This espiiciatly applies to farmers institutes and in communities where they are first held it is with Rri'gt effort that even a fair attend ance is had, bat by the time the sec ond or third iuHtitats is held ins place the farmers take the geatest in terest in its sessions and they and their wires and sous and daaghh-ra .are out in force to profit by the new, practical ideas that are to be gained from the addresses and discussions. Tha scries of instil aes held in Jose phine county last September Intro--duced this practical school of modern . agriculture to the farmers and so . aroused tbn Interest of thoe that did attend that they and many of their neighbors are now planning to attend the series of institutes that Dr. Withy combe and associates of the State Argiooltural College will hold tbis month in the county.

The social honr that it will afford will give add' d iliasure to the dy for the farmers and their wives, rmu.v of whom live in isolated valleys, to be come better acquainted with their dis tant neighbors.
