to be made by members of the various in
stitute societies during the coming season.
They are confined to four subjects: cultiva-

fertilizer, and variety tests ana methods
of culture for potatoes. To make these ex-
periments most successful it is important TO
have them conducted by farmers and gard
eners in all parts Of the state. Any person
in Shiawassee county wishing to take part
in this experimental work can do so, and
can obtain the necessary Conformation by adj
dressing the secretary of our county insti-
tute, Charles B. Cook, at Owosso. 1t is to
be hoped that goodly number of farmers
will take hold of this work and place Shia-
wassee county in the front ranks.
