A New Creamery To Be Started In Ann Arbor

FARMERS' INSTITUTE

SHOULD DRAW A BIG CROWD FEB. 15 AND 16.

Beet Sugar Will be Discussed and Many Agricultural Authorities Will be Present.

The State Farmers' Institute for Washtenaw county, as lias been previously announced, will be held in this city Feb. 15 and 16. Arrangements for it are being perfected and a few of the details can now be given to the public. The institute will be conducted by Prof. Smith, the head of the experimental station of the State Agricultural College and the man appointed by the secretary of agriculture to look after the culture of sugar beets in this state. At the first session he will read a paper on "Sugar Beets," a topic which is just now of great interest here. Unless the subject is altered on the second day he will speak on "Lamb Feeding." Mr. C. P. Goodrich, of Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, the great authority on dairy questions will speak at two sessions of the institute. He will speak on "Feeds and Feeding for Dairy Cows. ' ' Dr. G. A. Waterman, a former Salem man. the head of the veterinary department of the State Agricultural College, and President J. L. Snyder, of the Agricultural College, will also read papers. Mrs. Ella Rockwood, of Flint, will also be here to address the woman's section. The woman's section will be in charge of Miss Jennie Buell, of this city, secretary of the State Grange. The woman's section will hold two meetings.

The sessions of the institute will be held in Newberry hall, which will permit the men and women's meetings to be carried on in the same building and at the same time. It is hoped that everyone will make an especial effort to attend these meetings. This county has not made for itself the best of records for attendance on farmers' institutes. The state pays the expenses of the speakers and Mr. Butterworth in writing to Mr. F. E. Mills concerning the institute says:  "I Hope you will have a very large and enthusiastic institute. To tell the truth the Washtenaw county institutes for the past two years at least have not been as large and enthusiastic as the agricultural importance of your county and the intelligence of its farmers would demand."

The only way in which the state round-up at which famers are present from every county in the state, can be secured for Ann Arbor is to make this institute, which is a kind of a test, a success. Every farmer who attends it will be greatly benefited.
