Farmers' Week in Agricultural College. 283 



The references are all bulletins that can be obtained free of charge. 

 If your seciretary will write me for material, I will send this to you as 

 \ ou have need for it. 



AVlien there is business to come before the club, the business should 

 follow the program. Any business left over from a previous meeting 

 should be considered first, then new business. Try to do business in a 

 parliamentary way, even though the business is a small matter. "With 

 everyone talking at once and no order a business meeting becomes a 

 long drawn out affair which never reaches a conclusion. 



To have a pleasant and profitable meeting, refreshments are not 

 a necessity, but should you wish these, the number of articles to be 

 served should be limited to two or three. Remember, the principal 

 objects of a home makers' club are not eating and embroidery. 



There may be times when it will be advisable to have an extra 

 meeting, as when you have an opportunity to get some special speaker 

 to meet Avith you or wish to incite your families or friends to a social 

 evening occasionally. 



The State Library Commission would be glad to loan such clubs 

 a collection of fifty books for the transportation charges. These 

 charges are small. The books may be kept six months and returned. 

 They may be on various subjects or along s]3ecial lines, for old or 

 young, as you wish. 



Your secretarj^ should keep in touch with other clubs of like pur- 

 pose in the State. This can be done through the office of the State 

 Board of Agriculture. This will enable us to send all club members 

 such new printed matter as is of interest to them. 



Too many things in this world are left for someone else to start. 

 If you have received inspiration from this Home Makers' Conference, 

 start a club in your own community. Ask your neighbors in to spend 

 the afternoon. Talk it over together. Organize. With your hearty 

 co-operation, we can hope for great improvement in the farm home 

 and farm life in Missouri this year of 1911.
