Of this Institute the Grass Lake News said : " The Farmers' Institute in this 

 place, which held its first session Monday evening, and wound up Tuesday 

 evening, can be denominated a success in every particular, and has no doubt 

 been fruitful of much in the way of information on agriculture. Grass Lake 

 is pretty well advanced when it comes to agriculture, as it contains some of the 

 most successful farmers in the State, and for this reason they are not slow to 

 take hold of a good thing when it comes along, and make it a success. In 

 respect to the Institute, they were more than successful. The ladies, too, were 

 largely represented, and contributed their presence at all the meetings. The 

 hall was crowded at all the meetings, and the interest increased to the last. 

 On Tuesday night many were turned away on account of the crowded house, 

 even all available standing room being taken up. The papers and addresses of 

 Prof. Merritt, L. L. Hall, Mrs. Mary Hitchcock, H. A. Ladd, Martin Haynes,. 

 Wm. Ball, Lewis Palmer, were each and all good, practical and entertaining. 

 An enjoyable feature of the meetings was the excellent music with which they 

 were interspersed. Altogether, the Institute was an interesting one, and it is. 

 believed resulted in much good from the practical discussions indulged in, and 

 the mutual interchange of opinions and ideas." 



Such of the papers as were entrusted to the Secretary will be found by refer- 

 ence to the index.
