i'll addition to local. speakers.
These institutes are for a free and in

In these discussions without receiving
more than enough benefit to pay for the
time spent

Farmers Institutes no attempt is made
to lay down hard and fast rules for
farming, and no lecturer at these insti-
tutes is expected to discuss any practice
which he himself has not done success
fully or that dozens OF farmers in this
part of the State are not also doing
successfully at this time
The lecturers this year will be selected
from among the States most successful
farmers; the workers in our State De-
partment OF Agriculture; the United
States Department of Agriculture and
the faculty of the North Carolina College
ef Agriculture.
Do not forget the date OF this meeting

INSTITUTE FOR THE WOMEN FROM
THE FARM HOMES.
In connection with the regular, annual
Farmers Institute for men to be held at
Bear Pond School House Tuesday, July
21st, there will also be held a meeting
for the women from the farms. One or
two women speakers will be furnished
by the State Department of Agriculture
and these will be assisted by the men
conducting the mems institute, As this
meeting will be held on the same day
and at the same place as the farmers
institute Joint meeting of the men and
women may be arranged for the after
noon.
The women have greater and even
more perplexing problems in the homes
than the men have on the farms. Why
should they not come together and dis
cuss these problems, and get inspiration
and help in solving them? We have
heard OF no woman attending such an
institute that did not become interested
Those not familiar with the purposes
OF the institutes being held by our State
Department OF Agriculture for the benefit
of the women from the farm homes may
be interested in knowing something OF
the class OF ubiects discussed at these
meetings. Any or all of the following
may be discussed if those present desire.
The Farm Fruit Garden.
The Farm Vegetable Garden.
Farm Poultry.
Farm Butter Making
Beautifying the Home Surroundings
Home Conveniences
Literature for the Home Farm
Home Making.
Home Nursing.
Cooking Meats, Vegetables, etc.
Bread Making.
Educating the Girls on the Farm.
These are fair sample of the questions
that may be discussed at these women
Institutes; and surely they ale practical
subjects and an intelligent discussion OF
them cannot fail to be of much benefit to
those who attend.
Do not forget this meeting for the
women.
