The question Of adequate probate
laws came in for a liberal discussion
with Judge ]. a. King, 7. F. TEN
pie and Quentin D. Corley partci-
pating in the discussion.
The subject Of narrow tired was-
ons was given closest attention
throughout discussion by Judges
r s. Dove. G. W. Fryer and Z. M.
Cory.
Good and helpful advice was Civ
en- by Judge Jesse NJ. Brown of Tar
rant county as how best to reaeh
and convince the farmer that farm
demonstration work was needed. He
undertook to point out the many adj
vantages gained through this branch
of agricultural work and talked at
length upon the success met with in
his home county.
lanes NJ. Chapman of Ellis county
talked on this same subject saying
he assumed that any county with
sufficient population should have the
demonstration work He said ii was
lust as essential to have a KNOW
edge OF the business of farming, il
one would follow it for profit, as II
was TO have knowledge of law or
n
doctor. He said he believes that to-
dav the farm offers the greatest OPP
portunity for almost any man. lie
said most any man could eek out
an existence on a farm but that IL
took q brainy man and an agricul-
turally educated man to make mon
ey on the farm.
In reply to this talk Judge t. +.
Temple of Parker county said 1t was
a sad knowledge TO him to know that
many commissioners were opposed to
farm demonstration work because
they thought they knew more about
farming than the demonstration
agents. He said If these same COM
missioners had made real success
of farming they would not be com
missioners, he rather thought their
failure to make success OF farm
ing put them in the Office they held.
About Training School.
Mrs. Z. w. Bounds, member OF
the board of control Of the Juvenile
Training school at Gatesyille, was
present and introduced by Judge
Denton for few words. She said
she soon became interested in the
board work after her appointment
by Governor Colquitt as a member
and that she has always answered
the call when the school needed her
to go some place. She was sum-
moned by Davis r. Hall, cairman OF
the board, to come to Waxahachie
to attend this meeting, and said she
was here without any special purpose
in view other than to tell about the
training school work. She said she
had a natural interest in good roads
and good agricultural methods, but
her heart was in the training school
work. She wanted the county judges
to feel an interest in the boys they
send to the school, She said she
first thought the greatest possibili-
ties would be with the small boys
sent to the school, but finds that 1t
is the larger boys with whom real
reformation is worked. The smaller
boy goes back into the same home
and environments and soon drifts
back into the evil ways, but the
larger boy oftentimes determines to
make the home right and be right
himself. She pleaded with the judges
to aid such boys in their efforts to
become better men.
Next Place of Meeting.
There is a fight brewing for next
place of meeting with Greenville and
Mineral Wells contesting for honors.
There is a delegation from Green
Vile and they announce they have
come to take the convention home
with them. TIE secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce said it would
be Greenville's purpose to begin
right now and advertise the meeting
and make the August assembly the
largest in the history of the asso-
citation.
The election of officers is not
creating any great big excitement be-
cause it is realized that practically
any one of the members would make
good presiding officer.
