 The following is a production of New Mexico State University. Every year men and women from across the state come to the campus of New Mexico State University for extension college days, a week of classes and activities and family finance, gardening, current family issues, leadership development and home improvement. In the early years, the school sponsored something similar called Farmers Week. Couples usually rode the train to Las Cruces and lived in aid on campus for $10 a week. The 10 hour a day program started promptly at 9 a.m., even when the schedule fell on New Year's Day in 1912. The program covered animal husbandry, soils, poultry, chemistry, engineering and biology. Each afternoon, home economists taught food, textiles, millinery and home decorating. For the early years, I'm Carla Aragon.
