en- Things That Make Farm
Life Worth While

The best ever was the verdict OF
those who attended the Neptune far
mers' Institute this year, and those
who attended were justly proud OF
their 26th annual institute
The plans both for program and
contests were carefully made and
faithfully carried out, The officers,
with the cooperation of the people,
were able to do great lot toward
the bettering Of the institute.
The speakers were certainly very
well posted and being practical farm
ers, knew whereof they spoke.
Live Stock and permanent agricul-
ture", by c. +. Funk, was certainly
well delivered and then followed by
a general discussion, led by Charles
Severns.
Cooperation by the Farmer" by
c. IL. Swan, was a subject which was
very well suited TO this locality as we
have already awakened to its advan-
tages thru the grange and were in a
very receptive mood.
G.. S. Nuding led this discussion by
a very good talk on the advantages
of the cooperation elevator One Of
these is in operation at Rockford, an
other being formed at Oregon.
Soil Improvement. altho an of
ten discussed subject, was responsible
for a good deal of discussion and en-
lightment.
"A Message from a Hayseed," was
auentiyely listened to by a full house
in the evening and was conceded to
he the best lecture of a sentimental
character ever given here. The
speaker often touched on the temper
ance questions and was generously
applaudcd.
The subject, Water in the House"
was given place to a lecture by Mr..
Moore, on Community Welfare"
Then came one of the most live,
reasonable and practical lectures OF
all, THE Neglected Busy Woman"
by Mrs Luelia Bar Mckee. This
subject was widely discussed and in
the lecture water in the home was
given 4 great deal OF emphasis. This
branch of the subject was given am
pie attention and some very good
points brought forth by Lester Pres
ho, S. K. Copeland and others.
Poultry for Profit" was very in.
teresting to the poultry raisers and
was given its time and attention with
a discussion led by Miss Cynthia New
comb.
This programme was inteTspersed
with splendid music by the Neptune
Grange Orchestra together with solos
by Miss Hedrick and McClelland
Flowers.
The primary and intermediate
grades of the Neptune schools fur
nished splendid features of the pro-
gram for which their teachers are to !
be given credit as well as the grades |
Following the rendition of the pro-
gram the prize winners in the contest
work were announced. BY the way
this contest work is one of the finest
parts of TIE institute adm will had
