FARMER
Institutes Increase In Size
And Number

Over one thousand meetings, of an
agricultural nature, we're held in Ohio
from December I, 1918 to March 10,
1914. This remarkable record was
never before equaled in Ohio or any
other state.
In number, attendance, and interest,
these meetings touched high water
mark. In numerous instances the aud
ience had 10 be divided, as no one hall
in the town was large enough to ac-
commodate
The class of instruction given at
farmer Institutes and extension
schools was of high order and tho
rough. Rural lecture courses are
more popular and numerous. Farmer
clubs are more frequent. The spirit
of community centers is growing.
The chasm between farm folks and
town people is almost closed up.
Merchants, bankers and professional
men now think it worth while to be
identified with agricultural promotion
work. The junior contests In Ohio
are leading the way to better methods
of farming and living.
The funds available do not enable
the Agricultural Commission to sup.
ply all demands made for lecturers
and rural instruction work.

As the Episcopalians failed TO have

the first game went the forfeit route

former filled In with substitutes and
lost the decision 28-6.
The second game, between the Con

was the best contest of the evening.
Getting off to good start it looked
like sure thing for the Vine street
church, but the Congregationalists
by up hill work Overcame the lead
and finally won out. Score 14-10.
