The cost was figured out to he ground f 10 per boy which includes travel, board and bed. The food is to he largely furnished by the boys and credited to them. It was decided to meet the fright of the first of August and make final plans and that each boy decide definitely by that time whether he granted to go or not. Mr. T.

The schools attending at this time are Farmer, Rich Square, China ! Grove, Stonewall, Roper, Greens Creek.

So if - you were a vocational agricul tural student at Farmer this past year get your bathing suit, fish hooks, baseball glove, and let’s enjoy the week. Agricultural Teacher Tells Of His Visit To Several Different Projects Being Carried On In The •' Farmer Community. George Vuncannon, James Johnston and Glenn Johnson have two acres each of pure Jarvis Golden Prolific corn doing nicely. All of these plots are so located that they will not mix with -other com and should furnish good places for local, farmers to hay *SK w. W. Lassiter, Everett .Moro ns, Glenn Lowe, Norman- Lewis, and Holton Thornburg are doing well with their pullets and if they continue to care for and feed them properly they should have some good winter layers. Mr. Madison Hammond took me over his place today. He has a total of 60 acres in red, and sweet clover and lespedeza. The sweet clover is a new crop in the community but is do ing fine except in a few spots where the inoculation did not take. His twenty acres should convert the com munity to planting more of this crop. He is side dressing some of his com and cotton with nitrate of soda. I believe that a side dressing of this fertilizer at the rate of 100 lbs. to ,200 lbs. to the acre on com from knee to waist high will pay big. Richard Rush, Harris Trogden and George Vuniannon are surely putting meat on their hogs. They are using Shay’s self feeder method. I under stand that Mr. Trogdon has put 70 lbs. on one of his hogs in 30 days, which is possibly no better than some of the others Ire doing if they had weighed their hogs lately. The price of com has advanced so that I doubt if it pays to grow out hogs for market now but this shows what self feeding will do and I am looking for some money to be made on hogs when they come back as they will surely do. Now is the time to grow out some gilts for brood sows while they can be bought cheap. I believe that these gilts will catch the high market on hogs. Good cattle are gradually getting into the community. W. M. Bingham, D. F. Allred, W. W. Lassiter, Elmer Bird and others have recently bought guernseys. Cows and pastures will help to make our community richer. —S. A. COOPER, Teacher of Agriculture. Geo. H.
