Farmers Institute Lecture.

A new feature is being added
to the Farmers Institute pro.
gram this year in the form of an
evening lecture illustrated by
stereoptican lantern. An exper-
! iment is being made Of holding
evenings for the purpose of this
lantern lecture in connection with
the Farmers Institute in many
of the counties of the State.
This lecture will be delivered by
DR.. F. L. Stevens of the A. &
NJ. College and of the N. c. Ex-
pertinent Station. and will dis
cuss many phases of agricultural
problems such as plant improve
ment. breeding, selection, cross
breeding Of plants, protection of
plants from their enemies, dis
eases and insects; the various
methods of plant culture and
propagation, tools to be used, and
the method of using them: the
economy OF farm labor, and the
proper Improvement. of tools.
This lecture is to be Illustrated
by a large selection of beautiful
lantern slides which will be ex-
hibited or an eight foot screen
in the lecture hall. The lecture
should be interesting, instructive
and profitable to all farmers, and
also to the students, teachers
and to the farmers wives and
children.
Several requests have been re-
ceived from various counties that
this lecture be placed at an ear
lier hour in the day in order that
it might be convenient for farm
ers living at a distance to attend.
This, however, is obvisously i'm
possible since it is necessary TO
have the room dark in order to
exhibit the illustrations.
