The Boxville Farmers Club.

On Friday evening, March 3rd,
was held another very interesting
and profitable meeting of the Box
willie Farmers Club.
The weather being ideal on this
occasion the attendance was url-
usually large. The proposition Of CO.
operating with the Commercial Club
of Warren in the construction Of a
gravel road from the Swedish Luth-

men COMING
TO WARREN

Four advance agents of prosperity
will visit Warren next week, March
15 to 18. These are representatives
Of the Agricultural Extension Divi-..
sion of the University Of Minnesota,
who are coming to Warren to take
part in the Farmers Short Course to-
be conducted here according to plans
made by the local short course COM.
nittee. This committee consists Of
President, Fred Peterson, secretary,
M. L.. Warner; treasurer, G. a. Mel
son; with L. o. Munger as chairman
Of special committee on agriculture,
and Miss Vera Baker as chairman Of.
a similar committee on home eco.
nOmics.
The speakers from the Agricultur-
al Extension Division Of the Univer-
sity are genuine boosters. Knowl-
edge is power, and they are purvey-
ors Of knowledg such as is power
full in promoting prosperity. John
Bower will talk on farm buildings
and live stock. A. B. Lathrop will
discuss farm management. I. M. Nc
Call will talk on farm gardening.
Miss Bess M. Rowe will treat Of
child welfare, home nursing, foods
and cookery.
It will be seen from this program
that attention is being centered on
certain definite things. The farmers
of Minnesota spend $2O,OO0OO0 a.
year on farm buildings. Scarcely a.
farmer lets a year go by that he
does not build or make some changes.
Every farmer ought to get the bene-
fits of the practical discussions which
will be offered here next week. Farm
management means putting farming
on a purely business basis; organiz-
ing it SO that it will pay an interest
on the investment as we'll as a re-
turn for the labor Of management.
This is a study that is bringing pros
perity to scores and hundreds of far
mers, who, before they got hold of
the idea, felt that they were playing
a losing game. Farm gardening is
a subject that too many farmers
have neglected. There is something
worth knowing, and what this some
thing is will be learned next week.
The child welfare, home nursing, and
other home economics lectures will
be of utmost Importance Through
these, the lives. money and human.
happiness are being saved. 81
Lectures will begin in the morn
ings at 10 o'clock, and in the after
moons at $50. The afternoon work
will close in time to let the farmers
get back to their chores.
