EXTENSION MAN
10 AID SOLDIE
H. M. ELIOT, FARM SN OROMIST :
HEADS SCHOOL OF AG-
RICULTURE
CAMP TRAVIS SELECTED
Men Assigned There for Recovery
From Wounds and Illness Will
be Given Instruction in
Farming
H. M. Elliot, farm economist, of the
Extension Service, has been assigned
by that service to establish a school
of agriculture at Camp Travis for the
benefit © of the invalided soldiers
sent there to recover from wounds and
- The assignment grows out,
of the week’s institute and demonstra-
tion held there in September under
the joint auspices of the military au-
thorities and the Jewish Welfare
Board, which is aiding the movement =
to induce a large number of soldiers
to go back to the farm and become ¢
producers instead of consumers.
Mr. Eliot, along with many other
men from the Extension Service, the
College and Experiment Station, spoke =
before the institute, and in later con-
ferences with Major B. F. Pittenger,
chief
cducational director there,
he worked out the plan for the school -
of agriculture, which will continue
for from three to six months, as the =
demand for this character of instruec-
tion may direct.
The desires of the men along par-
ticular phases of agriculture and al-
lied subjects will be ascertained and. ..-
experts along these lines procured to . =:
give the needed instruction. The hos-
pital authorities believe the time of
the men can be spent much more
profitably in this way than in idleness
and some of the forms of recreation
| that characterize the army camps.
