DISCUSSION-PAPER ON FARMERS' READING-COURSE 



BULLETIN NO. 45. 



A Discussion-paper is sent out with each Bulletin of the Reading- 

 Course for Farmers for two reasons : ( i ) We should like to have your 

 ideas on the subjects. On some of the points you have probably had 

 experience that will be interesting and valuable to us. No matter what 

 the Biilletin says, if you have a different opinion on any of the sub- 

 .jects, do not hesitate to state it on this paper and give your reasons. 

 (2) We should like you to use this paper on which to ask us questions. 

 If there are any points which the Bulletin has not made clear or if there 

 are any problems in your farming, whether on these subjects or others, 

 on which you think we may be able to help you, write to us on this 

 paper.

 us this Discussion-paper, zchich will be ackn.oivledgment of the receipt of 

 this Bulletin. This paper will not be returned to you, but we shall 

 look it over as carefully as we would a personal letter, and write to you 

 if there are any points about which correspondence is desirable. You 

 may consider this Discussion-paper, then, as a personal letter to us. It 

 will be treated as such, and under no circumstances will you be quoted.

 postage.
