The institutions of learning on the farm_are eventually to be a part of Letha Watts Memorial Univer- to be founded, and which will be named after Letha Watts, a girl who helped to found the Prisoners’ Relief Society. “We have found in 11 vears of dealing with ex-convicts that the only way to keep them out of ischief is to keep them busy,” said Dudding, and pointed out that it with this object in view that the farm will be operated. As a nucleus for operating the farm, plows and various Kinds of farm imple. ments have been donated by firms and individuals and are now in storage in the society’s building at 201 E street, awaiting the opening of the farm by the society.
