The vast area of rich lands in Texas,
her splendid climate, her generous
laws and her warm-hearted citizens
constitute a firm base upon which will
be erected from year to year a COM
monwealth of unprecedented prosper
ity. The instruction given in her agri-
cultural colleges and the research
work in her experiment stations will
be carried to the people of the rural
districts. Already the work of organi-
zation has begun and instruction and
demonstration in agriculture and home
economics in conformity with the pro
visions of the Smith-Lever bill, will
inaugurate the work of popular edu-
cation of the working farmer. Surely
the good people of Texas must see an
immediate and urgent need for this
work among the people "furthest
down" All the arguments In favor
of extension work among any people
anywhere apply with greater emphasis
to the Negro farmer.-Wade C. Rol-
Inns, in the Houston Post.
