 Interest

| Auburn, August S.-tSpecial )-The Farm CTS Summer school was brought to a close at noon today by the distribution of the prizes for animals and for judg- | ing, and for all other contests. 1 feature of the school has been the attendance of ladies and girls from the farms at the demonstrations and lectures each day on home economies and domes- tic subjects Mrs ". W. Mcclure Mo bile, conducted this work assisted by Miss Hanss of Birmingham. The work was largely confined to instruction along the lines more suitable to farmers wives and daughters. Another notable feature manifested by the effects of the school was the exhibition of live stock and con tests for the prizes. Twelve years ago when this work began there were no mule colts, horse colts and very few pigs and chickens were brought to con- test for prizes. but at this session of the school there were more good horse colts. mule colts. brood mares, dairy cattle, and beef cattle on exhibition than ever before. These animals gave ample evidence of the possibilities of live stock in Alabama under unfavorable con ditions.
 Lectures by pr. Cyril c. Hopkins. Bal timore. were well worth the time and expense incurred by every farmer who attended the Auburn school Every county in the state was repre- scented and several of the surrounding states At no time was there lack of interest or want of opportunity for farmer to get knowledge to improve him self in methods and to learn something along the various lines of agriculture Following is list of those men who were awarded prizes:
