at the study and thought shown by 

 the questions and answers some readers have returned on discussion 

 papers, and feel sure that such readers get the most benefit from the 

 lessons. If you wish to begin a series of lessons, advise us on the dis- 

 cussion paper herewith. It is the only way for us to know what lessons 

 to send you. 



READING-COURSE CLUBS 



The study of the lessons may be fiirthered by groups of fanners and their 

 families meeting together in simple infonnal organizations known as 

 reading clubs. Where these clubs have been tried, good results have 

 been secured. These organizations in themselves have been a means of 

 distributing information, bringing to light valuable local experience, and 

 arousing an interest in improved agriculture. The supervisors of the 

 Cornell Reading-Courses are very glad to cooperate in starting and con- 

 ducting such groups. Would you be interested in having in your com- 

 munity a good, live reading-course club? By means of the Cornell 

 Reading-Course lessons, interesting programs can be prepared for study 

 clubs. Suggestions on how to start a club may be obtained by addressing 

 The Cornell Reading-Course for the Farm, College of Agriculture, Ithaca,
