First Regular Institute Ever Held
In Delta County Convenes
Next Week.
MONDAY AND TUESDAY NOV. 1913
Splendid Array Of Scientific Talent From
the Agricultural College to In
StruCt and Lecture.

The first real Farmers Institute ever
held in Delta is announced to take place
here on Monday and Tuesday. November
II and l3. This Institute will be under
the direction of the State Board of
Agriculture and the Agricultural Col
lege, and the state director, Fred P.
johnson, has promised to have good
corps of speakers to assist in the work.
Every farmer in Delta county should be
present at this Institute.
There are many agricultural problems
locally that have not yet been solved
and farmers should be glad to have all
the expert assistance they can obtain.
At the Institute these subjects will be
taken up and thoroly discussed with
assistance of the speakers from outside
The local people are expected to take
part in the discussions and by asking
questions of each other and the experts
bring out every possible phase of agri-
cultural conditions in the county.
Among the speakers who will be
present, as announced, are Professor
W. L. Carlyle, Dean of Agriculture of
the Agricultural college, who is one of
the most prominent men IN agricultural
work in the United States.
Professor Carlyle will talk on live
stock subjects principally. taking up
cattle and horse growing and stock
feeding.
Professor w H. Olin, the agronomist,
at the Agricultural College, will discuss
grain growing, preparation of soil for
crops and the selection of seed. Pro-
fessor Olin is one of the best experts
in the United States on grains and
grasses and most interesting speaker.
Professor C. P. Gillette. of the Ari-
cultural College, is expected to be pres
ent and discuss troubles that the fruit
growers have with pests in their orch
ards.
Mrs. Ida E. Tilson. the famous poul-
try expert from Wisconsin, will also be
present and talk about poultry on the
farm. William B. Ebbert, of Rocky
Ford, is expected to be present to dis
cuss sugar beet culture.
1t seems to us that all who are inter-
ested in agriculture and horticulture
will deem it privilege to attend the
Institute. for We believe that know
ledgescan-he gained that will be worth
hundreds of dollars to each individual
in very few years. Every farmer and
fruit grower should arrange his or her
work to be present, as you cannot af-
ford to miss this opportunity to learn
many things about your business that
is necessary to its most successful pur-
suit.
A success of this first Institute will
mean annual sessions in the future and
with large attendance it will be q
success. AS we understand it the last
legislature appropriated money to bear
the expense of holding Institutes
thruout the state and if they prove
successful annual appropriations will be
made to continue them, but if they
should prove unsuccessful, thru lack of
interest on the part Of those whom it is
meant to benefit. the appropriations
will undoubtedly be cut off. 3D..
The Independent hopes to see large
attendance by farmers, fruit growers
and poultry raisers for We know that
all will be benefited to such degree
that there will be no regret on account
of the time spent.
Monday and Tuesday of mex, week,
