These meetings were highly specialized in character as will be seen 

 by the foregoing programs. The purpose of these meetings was not only 

 to instruct those engaged in the special lines of work in question, but 

 also to awaken a more general interest in the lines of agriculture under 

 consideration. As was expected, the attendance was not large, ranging 

 from 150 to about 300. The interest in all these meetings was excellent,' 

 however, and it is believed that much good was accomplished in the way 

 of emphasizing the importance and profitableness of specialization in 

 agi'iculture.
