COUNTY AND LOCAL MEN'S ORGANIZATIONS. 



There are Farmers' Institute committees in all the counties in which 

 Institutes are held. The duties of the members of the committees are 

 to suggest places for the institutes, suggest topics for discussion, adver- 

 tise the meetings, look after the comfort of those attending the insti- 

 tutes, etc. A live chairman assisted with a live committee generally 

 have well-attended institutes. 



Farmers' clubs, local Farmers' Alliances and local Farmers' Unions 

 can greatly help the institutes by cooperating with the committees and 

 with the conductor of the institutes. I shall be very glad to have the 

 cooperation of all such organizations.
