TO HELP FARMERS
Sedgwick County offered
Assistance By
COLLEGE AT MANHATTAN
In Holding Three Farmers
Institutes in the County.
COLLEGE AT MANHATTAN

Ex-Representative Silas Rutledge, along
with four or five other Sedgwick county
farmers has received letter from Act
ing President E. r. Nichols Of the State
Agricultural College on the Importance of
farmers institute which are to be held in
the various Kansas counties this summer.
The matter will probably be taken up
and one or two secured for Sedgwick
county some time in August. Maize Is
suggested already for one Of these insti-
tutes and II held there it will no doubt be
largely attended.
The college has an appropriation this
year of 5000 to be expended on making
these institutes interesting and profitable
to farmers. This Is the first appropriation
ever made for this purpose in this state
and by its help the institutes will be
greatly improved over those held in the
past.
Speakers from the Agricultural College
are sent out at the expense of the school,
which also prints, free of charge, posters
and programs for all Institutes which 1t
assists. A circular sent out by the COL
lege says that an exhibition of farm pro-.
ducts, samples Of cooking and school
work always adds to the interest. Ex-
hib:tions of machinery by dealers and
stock by farmers are popular. where in
stitutes are held near creameries, 1t pays
to spend half a day in interesting the milk
of herds and individual cows.
At an institute at Peabody a business
man offered two prizes for the best essays
on How Corn Crows" to be written by
pupils in the district schools. A friendly
but strong rivalry was created among the
different schools in regard to winning
these prizes, remarkably good work was
done by the pupils, and the house was
packed TO overlooking, the audience pro-
fitting by the regular papers as we'll as en-
joying this feature of the program.
At Meriden the business men OF the
town gave a free dinner, with oysters, to
all the farmers and their families attend
ing the institute, and $50 persons were
present. This institute resulted in the
testing Of the methods advocated by the
college people by large number Of farm
ers.
The Institutes can be held on any time
after July Is. They are very important
and beneficial to the farmers and Sedg-
wick county should arrange to hold the
three admissible at different points in the
county.

In the senate, on the I'd. the fortif1ca-
