Farmers Institute Department
Oklahoma City. April 5. The Farm
ers' Institute Is practically a new edu
cational institution, being only about
a quarter of a century old, but young
s it is. It is the motive power from
wblch revolves the roost progressive
farming. We say revolves, for it is
not by any means on a standstill, but.
Just as the motor power in our cities
propels the street car, factory, lights
and even the smoothing iron, bo does
the board of agriculture and A. &. M.
College reach the everyday farmer

and bis family through the medium of
the institute.
I repeat the Institute Is merely a
vehicle belonging to the board of agri
culture and A. ft M. college for con
veying improved agricultural truths
to farming people; a disseminator of
agricultural Information to those who,
without Its aid, will be compelled to
seek a living in some other occupa
tion.
It Is clearly recognized by everyone,
from the highest to the lowest, that
the tillage of the soil is the natural
and moist desirable occupation for men,
to which every other Is subsidiary and
to which all else must in the end yield,
as the first requisite.
The Farmers Institute is merely a
traveling school of agriculture that
teaches the latest and best plans that
science and practice have discovered
and brings it to the practical farmer
In such a way that he cannot forget
it and in such a form that he will be
able to apply It. It Is the official agent
for rural betterment; It stands for
rural progress and Improvements', and
it brings to the rural community new
Ideas and urges upon them the im
portance and benefit , to be derived
from putting them Into practice. That
they need an awakening, It Is not nec
essary to argue or prove. The demand
for products Is rapidly Increasing,
hence we need Increased agricultural
practice; what men have done and
the methods by which they succeed
ed, and thus introduce more economi
cal and lucrative methods through
rural communities and make known
to the farmers the advantage of edu
cation for the farmer; to point them
to the A. & M. College, the experi
ment station, the agricultural depart
ment, as reliable sources for informa
tion.
Then the Woman's Auxiliary Its
motto is to make the home so pleas
ant and beautiful that the boys and
girls will not want to leave the farm
for pleasure and enjoyment.
We are receiving many inquiries in
regard to the Institute work and find
a deep Interest manifested in these
things which make for a higher and
more wholesome country life as well
as a more lucrative one.
Through the 'Junior Clubs" the
A. & M. College hopes to show by
practical demonstration which does
not interfere with them having another
plat in connection with this, to enable
them to compete for any prize that may
be offered that the farmer should se
lect his planting seed with as much
care as the stock raiser selects his
sires and dams with which to begin a
herd.

Farmers' Institute? If not, why? Have
you solicited anyone to Join? If not,
