Farmers Institute Held Amid Snowstorm Attendance Dips
The Farmers Institute in this city drew strong turnout on the first two days but attendance waned Saturday due to a Friday night snowstorm. Speakers from Ames and Des Moines discussed silos, hog cholera, horticulture, and rural resources with demonstrations, readings, and music. Officials elected for next year and the program highlighted poultry, dairying, and farm modernization events. A royal slave promotion at the Opera House March 14th was announced.
