C., June 24, 25, and 26, 1902 Furthermore, many of the counties raise funds varying in amount from $25 to $600 to supplement the State appropriation. Our meetings are very largely attended, taxing the capacity of halls to their full extent. The work of the institute is showing itself in improved methods of farm management, better grades of live stock, more care in the selection of seeds and grains grown, better home surroundings, more interest in education on agricultural lines. We have in Illinois, supported by these institutes, State and county domestic science associations, managed by the women of the State. These associations con duct sessions at State meetings and county meetings, and are an important feature of our institute work. They do much to increase the attendance of the younger people and to interest the entire family in the institute work. They are doing much to improve the home environments and home comforts and are a strong ele ment in the improvement of the rural schools. Some of the most practical and interesting sessions are those managed by the domestic science associations.
