T OF
FARMERS' INSTITUTE
For some months the Philoma
thian club had been correspond
ing with Miss Dora Ross for the
purpose of getting her to come
to Estancia to lecture and demon
strate cooking for two days.
Last week they received word
she would be with them March
16. It appears that other parties
had arranged for five lectures
for that date including Miss Ross
wnich was earlier than her ltin-
ery called for, and made it im
possible for her to stay but the
one day, but will return later in
the spring to give the demon
stration. The talk at the Baptist church
in the afternoon described the
Smith-Lever bill and what the
Extension University was doing
for women. She urged the wtf
men to make use of the Univer
sity by writing for any informa
tion they wanted in Home Eco
nomic work.
A round table discussion fol
lowed. One lady wanted to know
what to do to get rid of the spot
ted bug that comes by the mil
lion and destroys the cabbage
and numerous other plants. An
other wanted to know what to
do for the little worm that eats
the green beans. These ladies
will receive literature on the
subjects with the formulas for
sprays and just when to spray
to eradicate such pests.
