Farmers Institutes.

AT the late meeting Of the Missouri
State Board Of Agriculture a resolution
was passed authorizing the President o.
the board Norman j. Colman) to cal
a meeting Of the board at such time and
place as he saw proper, for the purpose Of
aiding in holding farmers institutes in
| different parts Of the state. In Illinois
these institutes have been held with
great profit and success. They can be
held under the direction of the county
agricultural society, or . farmers con-
v%ention can be called and organized.
Addresses and discussions can be held
on various subjects in which farmers are
deeply interested.
If any suitable hall can be obtained
we will. on the petition of 80 farmers of
any county. call q meeting Of the State
Board Of Agriculture and assist in hold
ing a farmers institute Of some four or
FIVE days duration. We would want to
get into a live community where the far
mers and their sons would attend and ap-
preciate the efforts that we're being made
for their benefit. No member Of the
State Board Of Agriculture receives a
single rent as compensation, and the
time and labor would be donated for the
go,d Of the cause.
We do not know that our farmers are
ready to take advantage of this PROPOSE
ton this winter, but the importance of
such meetings conducted in the proper
spirit, cannot be over estimated. We
need more discussions an org farmers
more farmers conventions and farmers
institutes. All political and religious
questions will be eschewed at ruch meet
ings. The only object in view i. the dis
%semination Of valuable information
among farmers.
