has been necessary in carrying out
their project that certain manual acts
be attended to and thru doing these

It has been necessary, in carrying

Each member of the Civitan Club
can pat himself on the back because
his club has sponsored this day.
Each member can stop and think
back over the season and answer a
few questions.
1. Did I really care what these boys
were doin?? Did I ever ask just what
boys were enrolled?
2. Did I ever ask how the project
of any boy was developing?
3. Did I ever visit any of these boys
and give them the encouragement of

acres are being grazed with damage
to the woods and a waste of) the cat

Of this number, 3 report no woods
pasture, 10 others report less than
half oft the woods in pasture; 6 graze
more than 50 per cent of their woods
and of these, 8 have all their woods in
pasture.
Grazing the woods is a BAD FARM
PRACTICE. Cattle tramp the soil,
cut up the leaf litter eat off all seed
ling trees and other ground plants,
encouraging erosion and qujck run
off of) rainfall. Grazing prevents re
production of the forest, encourages
evaporation of soil water, causes
drouth, followed by dying of many
shallow-rooted hardwoods. v
Check up these conditions in your
