 is a bureau of information, of which Prof. G. A. Bricker of the College of 

 Agriculture is director, and the professors in charge of agricultural education

 work as laborers on the farm for a week, while the other squad will attend 

 classes. At the end of each week, the squads will interchange and in that 

 way alternate weeks will be devoted to farm work and to study. The course 

 will be completed in two sessions. These boys will receive from 75 cents to $1
