A NOTABLE EVENT
FOR LAKELAND

The farmers institute and fair to
be held in this city next week will
undoubtedly bring many people from
all parts of Polk county to Lakeland.
We have many farmers in this coun-
ty now who are distinctly of. the
progressive kind. They realize that
old, stationary methods do not pay
and that farming admits of devel-
opment practically unlimited and is
profitable in proportion to the in
oreasing knowledge and skill of the
farmer. This knowledge is to be
gained only through experiments
with the various soils and seeds and
is greatly facilitated by discussion
and the. interchange of opinion.
To encourage such experience
meetings among the farmers these
Institutes are held, and it is worthy
OF note that wherever farmers insti-
tutes are most popular and best at
tended there we find the best grades
of farmers and the most profitable
agriculture. Good men who are in
telligent enthusiasts in the great
fvocation of tilling the soil are in
charge of the institute and fair to
be held in Lakeland next week ant.
we confidently expect large at
tendance and a profitable meeting.
Concerning it the Jacksonville
Times Union says:
"A farmers institute and fair is
to be held at Lakeland next week,
beginning Feb. 10, and continuing
through Feb. u. An excellent pro-
sram has been arranged and large
attendance is expected from all over
that section. Lakeland is one of
Florida's prettiest and most pro-
gressive cities. and the visitors will
