ASSISTANCE FROM THE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE The Editors j|HE district superintendents will each receive a copy of this leaflet, in order that they may learn what material is available from the College. It will be seen that the contests have been classified under three general heads: i. The crop contests that are based merely on the quality of the product without relation to the economic value of the crop. This group should be open to both boys and girls up to the age of sixteen. In this group are included contests with corn, potatoes, vegetables, flowers, and fruit trees. 2. The crop contests that are based on the economic value of the crop as well as on the quality of the product. Probably this group will be best suited to boys between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one. In this group are included contests with corn, potatoes, oats, clover, vegetables, and small fruits. Note especially that before starting a contest in this group the charges for labor must be standardized. (Page 1017.) 3. The contests especially designed for girls. In this group will be found two classes, divided according to the ages of the contestants. Each class contains contests in bread-making, canning, jelly-making, and sewing. We hope that live-stock contests will be conducted in the State in the future. Boys and girls take much interest in the care of calves, lambs, and poultry. Material for such contests will be published another year. The contests as outlined should not be considered as standard in every particular. The district superintendent should modify them so as to suit the conditions of his district, but it is highly advisable that the fundamental principles involved shall be incorporated in all contests held in
