FAR]\IERS' CLUBS. 323 



ing the local secretaries to report yearly to the State Secretary. This 

 report to incorporate the following: Number of meetings held during 

 the year; average attendance; whether or not associational questions 

 are discussed; number of old and new members, and the names and ad- 

 dresses of the officers, also that printed sheets be furnished the clubs by 

 the association for this purpose. 



I should like to call the attention of the club members to a plan for 

 increasing our membership, in which judicious notices are to be inserted 

 in the small local papers, advocating an organization of farmers, and 

 asking anyone so interested to correspond with the Secretary of the 

 State Association. 



Upon which the Secretary is to notify the organized club nearest the- 

 locality sending this request, to appoint one of their members to meet 

 with and assist in organizing the petitioning club. In this way the 

 opportunity of attending a farmers' club will be in reach of all. ' So let 

 us never grow weary in well doing, for we know we will then succeed 

 if we do our work cheerfully and well. 



MRS. GEO. AUTEX, 



Secretary..
