} The laboratory work will have two phases. The first phase will
` consist of iield t1·ips to successful and practical farms for the pur-
pose of studying their organization in detail. These trips serve to
bring out the personal element so essential in good farming and serve
to reinforce and vitalize the truths of scientidc agriculture as learned
in the various other lectu1·e and laboratory classes. The second phase »
will consist of practice work in farm accounts, including accounts
_ of single crop or live stock enterprises and complete accounts on all
l of the farm enterprises. Professor G. \V. Forster. ,,,

The subject of spraying as related to vegetable gardening. will be  
` given attention in the lectures, and practice in the making and appli· lj
f cation of sprays will occupy a portion of the laboratory periods.  
This midsummer session will provide an unusual opportunity to  
study many phases of vegetable gardening that cannot be observed
so favorably during the usual college terms, and particular emphasis
will therefore be placed upon the laboratory and field exercises. As- `
sistant Professor Olney.
