To produce, abundantly, to conserve carefully, to utilize wisely in the broadest sense are our methods. Our soldiers must be fed and equipped, likewise our allies and ourselves. Can there be greater privilege than the opportunity to help? If Farm and Home Week will give encouragement for our work if it will make possible greater results from our efforts, if it will give inspira- tion for our task, it will achieve its purpose. You are welcome at your institution, the Agricultural College. Come often. Use it. Its ambition, now and always, is to serve The associations that meet at the College during the week are cordially welcome. The afternoon programs and some of the mornings’ work are under their direction. Farm bureau officers, institute officers, members Grange and the Farmers’ Union are especially invited to be present and to attend the special conferences arranged for them. There are no fees for the week, and the cost to each one will be only his traveling and living expenses, all of which are small. Board and rooms may be found through the assistance of the Y. M C A Meals also may be had in the cafeteria at the College. On arriving in Man- hattan it is best to go directly to the Y. M. C. A. building, located on the TT *t f Eleventh and Fremont streets, for room assignments. You should then come to the College to register. Men and boys register in room 34, Main Building, and women and girls in room 35 of the same building. Every one should register and receive a program. s Please read the program carefully so that you will know exactly what to do every day In this way no time will be lost. If you select the work which you prefer and follow it throughout the week, you will be well satisfied with results. Every class and every session will bejn on schedule time. & Further information will be furnished gladly. EDWARD C. JOHNSON, Dearly Division of College Extension.

All numbers in each group are arranged by days. The agricultural programs are so planned that each one may get all numbers in two differ- ent subjects, such as agronomy and dairying, poultry and animal hus- bandry, etc. Each one will be much more satisfied with the week’s work if he pursues only two subjects. The general assemblies in the audi- torium at eleven o’clock in the morning and the evening programs are for all men and women, boys and girls. In the afternoons programs are conducted by the associations which are special guests during the week, and each one should attend what he prefers.

The exhibition of corn and other grains conducted by the Kansas Crop Improvement Association is an annual affair. No cash prizes are offered this year, but a special ribbon will be awarded each prize winner who ex- hibits samples of corn or sorghums.

All who take pride in the quality of the crops they raise, whether they are crop breeders, seedsmen or general farmers, should bring exhibits. RULES. 1. Crops may be exhibited free by all members of the Kansas Crop Improvement Association. An exhibit fee of 25 cents will be charged all others.

Only grain grown in Kansas during the season of 1917 may compete. 3. All exhibits must be delivered to the Kansas Crop Improvement Association, Manhattan, Kan., care of B. S.
