The Special Institute-The special
Institute was designed to give the
farmers Of every section of the State,
an opportunity to meet men who are &C
espted leaders in their chosen lines OF
work, but W hose time is too occupied
to permit them to engage in the regular
Institute work. Through the Special
Instit ute our farmers have the oppor-
tunity to meet and grasp the hand OF
e1cepti onally successful agricul tura,
lists. and by contact receive the insp-
ration that will make Of them pros
nervous and contsntsd farmers. The
Special Institutes will be conducted

West, where Mr.. King is spoken and
| written of as a public benefator to
those who travel mud roads.
The Institute Scbeol-The Mass
Netting method Of carrying infor-
nation a. practiced at the regular or
sariy institut es, is best suited to intro
duce many subjects for open discuss
ion and to kindle in the patron de-
sire for more knowledge, which can
be obtained after the institute has been
dismissed only through literature or .
course at the Agricultural College.
Because Of the scarcity Of efficient
farm b clip, the farmer and his boys are
