Oklahoma Cif, April 3, 1911.
' The Farmers' Institute is
practically a new educational in
stitution, being only about h
quarter-of a century old, but
y ung as it is, it is the motive
power from which revolves the
most progressive farming. We
say revolves, for it is not by *ny
means on a standstill, hut lust
as the motor power in our cities
propels the strpet car, factory,
lights, and even the smoothing
iron, so does the Board of Agri
culture and A. & M. College
reach the everyday farmer and
his family through the medium
of the Institute
I I repeat;, the institute is mere
I l.v a vehicle belonging to the
Board of Agriculture and A &
M. College for conveying im
proved agricultural truths to
farming people; a disseminator
of agricultural information to
tho-e who, without its uid will
be compelled to seek a living in
j some other rccupation.
It is clearly recognized by
everyone, from the highest to
the lowest, that the tilhgeof the
soil is the natural and oiost desi
rable occupation of men, to
which every other is subsidiary
and to which all else must in the
end yield, as the first requisite
The Farmers' Institute is
merely * traveling school of agri
culture that teaches the latest
and best plans that science and
practice have discovered and
brings it to the practical farmer
in such a way that he cannot for-
get it and liasuch a form that he
will be able to apr ly it. It is the
>ffic al agent for rural better-
ment; it stands for rural pro-
gress and improvements; and it
brings t > thiB rural community
new ideas and urges upott lheW;
the importance and benefit to be
derived from puttihg them into
practice That they reed an
awakening, it is not necessary
t > argue or prove. The demand
for products is rapidly increas-
ing, hence we need increased
production. We want to bring
to them the actual res ilts of im-
proved agricultural prafetic;
what men have done and the
methods by which they succeed
ed, and thus introduce more eco
nominal and- lucrative methods (chart)
through rural com m unities and | "The Love of God "

A School Surprise,
Friday, April 7th, being the
last day of Sunset graded school
the patrons and friends from
Sunset and surrounding districts
planned a surprise ani%dinner
for their proficient t<achers,
Arthur Turner, Principal and
Paschal Suns, assistant.
At 12 M. a procession of pos,
sibly 200 people headed by the
Sunset Brass Band inarched
from the Sunset store to the
school building and demanded
entrance. With them they
brought well filled baskets and
soon twoemmence tables were
groaning under their weight of
good things. " The pupils of
the school were served first after
which the many visitors and pat*
rons feasted till they could eat
tto more. t
After the remnants were gath-
ered together, which we think
would more than have filled the
12 baskets in the Biblical* story,
Prof. Henson, principal of Twin
Mounds school arrived with hi^
entire enrollment who assisted
Sunset and the band with their
Program.
Last came the 8ad good byes.
Every one felt that a joyous and
prosperous yeftr had em"-d and
therefore were not slow to ex-
press their thanks and apprecia-
tion of the satisfactory efforts of
our most excellent teachers. We
trust that our association of the
past year may have been of bene-
fit to our teachers as their ass
ciation has been a benefit to us.
