A talk or a lecture may be thor

demonstration must carry absolute
conviction. The demonstrations that
will be used in Louisville in the huge
Armory, April z, 8, 9, 10, are sure to
attract the attention of the farmers,
their friends and neighbors who come
to the Conference. A short list of
some of these various demonstrations
will probably give some idea of the
wide scope of this meeting. Men who
understand the business will develop
real organizations for the handling

and CD Cooperative Credit. In these
organizations that will be developed,
an effort will be made to show exactly
how the testing, grading, standardiz-
ing and packing of all the various pro-
ducts is done. Directors for shipping,
selling, the making of returns and the
finding of markets will be made fea-
lures of these demonstrat tons.
Besides these cooperative organiza-
lions that have just been mentioned
the United States Postoffice Depart

to equip complete parcel post depart.
ment. Instead Of its being merely a
dummy affair with an exhibit, parcels
will be handled and sent out as they
are in any great postoffice. Several of
the lare retail stores of Louisville will
send their parcel post packages direct
TO this office instead of the main post
Office, so that there will be continuous
work in handling the mail during the
whole time the Armory is open for ex-
hibition purposes. In addition to the
handling of packages from the city to
the country, experts will be present
to show anyone how to pack eggs, but.

Very few people know very much
about the parcel post as yet, and this
innovation should prove a tremendous
advantage to those visiting the Confer.
ence.

Some work in successful farmers
clubs has been done in the State OF

University is the man who has devel

field has appealed so strongly to those

that arrangements were made for him
to come to tie meeting at Louisville,
April 7-l0, to develop the same enthu.
siasm that has attended the work in
his home state. He is a speaker OF
ability, and it is hoped that he may en-.
thuse our farmers to the point of or.
ganizing some clubs in Kentucky and
in the South for this year.

Almost everyone who has head the
or so has wished to travel to many
points and learn first-hand what the
leaders in cooperation are doing. Of
course, this has been an impossibility
and even if one could make it possible,
there would be no time left for con-
etructive work at home. To a certain
extent the County Life Conference"
in Louisville, April Z, 8, 9, 10, will
make this a possibility without extern
sive travelling.
Leaders in cooperative movements
from many parts of the South and
from innumerable Northern States,
have been engaged to tell just what
they have accomplished and how it
was accomplished. They are to tell
their ups" as well as their downs,
in the cause of cooperation. They
will also be on hand to show exactly
how the work which has been a sue
cess at home can be transplanted to
other neighborhoods. They will bring
with them not only the story, but also
all of the material that is used in their
perfected organization to-day that it
may run smoothly.
Enough enthusiasm is sure to be de-
velOped to make orga nizations among
those present a certainty. This will
be done by these men in the most de-
tailed way possible. The leaders who
come to the Conference should be able
to take the good word home in such
shape that it can be redeveloped and
take root.
II you should wish to better your
own condition, or the condition of
your state, or the condition of the
whole South, it would be well worth
your time and money to come to Louis
willie at this time.
Even if you are not at all anxious
TO hear any one of the speakers or see
any of the demonstrations, still it
would be a delight to be in a crowd
of people who are enthusiastic enough
and devoted enough to come and rub
elbows with other leaders. After all,
there is nothing much better in life
than the glow which comes to all of
as when We come in contact with live
wires" from scattered places over the
whole country.
If you are leader or feel that you
might be a leader or hope to be
leader. make your plans at once and
get the dust off your grip sack that
you may be ready to be with the splen.
a
so tat the South may grow in pros
pcrity. in farm life, in home life and in
neighboThOOds.

interesting talks and demonstrations
are to be expected. The old fireside

been completely lost. Rag carpets,

1t is indeed very fortunate that the
great Armory in Louisville happens to
have a number of rooms which can be
used for small sectional meetings dur
ing the Conference of Farmers and
Business Men, and that it is quite
close to the Auditoriums of the Seel-
bach and Henry Watterson Hotels.
There will be no lack of space in the
Armory itself or in its large balconies,
for all the demonstration work that
will be used. In fact, so many huge

Held in Louisville Really Is For.

A program built with experts from
the various departments of the State
and National Government, is naturally
quite an easy matter. To go out over
the country and find people who are
really doing things in their own com.
munities, is quite another proposition.
This has been the task which the men
who are handling the Conference for
Farmers and Business Men have set
for themselves this year.

One of the most interesting men OF
this type in the whole United States is
Walter j. Shuford, of Hickory, y. G.
He is one of those men who evidently
dreams wonderful dreams. then rolls
up his sleeves and works hard to make
those same dreams come true Way
down in North Carolina Mr.. Shuford
saw how his friends and neighbOrs
were limping through life on a worn
out soil that would not seemingly sup
ply their wants. At last he found the
man he needed in Field Agent Con.
over, and they began work to interest
group of men in dairy proposition.
From a start that was made with
$500 joint promissory note with
which to finance the creamery. il has
grown year after year until last Octo-
Der, the total sales amounted to over
$40, 900. And it seems from the way
in which things are growing that their
cooperative organization will soon be
handling a business that will total
about 100000 a year.
One might write volumes about
what has happened down in Catawbs
Valley in that Tarheel country, but il
is enough to say that this man has
changed the attitude and viewpoint OF
county through his own enthusiasm
He will be in Louisville during the
Conference, April 1870. to tell his
own story and to demonstrate the
methods that he used to organize and
develop this tremendous business.

most of the Commissioners of Agri
