stitutes says of Mr...Kydd: 'He is one Of
our most acceptable Institute speakers.
He is authority on horses, dairy cattle
and small fruits. q He has had large prac-
tical experience in all these departments
and also in fair matters, having been
superintendent of the horse department
of probably the largest purely agricultural
show in the Province. He is an accepted
judge of both light and heavy horses and
as such has been invited to place awards
in many parts of Ontario. Being an
aggressive, .forceful speaker. his words
carry weight.
Prof. c. P. Close College Park, Md
Professor Close, Horticulturist Of the
Maryland Experiment Station, graduated
from the Michigan Agricultural College
in 1895, paying special attention to Hor-
ticulture. Since graduating his official
life has been as follows: Nearly four
years as assistant in Horticulture in the
New York State Agricultural Experiment
Station 1.-TWO years as Professor in Horti-
culture, Entomology and Botany at the
Utah Agricultural College; FIVE years as
Horticulturist of the Delaware Agricul-
tural Experiment Station, and this is the
fourth year in his present position. He
has thus had an opportunity to study
horticultural methods clear across the
continent.
P. E. Sharpless, one of the leading milk
condensery operators in the country,
with model plant established at Rising
Sun, as well as other operations along
the Baltimore Central railroad, is too
well known in this section to need further
introduction.
With this interesting and instructive
program arranged, it is expected the
speakers will be greeted with larger
audience than has ever before been gather
ed at a farmers institute in Rising Sun.
The meetings are absolutely free and no
collections will be taken. Everyone is
invited to avail'themselves ofthe Question
Box privileges and have these high
authorities in their several branches of
agriculture answer any question in their
line of study and work
