HARRISON FARMERS DECIDE
AUTOS USE UNSUITABLE
Institute Declares Western Iowa At
fOrds Advantages that Make
Cars Good Investment.

LOGAN, Ia. Dec. 7.-(Special)-"Are
Weed and Road Laws of Iowa Practica-
ble?' was a question which, with the ex-
ception of the report of the awarding OF
the prizes in the corn contest by Prof.
Luck, occupied the entire morning Of the
farmers institute, in session here today
The consensus of those taking part in the
discussion seemed to be that the weed and
road laws were both practicable and ample
when enforced.
In the afternoon J. z. Jones OF Missouri
Valley discussed the adHsabilty OF the
purchase and use of autos by farmers. The
thought prevailed that business and pleas
ure of the average farmer would Justify
the purchase Of the car in western Iowa.
Leading and progressive farmers repre-
senting different sections of the county
have been in attendance and in point OF
numbers and enthusiasm the institute
which began here Tuesday evening and
closed this afternoon is a record breaker.
\ Election of officers resulted as follows:
President, w. s. Kelley, Mondamin; vice
president, H. w. Lawrepce Magnolia; sec
rotary and treasurer. Mrs. Stephen Ma
honey Mondamin.
II was decided to hold the next session OF
the Harrison county farmers institute at
Mondamin at a time to be determined by
the executive committee in charge.
