ing relatives here. He formerly lived
In this county. Five years ago, when
Prof. French assumed his work in the
Austin schools, there was no alfalfa
raised in that section. 1t was an un.
known grass 10 the farmers there. The
agricultural classes of the Austin
schools do much demonstration work
and Prof. French had the pupils work
with alfalfa from the beginning The
results were almost surprising, the
grass thriving nicely. AS conse-
Quence the farmers near Austin be.
came interested, and Prof. French
and his classes went among the agri.
culturists and told them to raise and
harvest the grass. At the end OF five
years there are thirty.five farmers re.
porting rood crops of alfalfa, and there
will be many more to raise 1t another
