 The Farmers Institute held at the court house was not as largely attend ed by the farmers of the county as was expected, but those present were amply repaid for the time spent. Professors C. A. Cary and R. M Mackintosh of Au- burn conducted the institute and the way in which they imparted instruc- tion on the various subjects discussed showed that they were well informed on matters pertaining to farm life. They proved conclusively to those pre- sent that fertilixers of far superior quality could be made by the farmer at home. and at a saving of from $6 to $S per ton. than the commercial ierti- lizers now being used.

Some crops in the eastern DOT ton of the county are still very grassy. while those in the western portion are practically clean and In much better condition.
