Special to The Journal

Gracevi1le, Nov. Arrangements
are practically complete for starting
the much talked Of farmers institute
train from Gainesville November 18th.
Letters to the experiment station from
various sections Of the state indicate
widespread interest in this new move
ment that will simplify the matter Of
university workings in the minds of
the people who are land owners in
Florida. This special train is ar
engaged in agricultural pursuits.
The boards of trade, county COM
missioners. school teachers, preachers.
doctors, lawyers and men Of all pro-
fessions are giving this matter con-
siderable thought and by the time the
train arrives at the various places
there will undoubtedly be larger in
known before.
The equipment has been arranged
from the University of Florida and no
pains have been spared to make it the
best that could be secured. A great
deal of time and money has been de-
voted to the preparations and 1t prom
iseS to be one of the best equipped
farmers institute trains that has ever
been run in the southern states. The
various interests of Florida make 1t
necessary to have q great variety of
equipment. For the general farmers.
a carload Of hogs, fifteen or twenty
forages, corn, grasses, and improved
machinery. For the citrus grower,
methods of packing, selection and
spraying materials have been carefully
secured. There is a general interest
in the improved machinery. Two full
cars consisting of the best that could
be secured from the different manu-
facturers. These manufacturers have
| courteously loaned these to the insti-
| tute, preparing freight charges. This
will be the best collection of machinery
of it's kind that has ever been brought
together in the southern states.
The literature is. of a varied nature.
| Over three thousand bulletins came
from the department at Washington
| on subjects that the Florida farmer is
particularly interested in. Two or
three thousand from the state expert
| ment station, the results of investiga-
| tions, will also be distributed. The
farmers library. filed with the best
| books that the station could secure,
will be for inspection for everyone.
Expert Speakers.
The speakers will consist of experts
| in their particular line. The expert
ment station and university will con-
| tribute in this and other speakers from
a distance have been secured. The
passenger coach will be equipped with
a stereopticon lantern, which makes it
lures in g. comfortable day coach If the
weather outside is unfit for lecturing.
Advertising is being literally dis
tributed. Every farmer through whose
section the train will pass will be
notified of the arrival and departure Of
the train. Each detail is being han
died carefully and when the train
starts out on the 18th 1t will be fully
equipped and all arrangements prop
erly made.
1t was only through the courtesy Of
the Atlantic Coast Line that such an
educational campaign could be carried
out in this way. Their co-opefation
and liberal consignment of cars.
coaches, ETC., relieves the state of a
great burden of expense which at the
present time it could. not have borne
had it been compelled to pay for this
| equipment. .........
The train promises to be a great
success and it is hoped that much
| good viii result from these efforts that
the university officials have put for
! ward to. make 1t successful.
The itinerary over the L. & N. has
| not yet been arranged, but. the follow
