FARMERS
INSTITUTES
What They Have Accomplished
And Might Accomplish
In ThisSState

The various State Agricultural Col
leges and Experiment stations are po-
tent factors in the advancement of
science in agriculture, and it is safe to
say that no department of their work
is more effective and productive of
more direct results than that of
Farmers Institutes.
While comparatively new in this
State, they have been carried on for
years in eastern states and for some
time in our sister state, California.
1t has been the history of the work
in every state, that when first begun
in any section, it was looked upon
with indifference, GOODNESS and even
farmers have realized what these in
stitutes are, and what their aim is,
there has been a demand for them.
In most of the eastern states and in
California today the demand for these
meetings is so great that the farming
interests have forced legislative ap-
preparations of large amounts to carry
on the work.
The Farmers Institute is in its in
fancy in Nevada. for it was but a lit
tie over a year ago that the first in
stitute ever held in Nevada, was held
at Elho, and proved a great success.
Others have been held at Gardnerville
and Lovelock and still other dates are
on the calendar. We have met the
same difficulty that other States have
met before us-not a coldness and feel
irg of suspicion in our case, however,
but a lack of knowledge of the what
and why of the Institutes. AS a re-
suit our first audiences have not been
large, hut this was to be expected.
Each succeeding session of an insti-
tllte brought a larger audience than
had offended the preceding session;
for as the farmers learned the object
and something Of the benefits to be de
rived from the discussions, they glad
" attended the meetings, so that at
the final session Of an institute we
spoke to a full house. One of the
first things We rave met on going to a
new place is: 'Well, are you going
10 teach the :anchers how to ranch?"
And the tinge of irony with which this
is aid is very noticeable. This idea is
one of the things which initiate
against the Institutes. Our first duty
has therefore been to show the farm
ers that it is not our purpose to pose
as a "know it ALL" but that we are
CARRYING on this work for mutual ad-
yancement-that we go to the farmer,
because he has not the time to come
to us; that we are there to talk over
the great agricultural problem, to ex-
change ideas; and that we expect to
receive from these meetings as much
as we give. The results of this work
i'll Nevada are already apparent IN
many ways. The Experiment Station
is being brought into closer contact
with those for whose benefit Congress
endows it. The Station Staff are meet
ing the agricultural conditions as they
exist. and are thus enabled to carry
on their work in a much more salts
factory manner. AS we gain the con-
fdence of the farming communities
of the State, the work will be far more
effective, and We shall be able to per-
feet scientific agriculture and place it
upon the high plane which it occupies
in other and older States.

Philadelphia. Oct. 12-Delaware ave.
nue., which runs along the Delaware
river in this city, was again flooded
for a distance Of two miles at high
tide. The water was so high that
ferryboats were unable to enter their
slips without doing damage and for
several hours service between this
city and Camden and Gloucester was
suspended. The cellars of most of the
business houses op Delaware avenue
in the food district were filled with
water. and goods valued at many
thousands of dollars were either en-
tirely ruined or damaged. The water
in the avenue reccded with the tide,
but it Is feared that the next high tide
win send the river up into the thor
oughfare again, as the river is still
far above normal.
Much damage was done along both
banks Of the river all the way to the
Delaware bay. The flood did damage
in the League Island navy yard and
flooded industrial establishments at
Chester and other points.
