FARMERS INSTITUTES.

o' ~ pIppty, OF une
" Missouri State Board of Agriculture
sends out this bulletin
Below we give the date and loca
q ton of institute meetings for 1894.
e These locations have been fixed at
s points from which we have received
; the greatest number and most urgent
calls for the work, and at such points
\ as were most accessible by rail or
= other public conveyance, care being
+ taken to distribute them we'll over
. the state, and at the same time to
:, hold them with the greatest possible
>. economy.
i Ithas been the policy of the board
q and its secretary to give to every
agricultural and live stock industry
3 in the state such encouragement as
,. was possible with the means at our
I command.
; In pursuance of this policy We
have contributed to and will hold a
meeting in cooperation with the
: dairy, poultry, swine and road
associations. With increased appro-
priations the board might extend its
work in this direction until interests
that are now languishing might be
encouraged and developed until they
would become a source of revenue
and do credit to state that should
be first in all departments of agri-
cultMe.
1t has been the custom of some
counties to make an agricultural
display at institute meetings, bringing
samples of their grain, grasses, fruit,
and vegetables. Where such di PLAYS
are made during the coming series
of meetings we have decided to
award prizes upon the following
articles:
Best sample Of wheat, best sample
of oats, best dozen ears of corn, best
dozen potatoes, best dozen apples,
best dozen apples, best cabbage, best
pound of butter, best sample cheese.
The prizes in all cases to be one
years subscription to any agricultural
or live stock paper published in this
state. The winner of the prize to
select the paper.
Hon. T. B. Terry, of Hudson, Ohio
Col. G. w. Waters, of Canton, Mo-;
DR.. 7. j. Turner, state veterinarian;
DR.. r. a. Ramsay, Mexico, Mo-, and
Emerson 7. Abbott, president North
American Bee Kee ers Association.
ings. Mr.. A. +. Haekett, observer
of Missouri weather service, will
attend such meetings as his official
duties will permit.
The state horticultural society and
the Missouri agricultural college will
each probably be represented.
We shall appreciate such assistance
as may be given by the local talent,
the object being to get the agricul
turists of each locality to take an
interest in the discussions and par
ticipate in them, to make it a
meeting where farmers consult and
reason together for common good and
general advancement along the line
of advanced and progressive agricul
| ture.
1t is hoped that all our crop
correspondents in counties where the
meetings are held, will attend and
interest themselves in getting their
neighbors to attend and that all who
feel an interest in agriculture may
unite their efforts for a successful
and profitable meeting.
