GRESS.
u. w. koiner, commissioner of agri-
culture and immigration of the State
OF Virginia, conducted series of farm
ers' institutes last week at various
points along the lower Potomac and
Rappahannock rivers. The commits
sioner used one of the river steamers,
which was temporarily fitted for the
purpose. The steamer made several
landings in the territory named, and
by previous notice the farmers near the
landings gathered to listen to lectures
and demonstrations conducted by the
commissioner and others.
Mr.. Koiner writes from Richmond,
since his return from the trip, that it
was as successful as it could well be.
The attendance at different points was
all the steamer would accommodate,
and Mr.. Koiner says the farmers exhi-
blted intense interest in the subjects
discussed. The general subject of the
lectures was "Trucking,n to which the
farmers of the tidewater counties of the
State are turning attention.
