Moving pictures were used to illustrate different points where possible. The Course was held in the School J House, and had an average attendance of forty-thr ee, which would show that keen interest is being taken in this section of the district in matters per- taining to farming. At the close of the Course the ladies provided lunch, after which a Social Evening was enjoyed by all present.
