Mrs. j. H.. Shepperd, secretary of
the. woman's : auxiliary to. the Tri-
State Grain Growers convention, says
that the programme this year offers
even more interesting features than
last years which was so thoroughly
enjoyed by all wHbs attended. The
woman's auxiliary has been organized
but one year. Two years ago the
ladies held a special session at. the
A. G. and last year it was decided that
there was a field for a woman's auxil-
larry and one was organized. .
The attendance Of farm women
alone, last year numbered over 100,
besides a large number who attended
the sessions from the city. The in
crease over' the year before was be-
tween twenty-five and fifty, but those
! who are pushing the. movement feel
that when the farm women come to
a realization that it is their duty to
attend these meetings and secure for
themselves all of the up-to-date ideas
concerning a woman's work on the
farm, then the meeting of the auxil-
larry each year will be one Of the most
popular features of the tri-state con-
vention. 1t has been the policy Of
the farmers heretofore to leave the
ladies at home and attend h con-
ventions by themselves, but since the
demand for a Woman's auxiliary be-
came so marked the farm women are
attending the convention and find that
it is of a great deal of help to them
in home Improvement, sanitation,
chicken raising, gardening, etc. the
responsibility of which usually falls to
the m of the farm. r. .
The idea has been given out that
these meetings are entirely for farm
women which is not in the least true.
Mrs. Shepherd says that it is their
aim to interest the women Of the city
as we'll as those of the farm in country
Improvement and all who are interest
ed are cordially invited. No dues are
charged to attend this session and all
who attend are considered delegates
and in the discussions are given OPP
portunity to express new ideas and
improve old ones.
The inspection of the buildings at
the college will take up a large part
of the forenoon and there will be
splendid talks by two leading educa-
tors of. the state, Professor Waldron
and DR.. Van Els. Luncheon will be
served at noon free Of charge by the
domestic science class of the college
to out of town women only, so that
