ers-Farmers Should Attend
The annual institute of the Brook
ings County Farmers Institute Asso-
citation will be held in this city Tues
day. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
and Saturday of next week, five big
days of good things for the farmers.
An especial effort has been made this
year to make the institute interesting,
useful and practical, and the farmers
of the county are urged to attend. This
work-and there is a lot of work con-
nected with getting up an institute
has been done with the sole pur-
pose in mind of benefitting the farm-
ers and their wives. Helping the men
to raise bigger and better crops and
the women to do their work easier
and find farm life % pleasant. Now,
it is up to these farmers and their
wives to do their share by attending
the meetings.
The program Is an interesting and
varied one, containing addresses that
will appeal to everyone, and the speak
ers are the best to be had, good prac-
teal men who know the conditions
under which the farmers work and are
able to tell them how to better their
conditions. The speakers include a
number Of professors from the State
College, as well as several well known
agricultural experts from the sur.
rounding states.
The state institute corps, under the
direction of Superintendent Stoner
will be here the first two days. Mr..
Stoner's corps is an unusually strong
one this year and these two days
should be profitable.
The program for the next two days
was arranged by the local institute as.
ISOLATION and it will be good.
Last but by no means least comes
the Commercial Club day on Saturday.
The club has had a committee at
work on the program for this day for
some weeks and they promise some.
thing out Of the ordinary.
Two special days for the ladies on
Wednesday and Thursday, will be
given, and interesting programs of
especial interest to women have been
prepared.
On the first day the farmers and
their families will be the guests of the
institute association at dinner, and on
the last day the Commercial Club will
entertain the visitors at noon. The
ladies will also be served lunch on
their days.
