A very interesting program has been ar
ranged by the director of the Institutes,
DR. Richard S. Hill, assisted by DIR. H
~. Patterson, president of the Agricul-
1lral College. DR.. Hill will be accom-
panied by several specialists of the Ag

pd explain the following topics: Corn,
me, Wheat, Fruit, Poultry, Market
iag, Dairying, Farm Manures, Hay,
Grass, Alfalfa, and Live Stock. Any
other questions that persons in attend
|auce might desire information upon will
be readily and gladly answered. Every
one interested is invited to attend and
help make the meeting instructive and
Interesting. There is absolutely no
charge of any kind attendant upon these
lsessiors afvthe Farmers Institutes, as
Substantial sum has been set aside by the
College for this purpose.
1t is remarkable the progress that has
been made in intensive farming, hort
culturs, dairying, and kindred industries
in the last decade, and more respect is
held by the farming communities for the
opinion of experts in state and national
departments. The question only of corn
Led selecting, and its wonderful bene
is enough to prove the worth Of
uch that is written for the benefit of
Re farmer in agricultural matters. Farm
Magazines and government reports are
silly obtained, and contain much Of
neft and interest to the farmer, who
rtainly can not blame anyone but himself
be fails to take advantage of whnt has
en so literally supplied for his partic-
al needs.
The Farmers Institutes have done
1'pch to bring to the farmers through
I'd the state matters of great benefit to
EN- in their work, the total sum and
1bstance of which is the desire for more
foductivity on the farm lands of this
14 other states. Even now it can be
en-, with the great demand for wheat
IA the consequent rise in price. the
zcessity for greater land areas devoted
Ibis cereal, and authorities state, that
>zsn if peace should be declared in Eu-
30t, that good price will still obtain
1| bur valuable wheat harvests There
HAS been great shortage Of wheat in
ign countries, which we are fortu-
1s|ely able to supply from our over pro-
lion of last season, and it is to be
ed that the planting of last year will
|E<llt in abundant harvests the coming
&INbmer.
But all these things must lie read and
ined, and the lessons learned by the
frs of our soil, so that they can take
Pntage of opportunities that present
pselves. So it is necessary not only
now how to do things, but to know
EN- to do them as well, and we do not
pill any time where too much wheat
ever been grown in this country,
len though the price may have been
Low what it is today.
et those who can, attend the Farm
nrtitStes 1the different sections of
county, and give their cooperation
import to this very splendid move
