Visit to Mt. Tom and State College at Amherst 
(Continued from Page 9.) 
Not only is the college reaching a 
larger number of people than ever 
before through its resident students 
who do work of college grade, but, 
through the work carried on by the 
extension department, several thou- 
sand persons annually are reached 
and definitely assisted. Short win- 
ter and summer courses ‘are con- 
ducted; a farmers’ week and vari- 
ous short term conferences are held 
at the college. For those who are 
unable to come to the college even 
for a short time, lectures, corre- 
spondence courses, field demonstra- 
tions, educational exhibits at fairs, 
and personal expert advice are off- 
ered. In 1910 two ‘‘Better Farming 
Trains’? were operated in Massachu- 
setts; these were equiped largely 
by the agricultural college and 
reached directly about 9,000 people 
in the restricted territory covered. 
Extensive plans for further work of 
these types are already made and 
wait only for the necessary funds to 
be put in operation. 
The agricultural experiment sta- 
tion of Massachusetts is located on 
the college grounds and is a part of 
the institution. Here are con- 
stantly carried on experiments of a 
practical nature, results of which 
are printed and freely distributed 
to those applying for them. The ex- 
periment station also is engaged in 
research for the purpose of discov- 
ering new truths in the realm of 
agricultural science. The inspection 
and analysis of fertilizers and feed 
stuffs for the State is directed by the 
experiment station. By this depart- 
ment as well as by the extension de- 
partment, there are answered yearly 
several thousand letters of inquiry 
concerning the practical problems 
confronting the farmer. 
The Massachusetts Agricultural 
College is located in one of the most 
beautiful spots in New England; 
the necessary expenses for those at- 
tending the institution are ,moder- 
ate; and the vocations for which its 
students are trained are far from 
overcrowded.
