Farmers Institutes in Ohio.

The first annual report of farmers
institutes, held in Ohio in 18909l, by
tn g State Board of Agriculture, makes
a creditable showing. The report
says:
In the autumn of 1880 Secretary
Chamberlin presented to the State
Board of Agriculture paper on the
future werk of the board. He had
been elected Secretary in May, 1880
with the understanding that some new
and advanced work should beinaugur-
ated, and at this meeting he submitted
for the boards consideration plans for
entering upon, a system of farmers
institutes, and of monthly crop re-
porting. "'
He asked for authority to cooperate
with local or country agricultural soci-
eties and oranges in calling and organ
izing farmers institutes or agricultural
conventions.
The law creating the State Board OF
Agriculture defined this work to be
"the promotion of the best interests OF
agriculture in Ohio"
On motion of C. P. CLANCY, the sec.
retary twas authorized Ito proceed
forthwith to enlarge the work of the
department. of agriculture for the bet
ter promotion of the agricultural and
stock breeding interests of the state
and to defray the expenses of carrying
on the work during the remainder of
the fiscal year and to expend
not to exceed the sum of one thousand
dollars" .e
1t is worthy to note that the first ap-
preparation for the institute work was
made out of the earnings of the state
fair, and not from funds appropriated
by the State.
The state board thus inaugurated the
work, and after it proved the value
and the acceptability Of Institutes, the
state increased the amount usually ap-
propriated for the encouragement of
agriculture in the sum ofone thousand
dollars, to enable the State Board of
Agriculture to continue this work,
By the cooperation of the patrons
of the faculty of the Ohio State Uni-
versity, and by the citizens of the
eighborhood where an institute was
held paying all local expenses and en-
tertaining the speakers sent by the
State Board of Agriculture, it was pos
sibIe to hold the first year about forty
institutes. The number increased from
year to year, and the applications be-
came more numerous than the board
could respond to with the means avail
able,
The new institute law passed April
26th, 1890, has made it possible to
further enlarge The work and to relieve
the few enterprlslng citizens from the
burden which should he borne equally
by all, since, like the public schools,
the Institutes are open t" all, and their
influence for good is not limited to any
class or loraitA.

season of 1890 aud 1891, from December

In 1881 just ten years ago, the Re-
publicans carried Ohio, and elected
Charles Foster governor by 2,3O9
plurality over Bookwalter, 5000 more
than McKinley's majority this month.
Yet the very next year they lost the
state by 1915 on secretary Of state,
and carried but six congressional dis
tricts out oftwenty-one. This should
teach them q lesson that even Ohio
won't do to rely upon.

The Philadelphia Press is of opin-
ion that the annual pension expendi-
lures will decline hereafter unless a
service pension is adopted. It esti-
mates that the outlay for pensions
this year will be $40, 900, 900 less than
in 1890. The falling off is attributed
to the Fact that the war ended twenty
six years ago, and that those who
took part in it have reached an age
when the mortality rate is high. ..
