Agricultural Train to
Visit McDonough Feb.
13; Hampton Mar. 4.
My Dear Sir:
The Special Educational Train
which is to be operated in Februa
ry and March by the State College
of Agriculture in cooperation
with the various railroads is ex
pected to reach McDonough Feb. 13
about 8 00 a. m. ; Hampton March
4, about 10.00 a. in.
The schedule has been carefully
made up and we will follow it as
closely as possible, tho of course
there may be some variation from
the time indicated. All visitors
should come prepared to stay a
liTtie while longer for the train
may be delayed, but they should
be at the station at the time indi
cated above, for if the train ar
rives promptly as it will in most
instances, those who are late will
miss a part of the benefit which it
is hoped our visit will confer. Wo
expect to stop an hour and a half
at each place. During that time it
is believed that as many as three
or four short, practical talks can
be made and leave a half hour for
tho inspection of the exhibit car.
Detailed information concern
ing the make-up of the train and
the character of the exhibits will
be sent to you shortly. We trust
we may have your co-operation
and that of all the good people of
your vicinity in making the visit
of this Educational Train a succes.
We would like to have you invite
the school teachers and children of
your county to visit the train. We
beliove it would be a day well
spent.
Assuring you that our only de
sire in this matter is to benefit the
farmers whom it is our duty and
pleasure to serve, I am,
Very respectfully,
Andrew N. Soule,
President.
