	FARMERS' CLUB. Organized around 1860, the group met locally to discuss agricultural issues and make recommendations to each other. In 1861 a display of Dubuque County fruits and vegetables by the Club led visitors to suggest that an fair for those products could be made alone. According to a report at the time, the display resulted in hundreds of people planting apple, pear, plum and cherry trees and others ~~to cultivate~~ gooseberries and strawberries. An editorial in the ''Dubuque Herald'' commented 'Dubuque County farmers should be ashamed at not having orchards' when one merchant the previous year had sold over $20,000 worth of apples 'from abroad' in four months ~~the previous year~~. The newspaper went on the advise its readers to attend the meetings of the Farmers' Club on alternate Saturdays and to raise something to exhibit at the state and county fair in the fall.

	Ward went on to describe how a farmers' club working cooperatively could purchase a pure-bred bull at a meeting. He suggested that asking the children to help with record-keeping including the amount of milk received from each cow and the amount of feed each consumed. Records of butter fat in the milk should be kept. Each record would serve to decide which cows should be culled out of the herd. In regions raising potatoes, farmers could readily see which varieties could be raised profitably and ensure buyers of volumes needed. A similar plan could be developed for nearly any crop.
