our people. Ourcounty is allot

our population; but by putting up
a strong argument and promis
ing to use economy, wo are
granted four more days which
will be used later.

Advisory work: and thereby
roach tho farmer id an indirect
and impractical wav. In view of
this coudition, tho County Chair
man submitted the following re
solutions which "vero unamious
ly adopted at each institute.
WUEKEAS, The Farmers' In
stitutes have beeu tho means of
assisting our farmers to a better
and mors profitable method of
farming and crop production, and
WUEREAS, The work of the
Farmers has been an inspira
tion in the upbuilding of the ru
ral community, and, believing
that this work should be contin
ued and enlarged; therefore, be
it
RESOLVED, That the Farm
ers and other citizens of Fulton
county ask, and insist that our
member of the legislature shall
work and vDte for an increased
appropriation for Farmers' Insti
tute worn, and also for the con
tinuance of Farm Advisory work
