The making ADMIRED BY THRONGS DAILY Domestic Science Instructors of Woman's College Lectured Today The Farmers’ Institute and Fair have come to a successful close and everybody has been pleased with the addresses and the exhibits, and on every hand is heard the determina- tion to make the Fair an annual event, each year becoming bigger and better. This morning Prof. Spencer gave an interesting lecture on Forage and Grasses for Florida, and the discus- sion on this subject was led by Mr. A. A. Lewis, county demonstration agent. Prof. C. K. McQuarrie, state agent, spoke on co-operative demon- stration work, Its Scope and Pur- pose, and held the attention of his listeners, all of whom were greatly interested. . During the time the men were holding their meeting a large num- ber of ladies had gathered at the Board of Trade rooms, where they had the pleasure of hearing Miss Agnes Ellen Harris and Miss Mae L. Wells, of the Weman’s College, Tal- lahassee, deliver lectures on Domes- tic Science, the former taking as her subject “Meats and Best Method of Preparation,” and while she spoke she demonstrated, thus® giving the ladies a ‘clearer insight into her methods. Miss Harris gave a lec- ture on the various kinds of foods, and how each should be prepared to get the best results, and the ladies were greatly interested in all she had to say. Miss Harris is in charge of the Domestic Science Department of the Woman’s College, and she talked so interestingly as to make all present desire to hear more, and all were glad to have the opportunity to go to the Herron theater this af- ternoon, where she spoke to the Woman's' Club and their friends. Miss Ruth Conibear, who is en- gaged in the tomato club work in DeSoto county, spoke this morning also, on Organizations in Rural Communities. Miss Conibear out- lined the work being done in the ad- joining county, and declared that the children were taking enthusias- tic interest in learning how to grow the plants and produce the fruit, and that the next step would dbe to form canning clubs. The Institute has proved most help- ful to all who have attended, as ad- dresses on topics of interest were discussed by leading authorities who have made such work their life study and it is hoped that such gatherings may be had more fre- quently.
