DISCUSSION PAPER 



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

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

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

 ing important points in the lesson. An expression of the reader's experi- 

 ence or opinion is one of the best ways of converting into working knowledge 

 what has been read. Each discussion paper filled out and returned will be 

 read carefully and a personal reply will be made if information is requested. 



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, PLANT-BREEDING, VEGETABLE-GARDENING. 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 

 receive the other lessons in this series should therefore sign and return this 

 discussion paper whether the questions are answered or not. The Reading- 

 Course will endeavor to aid in the solution of farm problems and in the 

 organization of study 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, 1911, at the post office at Ithaca, New York
