Farmers
Institute.
Not-with-standing tho unfavorable
weather conditions the exhibits in the'
various departments of the Farmer's
I nsltute were 'plentiful and of very
high order. ' Ttie committees had all
oerfortned 'their tasks in a most
thorough manner and everything was
readiness the first day of the Institute.
The Koontz tie barn looked Hko a
Foil rib of July picnic stand on account
" of tho elaborate, festive decorations.
The chickens, dncks, gccsc, and tur--keys
displayed were handsome speci
mens of their species and anyone could
' see that Webster county is the home
of the poultry tribe. The cattle shown
in this barn were beautiful animals
aud caused many a person to exclaim
that they had not expected anything
so fine. The display of hogs and sheep
while limited in number was of a very
high character and merited the unstin
ted praise it received.
Over at the Bailey tiebaru the entire
east side of that large structure was
given over to horses and mules. And
uch animals! Their shapely forms
and glossy coats were beautiful to see.
There was not an animal there that
would not Improve the exhibit of any
state fair. The representatives of the
state University expressed themselves
as being highly pleased and greatly
surprised at the showing made. This
barn was likewise profusely decorated
and presented a most charming appear
ance. The electric lights were placed
in just the right position to give the
-entire barn a home-like effect.
But the exhibits that delighted the
eye and pleased the fancy of all were
displayed in the Woodmen hall. Here
be labor of the field, garden and home
were spread out in all their beauty
and excellence. Corn, wheat, oats, in
fact grass and grain of all kinds, pea
nuts, pumpkins, and garden delicacies
a wonderful school exhibit, needle
work, cakes and cooking all testified
to the adroitness of the men and wo
men of this county.
MOSDlT EVENING
The 'opening session of the third
annual Webster County Farmers' In
stitute was held Monday evening in
the opera house, whloh was filled to
Its capacity by en enthusiastic and ap
preciative audience.
Prof. Beta's orchestra furnished the
music for the opening exercises, and
Rev. Cole, pastor of the Baptist church,
offered prayer.
A quartet of young ladles, composed
of Misses Mildred Fulton, Clara Bur
gess, Mabel .Buckles and Mrs. Pearl
timtth Thomas, entertained the audi
ence with a beautiful vocal selection
and were heartily encored.
Rev. George Hummel, master of
ceremonies, then introduced Hon. J. 8.
Ollham, who delivered the address of
welcome. Mr.' Gilliam was In a remin
iscent mood, and carried his hearers
back to the early days, some forty
.jeers ago, whan there was but one
frame building between Guide Rock on
the east and Orleans on the west. He
drew a vvid picture of conditions in
those 'days as contrasted with the
boundless prosperity of today. He re
lated numerous anecdotes of the pio
neers of the Republlcnn valley, telling
of the hardships which they were com
pelled to endure. The speaker then
spolce of the' changed climatic condl
tlonTdue'tb the planting of trees and
shrubbery, and contrasted the condi
tions in this county with those in Har
lan and other counties farther west,
whore a tree is a curiosity.
Clayton Holmes and Paul Throne,
two very youthful vocalists, rendered
a pleasing selection aud responded to
au encore.
W. R. Jackson of Lhrboln, who was
to have delivered an address upon
"Doings and Results of the Pure Food
Commission," was unable to be pres
ent and his failure to appear was a
distinct disappointment to the man
agement as well as to the audience.
Rev. E. N. Tompkins, pastor of the
M. B. church, gave an account ot his
experience in raising onions in Nebras
ka, and offered many valuable sug
gestions. His experience had taught
him that the secret of success In grow
ing onions was in proper preparation
of the seed and then sowing it not
more than half an inch deep in sandy,
damp soil. Onion seed should be
scalded in boiling hot water, then
thoroughly dried (not baked) in a
warm oven. As a revenue producer,
he recommended onions of the white
skinned varieties, owing to their high
er market value.
Following Mr. Tompkln's address,
Mrs. E. S. Garber and Miss Josle Igou
entertained the audience with a vocal
duet whloh delighted their hearers.
E. J. Overing, Jr., who knows all
about chickens, was to have delivered
an address upon "Results From the
Care of Chickens," but his voice failed
bim and his place upon the program
was taken by .Rev. Cole, upon the
theory that preachers are also suppos
ed to know more or less about chick-
ens. Mr. Cole seemed to be partial to
the White Plymouth Rocks as the best
all around chickens one could raise
However, lie admitted that aotnsofltbe
smaller breeds were equal to the Bocks
as egg-produoers, and finally came to
the conclusion that the best method of
attaining success was for one to select
the breed whloh pleased him best, and
stick to it, using great care in "weed
ing out" hens that do not lay regular
ly. A fitting close to the evening's enter
tainment was a beautiful vocal select
ion by a large chorus led by Mr. Lora
Whltaker.
TUESDAY AFTEHNOON
F. W. Chase of Pawnee City and Earl
Harnly of College View were the
speakers at the afternoon session,
whloh was not so well attended as the
leotures merited.
Mr, Chase confined his remarks
pricipally to farm buildings, laying
particular, stress upon the wasteful
ness of the average farmer. He used'
