There are to (bte, November 22, 1906, 52 signed applications for 

 the winter pouUry cotirse to be compared with iS which had been 

 received last year on the same date. It is certain that we will be 

 nnable to accommodate all who apply. 



The large increase in attendance is due to three contnibutary 

 causes. First, the scarcity and the newness of schools where in- 

 struction in poultry husbandry can be obtained. Second, to the ex- 

 ceptionally attractive opportunities offered to persons who complete 

 a thorough poultry course. Third, to the high regard in which Cor- 

 nell University and the New York State College of Agriculture are 

 held, throughout the country. The wide range of residence of the 

 students who take the wdnter poultry course, confirms the accuracy 

 of the above statement. Of tlie students who have taken the winter- 

 course or who have signed amplications for the present year, there 

 were, in 1905, i,^ from New York State, 4 from other states. In 

 1906, 25 from New York State, 10 from other states. In 1907, }^7 

 signed applications to date from New York State, 15 from other 

 states. The different states represented above are: Conn., i ; D. C, 

 i: Ind., i; la., i; Mass.. 5; Md., 3; Me., i; Minn., 3; Miss., 2;
