That was a prediction of the editor of The Michigan Farmer in 1914 after 900 farmers and wives attended the first Farmers' Week program at Michigan Agricultural College. Accurate Prediction No editor ever made a more accurate prediction. For throughout the 39 years since that blustery March week, rural people of Michigan have considered Farmers' Week the number one winter educational event for agriculture. For two years immediately following World War II, when the campus was over-crowded with students in M.S.C.'s facilities, limited F a r m e r s' no Week was held. But since 1948 the event has grown in size and at tendance.

Hall, one of the newer buildings on the campus. Today it takes many buildings, all the auditoriums, and even the concourse beneath Macklin Field Stadium to handle exhibits, demonstrations and meetings. Eisenhower, Philbrick to Speak Headline speakers for the 1953 Farm ers' Week, January 26 to 31, include Pres. Milton Eisenhower of Pennsylvania State College and Herbert Philbrick, noted F.B.I, agent who exposed 11 Com munists in New York. Michigan State College students will take part in some of the general sessions programs. Farmers' Week has become more than a program of the Cooperative Extension Service—it's extended even beyond the Schools of Agriculture and Home Eco nomics. Many departments at Michigan State aid materially in making Michigan the State's Farmers' Week probably largest of the many held at Land-Grant Colleges. Over 35 Farm Groups to Attend Educational meetings, exhibits and demonstrations are plentiful; livestock contests hold great interest; more than 35 state associations of farm organiz ations hold annual meetings during the week. Programs giving complete information are available from county agricultural agents or from the School of Agriculture at Michigan State College. 4 . . . . THE RECORD MSC Given $10,000 To Continue Driver Course Michigan State has received a second check for $10,000 from the Michigan Inter-Industry Highway Safety Commit tee to continue its driver education pro gram for adults and high school students. To date the program, under the direc tion of Prof. Leslie R. Silvernale, aims at reaching 350 Michigan high schools offering driver training courses; a credit course has been instituted at M.S.C. to train education students, driving teachers and other adults; and on-campus work shops are held through the year to study driver education problems. The work is part of the college's devel opment of an over-all safety education program, features of which are the truck training driver and school bus driver courses which have been operated at the Kellogg Center for Continuing Education for the past year. The gift was received by President John A. Hannah from James Mason, chairman of the safety committee. the TREE MOVERS: Approximately 100 people attending second annual Landscape Gardeners Confer ence held at Kellogg Center for Continuing Education last month watched the modern method of trans planting a good sized tree.

Will Major in Speech Enrolling in the Basic College, as do all entering M.S.C. students, Howard has his sights set on speech as his college major. Although he likes painting, he wants to make his career in radio and theatrical work, with art as a hobby. This was his reason for going to college, and it corresponds with a sur vey taken of his classmates who also say they went to college first because they felt it the best way to better their positions in their chosen fields of work. As an artist Howard has already carved a niche for himself, having sold a number of his oil paintings while a high school student. MEDICAL EXAMINATION AND X-RAYS Howard's interest and talent in art were combined in high school with a major in English and history and minor in science. He played varsity football, basketball and baseball, had the lead roles in a number of high* school plays, was art editor of his high school newspaper, and was presi* dent of his senior class. Alumni Recommendation During the summers Howard works on his father's cherry farm which is located near Traverse City. Howard| Sr., in addition to owning a farm, is production foreman of an industrial firm in Traverse City. Howard was like the majority of his class in another way—namely that h§, chose Michigan State because an alumnus told him about the college. Most students in the survey said that their alumni recommendations were first reason for picking M.S.C. The Four Years Ahead A Howard had also visited the campus^ and liked it. He learned too that good drama, speech and art courses were^ offered by the college. Because he can look forward to military service upon graduation, he was also interested in State's R.O.T.C. program. the Basic College Howard has a good start along t h^ four-year road to a college education. He has begun his speech work along with subjects: humanities, communications, the sci ences and social science. It will bV four years of hard work and study* for Howard and his classmates—but a four-year experience designed to shape4 a fruitful and meaningful career for the future. m JT^S Receives assistance . .
