FARMERS INSTITUTE ASSOCIATION.

In October of last year a meeting was held at Purdue of the State Workers of Farmers Institute, and this new organization was adopted. At our last institute in this county a committee was appointed to investigate the constitution and by-laws, and they have reported favorable. Any one over sixteen years of age can become a member upon paying an annual membership fee of not less than twenty-five cents. This fund is to supplement the State fund, and the larger this supplement fund the more good can be accomplished in this county. The fee need not be paid until the next annual meeting. Cards will be issued by the Secretary and her assistant upon application. We should like a memship of two hundred in this county. s..
