out and that personnel to take
part in the course had been chos
en.
These plant growers came from
all over the state, said Brisfm,
and all phases of the nursery bus
iness are to be covered.
Wednesday morning was devoted
to the study of proriagation prob

“problems in seed germination, and
results of recent tests with diffi
cult seeds;’’ “plant hormones;” and
a special panel discussion with
questions and answers on propaga
tion methods.

over to plant physiology and path
ology with lectures dealing with
the uses of chemicals in nursery
operation, plant diseases and ac
tions which take place inside the
plant. '' '/ ' |
On Thursday afternoon, the en

the insect problems of plant grow
ing. This will-include such subjects
as contrcui of insects, available in
secticides, and pests likely to be
encountered in spraying.
A general program on Friday
will end the course at which time
fertilization, irrigation, and other
broad topics will be discussed.
Brison said further that the

of covering those topics most need

D. E. Lindstrom
Dr. David E. Llndatrom,
profeanor of Rural Sociology
at ilia University of Illinois,
discussed tha significant rural
ilia trends in America today,
before the College Station Ki
wanis Club at Us noon lunch
eon Tuesday.
Dr. tilhdsirom Is on the campus
an one bf&the principal speakers
on the program of the fourth an?
nual Rural Church Conference.
Dr. Lindstrom outlined five' prin
cipal rurhl life trends in American
life? today. These included the
spreading of urban influences; de
creasing farm population and in
creasing commercialization of ag
riculture; changing neighborhood,
community, and organizational life;
transition in rural values; and
changing social controls.
In discussing these trends the
speaker emphasized the fact that
any sound rural program should
include a recognition of the divine
in man, the importance and worth
of the' individual, true loyalty to
ihe democratic state or society,
emphasis upon the dignity of la
bor, and the necessity for sacri-
fice. r
“Our modern agrarian philoso
phy”, D)r. Lindstrom concluded,
“must be developed on the basis
of knowledge and willingness to
produce and market efficiently,
learning how to make the home a
modern consuming center, nurtur
ing the cultural arts, developing a
meaningful community life, work
ing for family owner-operation of
the production enterprise, and hav
ing basic concern for man, land,
and the Christian way of life.’’ •
