its gates to two important bodies OF

/, sion. and the State Dairymens Asso-
citation. which will hold its annual
convention.
These bodies will hold joint sessions

Association. and 3. Morgan Shepherd,
secretary of the Farmers Institute.
are registering the members OF their
respective bodies as they arrive.
This WIFI be a busy day with the
Joint gathering. there being three ses-
a'ons. with programs that will run
the total sittings of the hodys up 20
eight and one-half hours. Every min
ute. however, will be full of something
we'll worth while.
The features OF the sessions will be
practical talks on practical themes by
practical men, who have learned by
doing. Half-baked, fine-spun closet
theories have given way to the wisdom
which comes of actual experimental
ton. Today that wetl-known and
popular Richmond farmer, Hon
George Ainslie, will welcome his
brother farmers to the city, and in
so doing will doubtless add to the sum
total OF agricultural information by
letting drop some OF his own agricui-
turaf lore
He will be responded to in fitting
manner by Joseph A. Turner. who is
both ce-president of the Institute
and president of the Dairyn,en's ts-
ISOLATION.
