to the purchase of field seeds and
fertilizers and dealing with diseases
of stock and other questions of ma
terial Importance to farmers. The
central thought of his address was
''co-operation that really cooper
ates." If the sentiments which he
expressed were really inculcated in
the minds of the farmers generally,
they would 70 a long ways toward
remedying many great and growing
evils in the county.
Other speakers of the day were
Mr.. w. +. Travis. of Beaver Dam.
who ably discussed the question of
County Farm Agent; Mrs. Helen b.

F. Grimes, whose subject was Pub
lie Roads. Several of the speakers

One of the most interesting feat
ures of the Institute was the large
number in attendance. Farmers
from swidely different sections of the
county were present and took very
active interest in the proceedings.
The subject of County Farm Agent
was discussed freely and the prevail
ing sentiment seemed to be in favor
of havih; the Fiscal Court of Ohio
county appropriate funds sufficient
to engage a competent man for that
position. Not dissenting voice
was heard against the proposition
the proceedings. Quite
a number of persons who attended
brought exhibits of products of their
farms. which added good deal of
interest to the occasion.
A keen interest was manifested
on the subject of Boys Corn Club
and Pig Club. and Girls Tomato
Clubs. 1t will be seen from the
above list that several individuals
and several business firms of the
county contributed to the prizes Of
fered the boys in their Corn Club
contest. This spirit of encourage
ment on the part of business and
professional men Is to be felt all
over the county. and in several sec
tons of the county men have en-
pressed themselves freely as being
willing to contribute to the encour-
agement of the Boys Corn Club for
the coming year. This movement
seems to be taking on renewed
and more intense spirit. both of pro-
and aggressiveness. and
the Ohio County Boys Corn Club
bids fair to become one of the lead
ing corn clubs of the State.
The success of this Institute is
due largely to the persistent and un-
firing efforts of Judge John b. Will
son. who contributed literally of
both time and money to arrange for
the meeting and bring to it men and
women of talent and experience To
take part in the program.
