In order to aid the great majority of farm boys and girls who do not have the time nor money to take a full college course, the college has inaugurated a system of short courses. The largest of these is the two weeks' winter course at Ames. About 700 farmers attend this annually, and If one of them has ever gone away feeling that his time was wasted he has kept exceedingly quiet about It. In order to extend this work still further, the extension department four years ago commenced holding local short courses of" one week each at various places throughout the state. The demand for these short courses has become so great that the department can not begin to satisfy all requests with the men and funds now available.
