through your columns to the pro-
grams of a number of organizations
which will be discussed at the Fifth
Annual session of the Texas Farm
ers' Congress, meeting at the A.
and NJ. College, July - and l6 in
elusive.
ANY one interested in the agricul-
turaI features of Texas, or concerned
in farming or farm life, cannot read
! these programs without a sense of
citation and surprise that such
wonderful and varied assortment of
subjects can be treated and by such
eminent authorities in a three or
| four day session of any organiZa-
! ton. The names of men appearing
upon these programs assure most
successful meeting, and appear up
on these programs by the consent
of the parties concerned, with the
confident expectation that each one
so listed will be present and will as
sist freely in the work of the Con-
gress. More than 100 people are on
programs.
One Of the most interesting fea-
ture of the congress is usually found
in the general session where all per-
4 - cd ora
together and discuss the most i'm
portant general subjects relating to
our agricultural products and well
fare. This part of the program is
not yet quite complete, but will be
sent you during the current week.

will appear before the general SEES
sion | mention DR.. S. A. Knapp, of
Lake Charles, La, one of the most

1t is sincerely hoped that great
many people will attend the congress

of 20 to 100 miles, as heretofore, con-
venient camping places will be pro-

space will not allow us to discuss
