Speaking of the work of the farm
ers' institute, Mr.. Gregg said
Institute Has Able Corps.
The institute was never better in
It's rank and file than this year. Much
can be said in praise Of the personality
OF the corps now in the field 1t is
the strongest aggregation of talent we
have yet had. Hon. T. B. Terry. of
ONO, who is the conductor of the two
day sessions, is one of the most not
ed OF the farm lecturers in the United
states. He is no stranger to Mime
sofa, this being his fourth visit He
is the accepted authority on tillage,
clover, and the productions of the crop
requiring the highest and most extern
s1ve culture. His home and farm in
Ohio are models for imitation and
show that the farm and farm life can

the best of living to the city and it's
culture. Plain in speech and direct in
presentation, the candor and sincerity
of his talks carries conviction. and he
Will undoubtedly do much good where
ever he is heard.
Mr.. Wing of Ohio is known through
out the United States as Alfalfa Joe
his services are in demand from New
York to Nebraska, and count myself
lucky in having secured him. Mrs.
Ida 70. Tilson is one of the most noted
poultry breeders in America and is
another one of the force whose services
are always in great demand A. w.
TroW, who takes charge of the one
day sessions, is probably the best
creamery man in the country. while
James e. Rice, of New Y ork, a gradu-
ate of Cornell university, is a star as
poultry man and an expert instruc-
tor in food values.
Taken altogether, the corps has
never been stronger, and is it particu-
Iarly gratifying to know that an in
creased interest is being taken in the
work. Our meetings are attended by
large numbers, from five to six hum
dred at each point, and in addition to
the addresses, we distribute to those
who attend copies of a 400-page book.
