DISCUSSION PAPER 



A discussion paper is enclosed with each Reading-Course lesson in order 

 to help the reader to obtain the greatest benefit from the lesson and to give 

 an opportunity for an expression of his opinion. Questions are asked 

 with a view of bringing out the more important points and of stimulating 

 observation and original thought. The answering of these questions is 

 optional, but it is desirable that persons who wish to continue to receive 

 Reading-Course lessons sign and return the discussion paper. This will 

 require two-cent postage, which is the only expense connected with the 

 Reading-Course. Each discussion paper returned will be read over care- 

 fully and will not be quoted. Requests for information on agricultural 

 subjects will be given a personal reply. 



The discussion paper serves other purposes. New readers should 

 indicate on it the series of Reading-Course lessons in which they are 

 particularly interested, so that lessons already published may be sent 

 them. 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. 

 The following series have been projected: the soil, farm crops, 



PLANT-BREEDING, POULTRY, RURAL ENGINEERING, FARM FORESTRY, THE 



horse, dairying, fruit growing, stock feeding. References for ad- 

 vanced study will be given on request. The space below on this page is 

 reserved for correspondence concerning reading-course work and also for 

 names and addresses of any persons likely to be interested.
