FALLS COUNTY SHORT COURSE

       Falls County Negro extension workers, J. W. Smith and Mrs. Lessie G. Smith, had a most successful and instructive short course.  December 4, at the Marlin Baptist Church, a most enthusiastic group of men and women met to spend a day of intensive training.
       J. H. Williams, Negro county agent from McLennan County, gave demonstrations in treating trees for borers and lice.  Other demonstrations were given in scrapple making by Mrs. M. J. Campbell, Negro county home demonstration agent of Mexia; castration and diseases of live stock by Dr. E. B. Evans, veterinarian at Prairie View College, and J. H. Williams, county agent of Cameron.  Poultry diseases were discussed by Mrs. J. O. Conner, Negro home demonstration agent of McLennan County, and Prof. H. S. Estelle, district agent.
       Mr. Purdue, in charge of the milk plant in Marlin, in company with Mr. Snyder of the plant in Waco, gave instructions in cheap milk production and invited the farmers to supply milk to the plant.
       M. V. Bradshaw, president of the First State Bank of Marlin, spoke to 300 people at night.  His talk was based upon economy and saving, purchasing land and becoming an asset to the county.  He advised us to buy land when it is cheap and said, "Now is the time."  Mr. Bradshaw is untiring in his help to Negro farmers and gives every encouragement to every progressive movement started in the county.
       H. S. Estelle, district agent, acted as master of ceremony, introducing Mr. Bradshaw and C. H. Waller, who spoke on "Live at Home, "Making a living for the family and livestock rather than making money."
