making hay while the sun shines as
was evidenced in the meeting Satur-
| day afternoon in the public committee
| room of the Courier, when large
number of the agriculturists Of the
county held the first meeting of the
stitute. While all Of the plans for the
| exhibit. and lecture course were not

the dates Of holding the institute and
| on the committees which will be re-
sponsible for the success of the ven
ture. December /, 2 and 3 are the
dates selected, but the place Of hold
ing has not yet been desired.
Judging from the size Of the COM

handle the work of the institute, 1t is
evident that the movement is more en-
couraged than ever and the enthus-
iasm greater. 1t is also evident that
the institute this year bids fair to ex-
cell all plevious efforts which Is saying
great deal The character of the ex-
hibits and lectures during the institute
sessions, have always been entertain

suit AMI value to the farmers of the

proved methods are experimental up
