WOMEN ARE BUSY

The Wapello County Farmers lnstl-
tute once more yesterday opened its
doors in annual session and number
of farmers, their wives, daughters and
sons might have been seen about the
Commercial college building during
the day. The institute will continue for
three days. The greater part of the day
was devoted to receiving, catalogu1ng
and arranging the exhibits, OF which
there is a vast number. These came
from the farms proper in the way OF
various soil products, but there is
likewise a great quantity of exhibits
that are distinctiyely from the femin-
inc part of the farm and the good
housewives who convert the efforts OF
the cows and chickens into dollars,
have a goodly line of exhibits that is
far more attractive to the average per-
son than even are the crops These
exhibits include a quantity OF kitchen
products and they certainly appeal to
the spectator Cakes, bread, and var
led eatables that bespeak study OF
domestic economy. as we'll as roll upon
roll Of golden butter, are some OF the
things the women have on exhibition.
Then there is the school work and It
is second to none, Tor Inc farmer VI
this county does not believe in neglect
ing education, and view Of the ex-
hibits that County superintendent
Elizabeth Burgess has gotten together
is ample proof of that.
Many products Displayed.
i The larger room on the first floor OF
the building is given over to exhibits
and here one finds wonderful variety
of things that were grown in the
country this year. AS might be ex-
pected, the corn exhibits are in the
majority, but these, too, are in great
variety. Almost all other Farm pro-
ducts in vegetables and grains are on
display or will be by tomorrow. That
the Wapello county farmer has gone
in more for the orchard products than
in the past is seen by the excellent
exhibits of apples. These vie with the
other farm products on display. The
entry of exhibits closes today.
Following business meeting the
program today included an adj
