New State Officer Proposed for Farmers Institutes in Iowa
A movement to create a superintendent of farmers institutes may begin before the next general assembly. Wisconsin and other states already have such an officer and Iowa may follow.

Dairy Commissioner Wright supports the idea and urges organizing institutes in counties lacking them, noting only about 60 counties currently have institutes.
