The Farmers' Institute appears to have been an organization active in the early 1900s as part of the United States Department of Agriculture. The collection consists of about 100 lantern slides identified as having been created for lectures of the United States Department of Agriculture's Farmers' Institute. Slides for two lectures are included, with each slide identifying the lecture number and author(s), the slide number, and an original negative number of unknown significance. Most of the images depict farmhouses, but there are also images of farmland and people, as well as a sketch of a farmhouse and part of a poem. None of the images are credited or identified as to location.
