INSTITUTES TO
BELIVE ONES
Local Problems, Songs and
Snappy Speeches
Planned

Radical changes in the methods
of holding farmers institutes where
by women will have more of a show
and the sessions thrown open for
general discussion of the agricul-
tural problems of the district in
stead of a crowded program of ex-
perts of various kinds, have been
determined upon by Secretary of
Agriculture Frederick Rasmussen as
the result of the conference of insti-
tute managers held at State College.
The Secretary said that the prop
osition was to cut down the num-
Der of meetings thirty per cent be-
cause of the lack of funds and to
increase value 100 per cent. Co.
operation of State College has been
assured and county farm bureaus
and other agricultural bodies will be
asked to be represented on the COM
mittees in charge which will be Civ
en- large measure of home control.
1t is even possible that as a result
of past experience and present con-
ditions that there may be one day
meetings only and that morning
sessions will be abandoned. Local
talent will be encouraged. but the
State experts are to be given time
to present their subjects but dis
cussion and application of advice
to local farming conditions will be
made a feature.
Two new features will be personal
work among men who may be bene-
fitted by Institutes so that they will
come to the meetings and requests
for newspaper cooperation, espe-
cially by inviting men with prob
lens to attend institutes and ask
advice, and the assignment of men
familiar with the agricultural trou-
bles of each community.
Another feature will be singing.
At the conference of the county
managers there was considerable
zest added to the meeting by COM
munity singing and each man in
charge has been asked to send a
couple of songs to the secretary SO
that they can be printed and sent
around. Singing livens up things
especially if the songs have some
go to them I have found and we are
going to try it out" said the Secre-
tary. Every community has some
good singers among the farmers
We're going to ask them to help.
The institutes will begin in the
early winter when outdoor work is
over and be held at places easily
accessible.

second base; Jacob +. Taylor. third
base; William Q. Anderson, short
