Striking Feature of the Meetings!
--Plans for January. I
•. -1-. 1 •, .w J. I
E. Kaufman, Sec. Farmers* ttilti
tutes: The conductor of the farmers'
institutes handed me some notes re
garding the December institutes with
a request that they be elaborated and
given The Forum.
About, the only change I have made
in the notes handed me by Mr. Gfeeley
has been to include something of the
speakers and the various subjects treat
ed by them.
The farmers' institutes have beert a
success from the opening meeting at
Fingal oh Dec. I to the last session at
Wahpeton, Dec. 19. At times the
weather was severe and stormy but
not a single afternoon or evening ses
sion failed to materialize on this ac
count. Many of the meetings were
large and the halls crowded but in
some of the more sparsely settled sec
tions and a few times when the weather
was unfavorable the attendance Was
small. Even in the latter meetings
those in attendance frequently came
long distances and were not only rep
resentative farmers but representative
men. The records show that about
1,635 different people, attended the in
stitutes while the total attendance at
all the sessions was nearly 3,000.
The interest shown by those present
was most encouraging to the speakers.
Many questions along with the person
al and local experiences of the farmers
added much to the value ofthe meet
ings. All kinds of stock growing at
tracted much attention and there seem
ed to be a general disposition to grow
more of it and breed and feed it bet
ter.
During this series of institutes M. F.
Greeley, editor of The Dakota Farmer,
acted as conductor and discussed the
questions of "Poultry and Economical
Meat Production." On the latter sub
ject Mr. Greeley gave particular at
tention to the growing and feeding' of
sheep believing it possible for the
North Dakota f&rmer to produce huit
ton fully as cheap if not cheaper ttyan
it was possible to make beef or poyrk.
He called particular attention to jfhe
wastefulness of allowing the sh£ep
feeders at South St. Paul to make sniall
fortunes out of North Dakota shiep
and North Dakota feed.
A. K. Bush of Dover, Minn., qis
cussed the questions of "Hog Raising"
and "Beef Cattle," using his own fariras
at Dover, where he feeds fr6m fifty? to
100 head of cattle and 100 head of hefgs,
as an illustration.
The subject of "Dairy Husbandry"
was covered by L. D. Stilson of York,
Neb., apractical dairyman of that state.
Much interest was shown in this sub
ject at various points along the Soo
and in a few places creamery meetings
were held at the close of the institute
with indications that there will be a
number of creameries built in the early
spring. Mr. Stilson paid particular at
tention to selecting and testing the
SURETY
BONDS
for persons occupying
positions of trust.

cows for the dairy and brought out the
fact very clearly that feed and care
should not be neglected if larger prof
its were expected.
"The Draft Ijorse" for the North
Dakota Farmer, His Care and Man
agement," was thoroughly discussed by
E. S. DeLancey df Valley City. Mr.
DeLancey is a new man in farmers' in
stitute work but with the large fund
of valuable information at his command
He was able to present the subject in
a pleasing and interesting manner to
the farmers. The institute board has
noW made arrangements with Mr. De
Lancey to accompany the corps the
rest of the winter.
Q. A. Thompson, superintendent of
the Edgeley experiment station, dis
cussed the subjects of "Rotation of
Crops," "Soil Moisture," "Tillage," etc.
These with "Forage Crops" and "Pas
ture Grass" seemed to be of the great
est interest and brought out the most
questions and experiences.
It was also a surprise to note the
interest in potato and corn growing
and still a greater surprise to the in
stitute corps to see the corn and po
tatoes grown. Mr. Bush, being a
practical potato grower handled this
subject in the best possible manner
which never failed to elicit interest on
the part of the farmer.
At the Milttor institute Mr. Horton
reported a yield of 240 bushels to the
acre while at a' number of meetings
yields of 150 and 200 bushels were re
ported. In a number of instances po
tatoes were exhibited at the institutes
that were simply perfect, besides being
absolutely free from rot or scab of any
kind. The Early Ohio and Hebron and
other standard varieties were the kinds
most frequently found, although "Hun
dred Fold" seemed to have the greatest
yields to its credit. Mr. Horton's po
tatoes were all of this variety. The
corn grown and ripened this trying
corn year was a surprise to the entire
institute corps. At many of the insti
tutes samples were exhibited that would
have done credit to almost any corn
section. The corn brought into the
meeting at Wahpeton was exception
ally good.
Ears of dent corn fully ripened and
over one foot long were included in a
number of collections.
The entire institute force was unani
mous in its praise of the interest and
enthusiasm shown in this series of in
stitutes and their treatment by the
farmers in attendance. These meetings
promise to be of inestimable value to
the state and the interest in the work
is rapidly increasing.
Another series of meetings begin
Jan. 4 and will continue until the Grain
Growers' Convention opens. The
speakers will be M. F. Greeley, con
ductor, assisted by Mrs. Bertha Dahl
Laws, and Messrs. A. K. Bush, E. S.
DeLancey, T. A. Hoverstad and Col.
R. A. Wilkinson, the Shorthorn and
Hereford breeder of Crookston, Minn.
This is a sample of the letters re
ceived: Barney. N. D., Dec. 19.—
Farmers' Institute Board, Fargo, N.
D.—Gentlemen: We take this oppor
tunity to express our thanks and ap
preciation to you, for the valuable fund
of information meted out to the peo
ple of Barney and vicinity by the insti
tute speakers. These gentlemen in
turn, gave interesting and valuable
talks along their respective lines, cov
ering farming, stock raising, tree cul
ture, etc.
The institute, which is new to this
immediate locality, was a marked suc
cess, and has been followed by many
flattering remarks by our farmer
friends and the desire seems to be
unanimous, for a repetition of the in
stitute here during the year 1904, We
don't wish to be selfish but it is our
candid opinion that much good can be
done in this vicinity through institute
work and we trust you will give our ap
plication for another meeting to be held
here next year careful consideration.
Again thanking you for the courtesy
extended in the meeting of Dec. 16, we
beg to remain yours very truly,
A. Kressin.
