The aim and object OF this and other

Is simply to givo hundreds OF farmers
an opportunity to feel the Inspiration that
comes from knowledge OF how and

Intelligent conception of the qualities OF

sources Of information and become en-

Judging from the reports received In the

tered sections OF the State asking for
information relating to tho program, rail-

been very cordial in giving tho meeting
wide publicity, and 1t Is rather surprising
