lowed by discussion on diseases of
farm animals, the day proved to be
one of the most interesting of any

marketing he crop, utilization of by
products, care of spraying machinery
and many other aspects of the fruit
raising business. Much interest,
judging by the attendance, was man
ifest in this subject.
Friday forenoon was taken UP
with discussions and demonstrations
of the breeds and management of
poultry, particularly the breeding of
poultry for egg production.
Friday afternoon all and every
one attended the meeting devoted to
a conference on Rural Life subjects
President Brannon addressed the
meeting first and was followed by
Rev. Mr.. Warner and others who
presented their different view points
in a very instructive manner.
Saturday forenoon was perhaps as
interesting as any half day session
during the whole week. Mr.. Chris
Hagan of the Hagan & Cushing Co. j,
gave q demonstration of meat cutting
both from the retail butchers and
Wholesale packers standpoints. Mr..
Hagan handled the the subject in a
highly interesting manner and gave
much valuable information about the
various cuts of meat from all the
principle meat producing animals
Mr.. Hagan paid the Domestic Science
departments of both the U, and Mos
COW high school high tribute in tell.

when he first entered the retail meat
business in Moscow years ago.
Several conferences were held by
members of the Extension Depart
ment of the University and mem
bers of the department of Agricul-
ture from Washington, D. c., that
were of great value. Many subjects
were taken up and discussed particu-
larly along the lines of the work of
County Agents and future plans for
such work.
So far what has been written has
been from personal experience and
observation during the past week as
it was not possible for the writer to
attend all the meetings. From all
accounts the meetings given every
afternoon during the week particu-
larly for Housekeepers and those
who intend to become such were very
we'll attended and much benefit de-
rived therefrom.
The evening meetings, particular

ing pictures of Idaho's varied indus
tries were shown upon the screen,
we're very well attended and much
satisfaction expressed about them.
Too much credit cannot be given
% the faculty of the University and
to President Brannon and
Professors Iddings and Jones for the
and execution of the
elaborate and instructive program.
Many expressed themselves as being
paid many times over for having at
