APPENDIX 



In cases where the student is given credit for work done on 

 the farm during the summer months, as is already the plan 

 followed in a few states, the question presents itself as to what 

 kind of work shall be recognized as worth while. If it is to be 

 connected with the work in field crops some of the problems 

 listed below may be given the student as practicums to be 

 worked out. 



1. To determine the effect of planting legumes on inoculated 

 and non-inoculated soil. 



2. To keep a cost account of one or more crops for one year. 



3. The hybridization of plant types. 



4. The gathering and preservation of material for use in the 

 laboratory. 



When this kind of work is pursued it is advisable that the 

 teacher outline the work to be followed for the year, supervise 

 it during the summer, and require a written report to be sub- 

 mitted at the end of the season.
