Parks of Plum Branch ( Miss Julia Brown, was attending to business matters The Problems Of A Young Boy The writer has been asked to dis cuss in a weekly column of the Mes senger some of the problems and temptations which the boys of today meet. The appearance of this article is the result of the request. In these discussions we shall draw very large ly from the thoughts on, and treat ment of, this subject by Dr. Stall in his book called, “What a Young Boy Ought to Know.” This book contains unusually clear and satisfactory and tactful answers to the puzzling ques tions that enter the nrnd of a young chap. It is a book that would be an asset to any heme. It is quite natural that one of the first of a boy’s perplexities should be that of creation; the how and the why and the wherefore of life. From a knowledge of the things about us 25th Anniversary Of - - * F arm Demonstration Work Be Celebrated Was Inaugurated By United States Department Of Ag- culture And First Tried Out In Texas The 25th anniversary of the in auguration of farm demonstration work by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture will be observed in February, 1929, at College Sta tion Texas, where the Texas Agri cultural and Mechanical College has already begun preparations for a cel ebration. The first farm demonstra tions of improved practices under the direction of the department were un it seems leasonable to suppose that! ^ er ^ a ^ en * n 1904 in Texas and the all things must have a beginning and ~~ an end; fiom c<ur Bible, in which we as Cdristians believ^. we are given an account of the beginning and end of all life in our little world. We are familiar with the story of creation as given 'n the first chapter of Genesis; how God with His infin ite power mad? the earth, the sky, the water, the darkness and the light; how He called into being all living things, beginning with the lowest and ending with the highest, man. God fashioned with His own hands the plants and the animals among them man, whom He made in His own image to be a little lower than the angels. Now we know that to everyth'ng there is a beginning, or birth, and to everything tjhere is an end, or death. God, in order that He might not have to continually create, gave to every living thing the power to pro duce in kind, living things; so that each plant and each animal (man among them) keeps life going on earth by pioducing other plants and animals just like itself. This power of reproduction is an exceedingly wonderful and mysteri ous power and close akin to God’s ability to create things out of noth ing. In God’s act of creation there could be nothing that is evil; coming from God the privilege of reproduc tion which God has given to all liv ing things can contain nothing that is impure. From God nothing that is wrong has come into’ the world; the ability to reproduce is a natural and altogether beautiful gift direct from God and there can in no way be anything sordid about it. We can realize more fully the Godliness of this gift when we know that, even now, no man can completely explain or understand it. Today we have learned cf the beauty and mystery and Diviness of reproduction. Next week we shall consider the creation of the first man and woman, Adam and Eve. here tfne day this week.

Dates have already been fixed for a national meeting of representa tives from Department of Agricul ture and State extension services at Houston, Texas, during the week of February 4, 1929. The annual con ference for supervisors of extension work in the Southern States for that year will also be held at Houston during the same week. Announce ment has -been made, too, that the Association of Southern Agricultural Workers will convene in that city Febiuary 6 to 8. Other meetings of persons engaged in work related to agriculture will probably be held at the same place during the week of February 4 with programs arranged to peimit participation in sessions of the general anniversary meeting. The plan of extending knowledge of improved methods by supervised demo'nst ratio ns carried on by far mers on their own farms originated in the effoit of the Federal Depart ment to combat the cotton boll wee- v 1. In 1903 the department stated its belief that the most practical plan would be to “arrange to meet) the farmers personally and enroll as many as possible in a general co operative demonstration in which each farmer agrees to cultivate 10 or 20 acres of cotton under instruct tions given by the United States De partment of Agriculture.” The first field representatives of the department in co-operative farm demonstration, J. Evans and W. F. Proctor, were appointed in Feb ruary, 1904^ to serve a territory in southern Texas, and the anniversary program is /to mark this beginning. Mr. Evans has continued in the work and is at present in charge of co-op erative extension work for the Southern States and assistant chief of the Office of Co-operative Exten sion Work, United States Depart ment of Agriculture. Because of the success of the first demonstrat : on work in cotton grow ing, demonstrations in other lines of farming were added and more repre sentatives were soon needed to carry on the work. In 1906 the first agent was employed to work exclusively in one county, Smith County, Texas. Other States became interested, and in 1914 Congress passed the Smith- Lever Act which provided for co-op- erat'on betwen all of the State agri- jcultural colleges and the United KNOWLES, AND THE WEST^ ^ tate ?
