take an interest in 1t that would indicate
that they are not sleeping but that they
are wide awake when things pertaining
to their interests are transpiring. This
is as it should be. In the forenoon Prof.
Albert Dickens Of the Kansas State
Agricultural College spoke on "Tree
Culture In the Southwest" and as this 10 a
subject that not only the farmers, but
every citizen is interested In, close at
tention was given the speaker, who gave
avery interesting talk on the subject.
In the afternoon, DR.. Burkett having
faiied'to arrive, Prof. Dickens took up
the subject Of "Dry Land Farming" and
gave the farmers some points on farming

CATION, which after all is said ID the one
subject Of vital importance to our farmers,
The professor handled his subject In .
very interesting and instructive manner
and held the attention Of bis audience to
the last T. s. Lane Of Buoklin talked TO
his brother farmers on the Hog" and az
Tom has had long experience in raising
hsgs be was able to tell bis hearers all
about how to handle him from the cradle
to the grave, or in other words, from the
time that piggio first saw the light OF
day, until he arrived, a full grown porkcr
at the packing house. X. G. Dewell,
from north OF the river gave talk on
Alfalfa. He Is smother speaker that has
a practical knowledge Of the subject on
which be was talking, having been en-
gagged In raising and feeding this plant
for many years, he was able to give bis
brother farmers the benefit Of his own
experience.
In connection with the institute, the
Bucklin Corn Carnival Association gave
tie first annual exhibition, the business
men Of Bucklin offering small premium
on farm products, the result was very
gratifying. The display exceeded ex-
pectation both In quality and quantity.
all kinds Of farm products, that can be
successfully raised in this climate, were
brought in and In such quantities as to
keep Secretary Gresham and bis assistants
Hampy and Dellinger, busy for several
days classifying and labelling the exhibits.
The room In which these exhibits were
was crowded all day Thursday
and the farmers themselves were sur
priced at the display made. The man
that thought he had an extra fine sample
Of corn, potatoes, kaffir corn or In fact
any agricultural product. and brought 1t
In, thinkina that he was dead sure OF
getting the premium, changed his mind
when he saw what his neighbor had
in, and concluded that It
would take some elaboration to decide
who had the best sample. We are will.
ing to concede that we would have been
up against hard proposition had we
been called on to say who had the best
sample of corn there. 1t was all good
and the same can be said Of all other
products OF the coil shown. so toe was
The poultry shown. Below we give
