Excerpt from Bureau of Farmers' Institutes: Report for Year 1902 Honorable Charles A. Wieting, Commissioner of Agriculture, Albany, N. Y.: Dear Sir. - It gives me pleasure to hand you my report for the year 1902, together with some of the papers read at the meetings and a few of the question box discussions. The attendance during the past year has been fully up to the average and the interest manifested in the meetings has never before been equalled. Nearly 1,300 applications for meetings were received and 250 meetings of 1,118 sessions were held, with a total attendance of over 90,000. The addresses and discussions have covered a very wide range of agricultural thought and labor. In fact, all branches of agriculture which are being pursued in New York State have been covered by specialists and experts in the localities where the various interests are most prominent. The subject of good roads has been taken up by various members of our institute staff as well as by Honorable Frank D. Lyon, who was detailed to us from the State Engineer's office, and the Higby-Armstrong and Fuller laws have been fully explained in various sections of the State. The interest which the farmers have taken in these lectures has been very marked. Ofttimes they have objected to addresses on good roads, when offered them, but without exception I believe they have been interested and at the close of the meeting have been thankful that the subject had been so thoroughly discussed before them.
