Expert orchardists with a general knowledge of farming live stock, farm mnrchinery and field crops are needed in Oregon horticulture. A special course of one year in horticul ture will be offered the men and wo men of the State at the Agricultural College beginning next September. Those who cannot stay the full year from September on are welcome to come and stay as long as they can. We need women trained in agricul ture," says C. L. Lewis, chief of the horticultural division, "to take the place of men who have gone into the war. Women have taken the regular work in horticulture and also special work in pruning and packing schools. They handle the work well and make good when they go out to the orchards It is interesting to note that some of the best orchards in Oregon today are managed by women." This new trade course takes the place of the former two-year vocation al course. Men and women taking it will be given laboratory work and held practice, with necessary instruc tion and demonstration. They will spend entire half days in the orchards of Corvallis and viciinity, pruning, spraying, harvesting grading and packing, all under expert direction Work will likewise be given in bud ding, grafting, propping, wiring and other modern orchard arts required in handling an orchard successfully 1 t t A What do you really know about the Kaiser, "The Mad Dpg of Europe,"?
