OF the state to be held at Columbia
July 20, "a and rs will be given sucl
a royal welcome and entertainment
while here that there will never BIZ
any thought OF the Institute bein,
held elsewhere in the future. Pans
for such guarantee as this are being
made by committee of Columbis
and Maury county business men ant
farmers.
To make the entertainment of the
visitors what 1t should be 1t will be
necessary for every home in the city
and vicinity to be thrown open to
them. The delegates and visitors will
come on their own expenses and will
expect to pay reasonable charges for
lodging and meals, but the hotel and
boarding house facilities will not be
sufficient to accommodate the 1000
or $500 men and women who will be
here for the three days. Perhaps
one-third of the visitors will be from
places near enough to permit them to
drive here in their automobiles and
return each night. But for those who
will come from distance it will be
necessary to provide accommodations
in addition to the capacity of the no
tells and regular boarding houses.
In order to have arrangements for
the accommodation of the visitors
systematized, committees will make
house to house canvas to ascertain
what homes will offer beds and lodg-
ing at a reasonable rate.
Besides the committees that have
been appointed for making arrange
ments. the Maury County Farmers
Institute will be expected to assist
in the preparations and to take an
active part in the entertainment of
the visitors. To that end it is expect
ed that a meeting OF the county farm
ers institute will be called at an early
date.
How can the farmers of Middle
Tennessee adjust their cropping and
livestock production to supply our
Governments food needs for the win
ming of the war;" will be the topic
that will dominate the program of the
Institute. ]. J.. Zaccarello is president
of the Institute, and G. J. Burlitt of
Antioch is secretary. The officers Of
the organization are preparing the
program with the war-winning idea
uppermost.
At the time Of the institute pre-
sentation ceremonies will be conduct
ed which will transfer to the Univer-
sity of Tennessee the experim entail
farm which has been provided for
Middle Tennessee by Maury county
Gov. Tom c. Rye will be the leading
figure of this occasion, and members
of the board of trustees of the univer-
sity, educational committees Of the
legislature and the county court will
have part in it. Delegates to the in
stitute will have the opportunity to
see the farm, although only the pre-
liminary work of experimentation has
been accomplished
The institute will give special at
tention to livestock problems, the Of
ficers recognizing that Middle Ten
nessee is peculiarly adapted to the
raising of fine cattle, hogs, sheep and
horses.
The places of meeting for the insti-
tute have not been finally determined,
but it is probable that the day SEES
sions will be held at the Columbia
Academy and the night SEES
sions at the Columbia High school
building, All details of this kind will
be announced later by the committee
on arrangements
This will be the greatest convention
that was ever held in Columbie or
anywhere else in Maury county ana
the people of the city and county will
have test of their ability to make a
big thing a success.
The committees on homes will make
a house to house canvass of their
respective districts and ascertain
how many homes will agree to ac-
visitors and delegates to
he Institute, charging reasonable
lee for the service Although the
homes will not be asked to furnish
meals, those who are willing or desire
20 do so will make known the rates
hey will charge for each meal Homes
outside of the city will be asked to al |
so provide transportation for their
guests. The committees on homes
