Edna Westbrook Trigg was Texas' first home demonstration agent.
She began her career in Milam County in the year 1912.
Mrs. Trigg coordinated, organized and supervised Girls’ Tomato Clubs throughout the county,
and gave practical demonstrations on the production and canning of tomatoes.
Milam County Girls’ Tomato Clubs coordinated with area
