owner of the land ar the tenant?" Mr..
Trigg advised securing good renter on
a share basis, give him good per cent.
and compel him to treat the soil right
and plant as the owner would. He
wouldn't rent for less than five years,
and would insist on business principles
in every transaction, and cooperate
with the renter in every way possible
to bring best results. The renter
should be content with small farm
and take it on share rent, as he il pro-
tected i'm bad seasons and benefited
when he has good crops.
Lee Jack thought he could farm 100
acres at better profit than small
farm. Mr.. YarwOod, Rev. Parkin, w.
N. Drake, A. jacobson and Mr.. Logs
don also gave their ideas on the subject
At the conclusion IF the discussion
of this topic Secretary r. F. Tyler read
the following resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted by the Institute
RESOLUTIONS.
RESOLVED, That the Farmers Institute If
Winneshiek County, stale OF Iowa, in Calmar
assembled this I'd day of March, 1899, do *
tend our sincere thanks to the people OF the
city of Caimar for the royal manner in which
they have welcomed and entertained us as
their guests.
To the committees for the energetic man.
ner in which they have taken hold of and dis
posed of the duties devolving upon them.
That we thank those who so kindly helped
In the musical part of the evening entertain
me t.
That we thank the teachers and school
children of the Calmar public schools for the
very interesting part that they performed Of
the evening rogram.
That we ask that these resolutions be pub
lished in the papers of Winneshiek county.
The closing topic of the program was
"Social Side of Farm Life. What are
the Proper Amusem.nts to be Encour-
aged?" was then taken up. John Hegg
thought this an important phase of
farm life. Give the children some
chance to develop socially. Help them
along, but give them tie right kind of
entertainment. Debating and literary
societies, evening parties, etc, are up
lifting, but avoid demOralizing forms
of entertainment. w. n. Drake read
splendid paper on this subject, which
we shall publish later, and elsewhere
in this issue will be found the one
written by HI. A. Bigelow
J. B. Kaye urged the teaching of
good habits TO children; be their play
mates and companions; give them the
best literature to read you can get,
outdoor, indoor games, ETC.; keep the
home and farm yard looking well, and
you will raise noble men and women.
DIR. Whitbeck gave short talk on
"Prevention of the Spread of Contag
ious Diseases" A. jacobson moved a
vote OF thanks to the officers for their
efficient and untiring labors. Jos. s.
Trigg made few remarks and the in
stitute adjourned.
We would say just n word in regard
to the hearty welcome and genial hos
pitality accorded the institute by the
Calmar people. All present were made
to feel at home and will always have
warm feeling for the Calmar people
on this account.
