DISCUSSION PAPER 



A discussion paper is sent with each reading course lesson in order to 

 assist the reader in studying the most important points. The discussion 

 paper also encourages thought, observation, and self-expression. Each 

 discussion paper filled out and returned will be read carefully, and a 

 personal reply will be made if further information or references for 

 advanced reading are desired. Practical suggestions on farm problems 

 will be sent gladly. 



New readers should enroll in one or more of the following series of 

 reading course lessons; the soil, poultry, rural engineering, farm 



FORESTRY, THE HORSE, DAIRYING, FRUIT GROWING, FARM CROPS, STOCK 

 FEEDING, VEGETABLE GARDENING, PLANT BREEDING, INSECT, COUNTRY 



LIFE. The first lesson in each series desired is sent on enrollment, and 

 subsequent lessons are sent, one at a time, on the return of discussion 

 papers. Therefore, in order to receive the other lessons in this series, readers 

 shoidd sign and return this discussion paper, whether the questions are 

 answered or not. By means of reading course lessons, study clubs may 

 be promoted, which may become important factors in community welfare. 

 Assistance will be given in organizing and conducting clubs. The space 

 below on this page is reserved for correspondence concerning reading course 

 work, and also for names and addresses of any residents of New York State 

 likely to become interested in the Cornell Reading Course for the Farm.
