In recent bulletin sent out by |
the extension division OF the Mime !
sofa department of agriculture a
program for a club meeting has
been suggested as follows:
Meeting called to order by presid-
ing officer.
Instrumental music or a song by
the club.
Roll call of members by the secre-
tary.
Responses should take some other
form than the mere word present"
The program committee or the presi-l
dent should previously designate the
topic of response for roll call. The
responses should be entertaining and
instructive, but not too long. The
following topics may be suggestive:
What | Have Done for the Club
Since the Last Meeting.
How | Have Adder to the Value of
My Farm This Season.
What I Consider My Most Profit
able Crop.
Reading and approval of the min
utes of the last meeting.
members.
Discussion of timely farm topics
led by club member or some other
speaker, followed by questions and
general discussion.
Reading or music.
Discussion of another farm or
household topic illustrated by dem
onstration if possible.
Question box Timely and practical
questions should be previously pre-
pared by members and placed in the
question box. Each question should
be read and answered separately,
the president calling upon some mem
Der or members to answer them.
A For Sale" and Wanted" box
may also be provided. A member
having something for sale or wishing
to buy or hire something should list
the same on a slip Of paper, sign
his name, and place it in the box.
These slips should all be read at
some time during the meeting. An
exchange of these lists between clubs
will be mutually helpful.
Reading of the program for next
meeting.
Report OF executive committee.
Unfinished business.
New business.
Closing exercises and adjournment.
Each club should have it's own
constitution written to meet the
needs of that particular band of peo-
pie. In Blue Earth county Professor
c. r. Shumway of this city is taking
an active part in this work and has
started several of the now prospecting
organizations.

nor Eberhart in answering the criti-
cism of D. NJ. Neill of Redwing that
he and President Vincent of the
university should remain in their
offices and make fewer addresses.
From states where have cam

governor, tho migration to this
state has increased 100 per cent in
the last few years. Mr.. NELL does
not seem to realize the value of
good publicity. He should, if he is
business man. | am free to say
that today Minnesota is better
known than any other state in the
west and this is due to the boost

Has Advertised University.
president Vincent. on the other
hand, has advertised the university
as it has never been advertised be-
fore. He is taking the big school
to the people and his work in this
line is to be commended.
Minnesota needs boosters and |
do not think that its executive of

better advantage than to aid in this
work of advertising the resources
of the state"
President Vincent of the univer-

with severe cold and an attack of
bronchitis. At his office this morn

not serious and that he would be
