REPLY,

EDITORS CHRONICLE To the above I
wish to reply through your columns, so
that others similarly situated may be ben
efited
The first step necessary to be taken in
the organization of Farmers Club is to
have head or president-not an dutona-
atom nor drone, but q GUe man whose soul
is in the work of agriculture. 1t won't do
toselect him because he may be a Esquire"
or Colonel" or Major or what is
called "big man " in the neighborhood.
1t is not always the case that such men
make the most active and vigorous work.
ers. Never select any man simply on the
ground that he may be considered infuen-
tial. You want one who can and will put
his own shoulder to the wheel and push
like giant Energy, when accompanied
full. 1t will accomplish wonders. In Sc
lecting, therefore. a man for this RESPONSE
BILE position, see to it that he fills your bill
in the essential respects alluded to.
The next officer of importance is a Sec
retary. He is the ours-naan of the organ
ization-the constant, persistent and un-
yielding worker, whose brain and muscle
must and will be taxed to the utmost to
enforce life and interest into the whole
thing. 1t is not always easy to find just
such man. There are members who
tions, but when thoroughly tried, they are
found wanting. He must be gifted with
the genius of putting the dry bones to-
gether, and covering them with muscle,
sinew and skin. Everything depends up
ON his industry and perseverance. He
must, therefore, be no idler-rlo piodder
Up and doing, is his motto. Labor viacet
0n1uid.
The organization would be incomplete
without Treasurer, whose duty it is to
take care of the funds and to disburse
them as directed. And, by the way,
let me observe that no organi-
zation has ever yet succeeded
without some means. There ought to be
an initiation fee Of one dollar or more.
After the organization is completed, an
able committee of five should be appointed
to prepare constitution and bylaws for
its government. These should be COM
prehensive and to the point.
Finally, as the object of the organization
is to promote the cause of agriculture, all
the members should subscribe for some
ably-conducted agri cultural journal. 1t is
important to know what the farmers are
