POLITICS NOT ALLOWED AT THE FARMERS’ INSTITUTE.

Editor Republican —We see in last weeks issue of the Pilot, an article upon the sul jects to be discussed at the Jasper county Farmers* Institute, and in his article he leads off on matters that are, more properly speaking, political in their nature. The writer signs himself “A Farmer.” Now were Farmer writing about some subjects to be discussed at a public meeting, his article would be all well 'enough, but the rules governing these institutes positively prohibits political discussions in any way They are for the purpose of discussion as to the way to secure the best results from crops, the different methods of preparing the soil, of planting and tending after planting, and statements as to the results that the best methods might be adopted. So every farmer should be present, but must leave his politics at home, as it will positively not be allowed. David H. Yeoman, Pres. C. D. Nowels, Secy.
