Talked With Farmers About Holding Institutes This Fall.

•Prof. W. C. Latta, of Purdue, came here the 4th of July and met a few farmers at the office of County Superintendent Lamson, and talked with them about arranging for some meetings in Jasper county during the late summer or the early fall. It is proposed to hold the meetings in various parts of the county, having several orchard demonstrations. The farmers will be asked to meet at some orchard and instruction will be given in the correct method of pruning and spraying. All questions about orchard development will be answered.

The money for the holding of these meetings is now in the hands of the auditor and there will be no cost to the individuals who take pari. This is a splendid chance to have some good meetings, probably three or four, and the farmers should not neglect it. Ira F. Meader, R. D. No. 2, Rensselaer, is the chairman of the Jasper County Farmers’ Institute and he hopes to have the, co-operation of all the progressive farmers of the county. Another meeting will probably be called before long to make plans for the fall meetings. Farmers should avoid indifference but be awake to their interests and permit nothing to stand in the way of getting all the instruction they can from these meetings.

"Salindo,” the human arc light, will appear at the Rex Theatre this eveniug. He made his first appearance there last evening, and those who were so fortunate as to be present, pronounced the show the best they have yet seen here for 10 cents. See the Rex ad elsewhere in this issue.
