business. The rules and regula
tions may be as rigid or as elastic
as the members may decide, and
yet the association of farmers
will surely be the foundation of
positive improvements. Each
member will naturally desire that
the results of his farming opera
tion be superior to others, and a
friendly effort to excell will be
come the rnling purpose.
The meetings may be weekly,
monthly, quarterly, semi-annual
ly, are only once a year.
Often, or infrequent, the mem
bers will compare experiences,
talk of methods and results; the
plans of selecting lands for the
several crops; the mode of prep
aration ; the kind of manure and
how applied; the choice of seeds,
the best way to plant; the most
affective and econonomical style
of cultivation: how to harvest and
to save. Each will learn of the
others, and all will strive c to pro
duce the best. 'Then, the wives,
daughters, sons, sisters, joining jin
the meeting, will add social"pleas-
ure to the association, developing
and strengthening social good
will, giving pleasure a prominent
position in the association made
for business improvement. These
periodical gatherings would render
smothe the rough places of man
ner, speech and action, improving
and refining as the elements of
mutual friendship become united.
We would be glad to note the
formation of a farmers’ club in
every district of Houston county.
