Help From Farmers Institutes.

As evidence that farmers are becom-
ing better informed on their work,
many men who had earned consider
able money as institute workers have
been obliged to drop the work because,
as one of them frankly said, "the farm
ers know more than we do" 1t is not
charged that speakers at farmers in
stitutes are not well informed, for they
are, as a rule. The time was, however,
The a mar with a glib tongue and a
superficial knowledge of farming or
kindred industries Could readily take
up institute work; but Of late years,
as farmers became more familiar with
the technical part Of farming, the insti-
tue speaker must needs be not only a
good talker, but know what he Is
talking about and keep ahead IF the
farmer in knowledge. These farmers
Institutes are productive of immense
benefit and there should be one in ev-
cry farming district. The writer has
done institute york for many years and
knows that his best success has come,
not from his prepared speech or paper,
put from the discussion which resulted
from the asking Of questions by think
ing farmers. Here is a point for the
farmer who seeks for knowledge. Ask
the institute work.: questions. Most
or these speakers ere sincere and hon.
est and If they cannot answer your
question they Will say so frankly and
seek TO obtain the information for you
from some fellow worker or from some
