Last Day of Farmers' Institute
Last wiek we gave the proceedings
at the I'ai hum's Institute up to Thurs
day morning. Thursday being pi ess
du, we woie unable to give the re
mainder ol the program. Thursday
was the big day. Fully five thousand
people wore in the city and a better
natured crowd was never seen Kvery
thing was otdcrly and quiet which
showed that the people were licit for
business and what they could learn.
The speakers sent out by the state
agricultural school were excellent
They gave detailed intoruiatlon and in
such a milliner that all could hear and
understand. Intensive methods was
the koy note of all their lectures. For
instance, in speaking upon the dairy
cow they showed that it would pay
am fariii.i' to build a silo and thus sc
cuic nt'iu ly all the nutriment of tlto

The lecture upon horses was perhaps
the best ever given on that subject in
the city. Many learned a great deal
about the horso and what was good in
hluMind what bad. Wo expect to see
an ImproNomont In horso flesh after
thin.
Miss Maxwell delivered soveral lec
tures to tho ladies On cooking and
canning which was most favorably
commented on by all who succeeded in
hearing them, Of courbe many of the'
older housewives havo had experience'
in cooking nutritious things to eat
but there were many in tho aiidionce

Perhaps thu biggest featilie id the

Next came pioneer preacher (1. W.
iliimmel without whom no parade in
this part of the country would be en
tirely a success.
Then came the men who arrived in
this country in 1870 and '71 as bache
lors. They had a iiiiiiature soil house
thru the chimney of which slowly
curled the smolcu as it did years ago.
The boys arc grey haired and older
looking now but they entered into tho
fun of this parade with their oldttmc
vim and vigor. Kven the slioit close
lino gave evidence of the Hinallnefs of
tho washings in the early days.
Tho boys of '71 bearing a huge grass
hopper on their shoulders were next
in Hue.
Unquestionably tlcir ieclings Thurs
day were far (intercut from what thoy
wcic when that black host settled up
on all the growing crops ami carried
awiiy tho eveiy sign of vegetation
V e cannot refrain from quoting a little
history here. "Tho (Irj spell con
tinued, and in the latter iiait of the
month (July) came tho grasshoppers,
and they stripped the held of every
growing thing. Some llclds of early
small main was saved, but that was
all. The Into wheat, oats and all the
corn was completely destroyed. Then
came a trying time tor the settlers.
Many of them, dlscoiiiagcd, and see
ing no way to live dining the coming
winter and until another crop could
be laised, lelt 1 lit- country, some fcof
them ucier lo icliiru. A huge num
ber ol the setticis iciuaiucd, however,
dcleiiiniii'd to try to live in some u..
and wait lor another years nop.
.Some of tlieiu were alilo to wait with
no daiigei ut siilfcriug il unaided, but
the most of them weic in desperate
ciiciiuistances. The biave ami uncom
plaining ninny ol the settlers must
have starved weie II not for help, con
sisting of provisions, clothing and seed
sent them so libcially by the sympa
thizing citizens ol other tuoie fortun
ate states.'
More than a bundled bcaiiiitul
hoises and iiiulcs graced this parade.
Tli. common icnuiik along the street
was'I did not know that this county
had so many beautiful animals. ' The
long hue ot automobiles bringing up
the rear of tiie procession vividl. cm
phasl.ed the great change that has
taken place since the sot I lenient of the
county. This parade represented forty
ycais ol hlstoiy and in it one could
read the story of a great development
a groat people.
Withal tho institute was an unlimit
ed success. It was interesting in
structive, and entertaining. Tho
ollicers in charge and the committees
who attended to (he work deserve un
stinted praise foi their painstaking ef
ficient labor.
