346 Twenty-Second Annual Report of the 



farmers' days 



As the table below shows, with the exception of Albion and 

 Schuylerville, the Farmers' Day meetings did not receive the 

 numerical support which the character of the program and the

 request for these special lectures had to be refused. Two places 

 where a series of special lectures were held are worthy of special 

 mention, namely, at Rome and at Perryville. The lectures at 

 Rome were given under the direction of Mr. W. G. Searles, Secre- 

 tary of the Chamber of Commerce. A series of nine lectures were 

 held, one each week, Cornell University supplying a portion of 

 the lectures. 



Perryville, Madison county, had a series of four lectures, under 

 the auspices of Rev. Feder C. Ether, pastor of one of the local 

 churches. In this case the lecturer spoke both in the afternoon
