The course heretofore offered as the FARMERS' SHORT COURSE will

be discontinued. In its place will be offered, beginning with the fall term of 1891, a course covering two years, having in each term an agricultural .specialty, with other subjects selected from the preparatory and college courses. Students who wish to enter this course must pass good examinations in the English branches usually taught in the common schools, or must' present a County Superintendent's certificate of examination equal to that required for a second grade teacher's certificate. Students in this course should not be less than eighteen years of of age. It is confidently hoped that many persons who wish training in agricultural science but cannot give time for a full course will avail themselves of this opportunity. A special fee of $5.00 per term will be charged in addition to the other University fees.
