Hotel haywood at noon today and laid
| plans for the coming farmers insti

and 10th. Nearly every town in the
county was represented at the dinner
and there was lot of good fellowship

an especial interest in the big show
to be pulled off in Kenosha and in the
decidedly interesting though informal
discussion of plans which followed the
dinner city and county joined in work
ing out plan for the institute pro-
| gram. The directors of the Institutes
/ at Madison have arranged to send to
Kenosha men who will give Kenosha
county farmers discussions on questions
which they desire to hear discussed.
| The Kenosha men are to make up
their own program. Of course, the city
members of the committee are plan
ming to arrange for lot Of added
features and these will be announced
! after the program is over. Men from
the towns showed an interest in pure
bred seed corn, in dairy problems and
in problems Of interest to the men who
have gone into the new fields of rails
ing sugar beets, onions and cabbages
and all of these questions will have an
| important place on the program.
There is also going to be the usual
discussions on how to build and care
for silos and the proper care Of cattle
in order to make them most profitable.
| There will be sessions arranged by the
women for the women and it is prob
able that these programs will be
worked out by the women them
selves just as the men were working
out their program today.

country towns are showing the real
sort Of interest in the grain display
this year and every one Of them is 60
