Washington Institute Welcomes Farmers to Town Session
The first session of the farmers institute in Washington opened with W J Brooks presiding and a large crowd at the Commercial club gymnasium. Prof Everett L Stewart spoke on soil fertility and crop rotation, stressing nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, and the value of clover and alfalfa. The evening featured Rev U S Smith describing travels and farming abroad with humorous observations, while cattle and hog feeding discussions followed the next day led by C A Brook, with a silo talk by Mr Muncie of Des Moines and a chorus by High School girls.
