7d Annual rei'out of xfaEE oee. t)oc. 



CONCLUSION 



This report would be incomplete without acknowledging the val- 

 uable service rendered the Institute Work by the press of the State 

 both secular and agricultural in publishing dates and places where 

 institutes are held, giving list of speakers, and in fact most of the 

 county papers have published many of the addresses in full, thereby 

 presenting to the farmers who were unable to attend meetings the 

 teachings of the institute. Our County Chairmen of Institutes are 

 growing in efficiency year by year, so that we have today an able 

 Board of institute Workers in practically every county of the State. 

 The demand for institutes and movable schools of agriculture are in- 

 creasing year by year, and in like proportion the adoption of methods 

 advocated by our instructors are becoming more general. In order to 

 enforce and encourage better methods in farm pursuits, we should 

 be supplied with a corps of permanent workers whose business it 

 would be to counsel and advise with the farmers of the State rela- 

 tive to soil conditions as adapted 1o various lines of farming, dairy 

 management, horticulture, poultry and market gardening. 



Yerj respectfully, 



A. L. MAKTIN, 



Director of Institutes.
