The Farmers Institute Saturday was
quite successful meeting and the at
tendance was fully 200. Splendid talks
were made by Professors Cottrell, Ben
nett and Knorr, of the State Agricultur-
al college, Eugene Grubb of Carbondale,
the most successful potato grower in the
world, and Hon. Franklin E. Brooks of
Colorado Springs. Our ranchmen en-
tered heartily into the discussions which
followed and all present were interested
and received some practical knowledge
which should be useful in the future.
The public picnic dinner was partaken OF
by about $50 and was most excellent
feast. Prof. Cottrell, in complimenting
the ladies, said the ladies who made the
pumpkin pies and coffee were worth
million dollars to any man. Modesty
forbids our mentioning any names. An
other (outdoor) institute will be held
here early in June next.
