DISCUSSION PAPER 



A supplement called a discussion paper is sent with each Reading- 

 Course lesson with a view of assisting the reader to examine and improve 

 his methods of farming. The discussion paper also aids in review- 

 ing important points in the lesson. The answering of the questions is 

 optional, but a majority of readers accept this opportunity for additional 

 work. An expression of the reader's experience or opinion is one of the 

 best ways of converting into working knowledge what has been read. 



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. 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. Persons who wish 

 to continue to receive Reading-Course lessons should sign and return the 

 discussion paper sent with each lesson. Each discussion paper returned 

 will be read over carefully and a personal reply will be made when help 

 can be given. The Reading-Course will endeavor to aid in the solution 

 of farm problems and in the organization of Reading-Course clubs, and 

 to give references for advanced study. 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 in the course. 



Published semi-monthly throughout the year by the New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell 

 University. Entered as second-class matter October 13, 191 r, at the post office at Ithaca, N. Y., under 

 the Act of Congress of July 16, 1894.
