The FARMERS INSTITUTE
Meetings Not Very Largely Attended The
Addresses Instructive and Interesting.

The Farmels s Institute held in Morris
vile last Friday afternoon and evening
under the direction of Orlando l.. Martin
of Plaintield, State Commissioner of Agri
culture, gave the farmers in this vicinity
fine opportunity to get in toucn with
new and modern ideas, and the large
majority that did not avail themselves OF
the privilege. were the losers, as the ses-
sions were both highly interesting ard
instructive. While the attendance was
not large at either meeting, the farming
interests OF the town were we'll represent
ed and much interest was shown in the
questions discussed.
The first speaker at the afternoon ses-
sion was Prof. j. w. Sanborn of Gilman
town. n. H., whose subject was Home
Mixing of Chemicals" While he did not
give the practical information expected
by many, which the subjec- would sug-
gest, his talk was interesting and helpful
in a general way. lie was followed by
Lowell Roudebush of New Richmond,
Iowa, who spoke entertainingly and in
structively upon "Our Fruit Industry"
He said Vermont had been and still is
asleep to her great advantages as fruit
growing section and urged his hearers to
give more attention to this industry,
which could be made more profitable.
He was followed by NJ c. Thomas of the
nb;n 4
practical and interesting manner the ques-
tion of "ImprOvIng Our Corn Crop"
Mr.. Thomas spoke from practical expert
ence of the Importance of selecting the
proper kind of seed corn and said that he
believed the farmers made a great mis-
take in not raising more grain for "home
consumption" Following Mr.. Thomas,
Mr.. Roudebush was again called upon
and made some pointed remarks regard
ing the Poultry Industry" and while
his talk was in humorous vein, which
took well with the audience, he gave
some valuable information upon the sub
ject.
In the evening the speakers were E. S.
Brigham of St. Albans, who spoke upon
" Potatoes as Money Crop" and A. F.
Hawse, State Forester, who spoke upon
6 Vermont Forestry" Both subjects
were handled instructively and interest
ingly, the speakers holding the close at
5ention of the audience. Mr.. Brigham's
remarks brought out ideas, which if APP
piled to the planting and caring for the
potato crop, would no doubt greatly in
crease the value of potato growing, which
S undoubtedly given too little thought
Dy the average farmer. The talk by Mr.
Hawse was sound argument in favor of
jhe subject which is gaining daily in i'm
Dortance in Vermont.

originated

WHO SHALL BE SECOND

football circles, is the determining OF
the second place in the western con
ference.
By defeating Minnesota Saturday
by a score Of to 0. Michigan won an
undisputed claim to the champion
ship. but whether Minnesota or ILL
nois may be classed as runner-up VIII
serve as a source Of argument for fcl-
lowers OF the two teams for years 10
come.
Both Illinois and the Gophers have
shown excellent form throughout the
season. Illinois went through with
out a single defeat. and Michigan was
the only school to lower the eolors OF
the Minnesota aggregation. On this
basis Illinois followers believe they
deserve to be classed at least. as tied
with Minnesota. for the second honors.
