SClfc STUDENTS
BUILD MODEL
POULTRY HOUSE
Chicken House Erected as Part
of Class Room Work in
Agricultural Course
Ellenboro, June 4.—Recently the
students of agriculture at Ellenboro
built a model poultry house, 18x24
m
feet, for Charles Walker, a student,
as a part of their school work in
agriculture. The building was put up
during their regular 90-minute class
period.
The project served to make school
work more practical and interesting
to the boys. In putting down the
concrete foundation problems in de
termining the number of cubic feet
of sand, cement and gravel were
worked with a check on the actual
amounts of each needed to finish
that part of the building. There
were also problems in ascertaining
the amount of lumber and roofing
needed. Then, the boys got actual
practice in construction work. Know
ledge is obtained easier, retained
longer and is worth more when ex
perienced and put to practice.
This is the second model poultry
house built by the Ellenboro agri
cultural students as a part of their
school work within the last two
years.* Both have proved their worth
in helping to get more eggs in cold
weather when eggs are high in price, i
in addition to serving as models for
poultry house' construction within
the community.
