REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF FARMERS' INSTITUTES. 



To the President: 



The institute year now closing has been marked by a number of 

 special features and by the interest and greatly increased attendance 

 noted at the various meetings that have been held in the state. 



As required by the law under which the institutes were established, 

 county institutes have been held wherever there is a regular organiza- 

 tion for the purpose, except in Monroe county,* from which the invita- 

 tion came too late to receive attention. In addition to the above there 

 has been much greater call for one-day institutes than ever before. 

 The number asked for was so great that owing to lack of funds a con- 

 siderable reduction had to be made. As compared with the previous 

 year the attendance at the county institutes was 65,285 in 1905-06, 

 while in 1901-05 it was only 49,425, an increase of more than thirty per 

 cent. In the case of the one-day institutes the per cent of increase was 

 even better as.it amounted to 42,376 in 1904-05 and 57,154 in 1905-06. 



In nearly every place where the meetings were held, the reports from 

 the state conductor and the officers of the institute society expressed 

 themselves as well pleased with the success of the meeting. Reports 

 to the effect that "it was the best institute ever held in the county"
