My 'Possum Hunt , (Girls' $1 Prize Letter) QNE night during vacation one of our neighbors and his son came over to our house to go 'possum hunting with papa and my brother George. Papa said I could go if I wanted to, so we started out with three dogs. We walked a long time and by and bye we sat down to wait on the dogs. They started up a 'possum and ran it a little ways and then they seemed to lose it. They soon started It up again. They ran it a long time and then treed it. We started to them and were walking along not thinking of anything but the 'possum when Papa fell Into a big branch and broke the lantern globe and we were in the dark. When we got to the dogs they had treed the 'prssum up a large dogwood. We made a torch and papa climbed the tree and got it by the tail and brought it down. We took a piece of hickory and split a place in It and put the 'possum's tail in it. Papa put it over his shoulder. We had gone but a little way when we found we were lost, so we sat down. We had asked Mama to call us at a certain time so we sat there until Mama called and we knew where we were. We were nearly home when the dogs treed again and so we got another big 'possum. RUTH S.

My First Experience Seining (Boys' $1 Prize Letter) ANE evening not long ago after we had fed up the stock and got in our wood for the night father told me if I got up as soon as he did the next morning he would let me go seining with him. Mother had our-breakfast prepared by i o'clock, and by 5 o'clock we had the seine in the wagon and were on our way to the river about eight miles away. Four men went with us. By 7 o'clock we were pulling the seine up and down the river. We got lots of fish by 12 o'clock and after we had eaten our lunch we put the seine back Into the river. It got hung in roots and debris and had to be taken out. To our surprise we found four large fish in it when we did get it out. After this we had good luck. Father and I got home at 9 o'clock and sat up scaling fish until 11 o'clock. OTIS RICH (14 years). Garland, N. C. A Pig Club Experience I AST spring Papa told me I could join the pig ciub if I wanted to and he would give me a pig and furnish the feed. I began to keep a record of my work on June 8, 1918. My pig weighed 80 pounds at the start. During the first month she cost me: 46 Vi pounds corn, at 2&c 'HSl'f 3 pounds peas, at 2c .07 5 hours labor, at 10c o- Pasturing 30 days, at 3c 16 gallons slop, at 3c $3.11 At the end of the month she weighed 110 pounds, which gave me a gain of 30 pounds in 30 days. The second month she cost me: 50 pounds corn, at 2c... 12 pounds of peas, at 2V,c 80 gallons slop, at 3c..... Pasturing 30 days, at 3c " 5 hours labor, at 10c &w $3.85 At the end of the second month she weighed 156 pounds, or a gain of 46 pounds.

Lucas, Executive Secretary, U. S. Food Ad ministration, Raleigh, N. C, renews for himself and four tenants, and writes as follows: "No farm owner who has tenants of the slightest intelligence can afford not to have The Progressive Farmer sent to them. I would send it if the subscription price was five times what it is." We receive thousands of such letters every year from the South's progressive farmers and farm owners, who find that it not only pays them to read The Progressive Farmer, but that it also pays them to have their tenants read it, too. IT WILL PAY YOU' to read The Progressive Farmer yourself during the next twelve months, also to send it to your tenants. LOOK AT THE LABEL on the front page of your paper, and if your subscription expires this month or next, now is the time to renew, as well as to send in the sub scriptions of your tenants for the year 1919. - 1 subscription $1.00 2 subscriptions 1.50 3 subscriptions 2.00 5 subscriptions 3.00 THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER: Enclosed find $ for which renew my subscription to THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER from date of expiration.
