Now is the time for farmers of the
COUNTY to organize clubs or associa-
tions. 1t is true that during the sum-
mer months, while crops need con-
stant attention, that farmers can not
sRend the tin,Ie for frGe4uent meetings,
but in winter there is no reason for
keeping them apart. Farmers can
certainly improve their condition,
both socially and financially, and
gain very much by association. There
is much to be learned 10y all men in
a mutual exchange of IDEAS. Especi-
slly is this the Qase with farmers who
sIye 30 fati apart: They have no op-
pertpnity for exchanging ideas except
through the nlediumship of assoeia=
ffons. Merchants, as a rule, eaa talk
with one another, but even they find
it to their advantage to have lex
changes" where they can meet daily
and exchange ideas upon the articles
in which they deal. Why, then,
should farmers neglect to do that
which the keenest traders in the world
find to be to be to their advantage
The TRIBUNE hopes to see number
of clubs or associations formed in this
county for the coming winter. Far.
