Appendix IV. 
HE Farm Journal for November, 1908, gives the 
followmg condensed list of the short courses 
offered by the various State Agricultural Col- 
leges: 
Specialized knowledge is the keynote of modern farm- 
ing success. Why not give your boy or girl a chance 
to acquire some of this knowledge? In winter there 
will be a let-down of farm activity, and many of Our 
Folks could, if they tried, attend one of the short agri- 
cultural courses provided free by nearly every State. 
In many cases the only expenses are for board, books, 
etc., and the total cost of a few weeks’ course is thus 
very small. Many grown farmers attend these courses; 
there is no age or citizenship limit in most States. 
For catalogues and full information write to any of the 
addresses given, mentioning this book. For instance,
