farmers institute is not q
new and untried fad as is
evidenced by the immense
throngs of farmers who at
tend these meetings in states
where they have been con-
Quoted sufficiently long to
thoroughly demonstrate
their worth. In many plac-
es it is necessary to hold in
stitutes in two or more halls
at the same time in order to
accomodate the greet
crowds attending them. In
some Oklahoma counties
within the past year it was
with difficulty that the peo-
pie were made comfortable
in halls seating five hundred
or more people. This coun-
ty, we are sorry TO say, is
not included in that lot,
however, much to the dis
credit OF our farmers. 1t
should be understood that
the farmers institute OF Ok
lahoma is a part of onr gov
ernment, provided for and
fostered by our Territorial
laws. The very fact that
they are free should not be
taken as an indication by
our farmers that they are
not worth as much to them
as some other things which
they are willing to contrib
ute largely to in q financial
way.
