340 Reading-Course for Farmers. 



These Bulletins can not be sent to persons who reside outside 

 OF the State of New York, as both courses are supported by a 

 State appropriation. 



This Bulletin calls our attention to the necessity of beginning our 

 reading and study of agriculture at once. It attempts to point out the 

 wisdom of organizing Farmers' Reading-Clubs and of perfecting those 

 clubs already organized. It suggests that the Grange offers an effective 

 starting point for such organizations. It insists that the young farmer 

 is a vital part of the permanent success of the Club. Then, organize 

 now. Below is a Roster to be filled out and returned so that we may 

 correspond with the right parties. 



If you are unable to organize a club, then in order that we may 

 know who are interested readers, write out and send to us your opinion 

 of the points suggested. For instance : 



Do the most successful farmers in your neighborhood read the 

 Bulletins? 



Do the young farmers take an interest in the agricultural affairs of 

 the place? If not, then why? 



Will you kindly send us the names of those young men who might 

 be interested but who are not regular readers?
