The ability to he a good worktnan is no longer the great deciding factor in agriculture but the proper combin- ation of hand ancl head has been 'forc- ed upon the practical farmer and he must adapt himself to the conditions and changes if 'he wishes to be reas- onably successful. The agricultural school, at Ridge - town, will offer a course planned to meet the requirements of the prated - cal farmer; science will ,be emphasiz- ed nilly as it is required; mechanics, field crops and animal problems 'tvibl be given a proper share of the time. ;During 116 weeks for two winter sea- sons, a student will have sUffiCient time and opportunity. to gather con- sielerable lanciwleclge of .,fartn practice nd theory combined. , to 0 pen of White Leghorw n., owned a
