of the Wolf Patrol, and Johnny

The Panther Patrol will go on a
one-night camping trip Friday af

Mr. Smith says it is going to be
necessary to regrade and widen

he constructs meadows in all the
ravines. He runs his rows and
plants his crop so that he can
cross these meadows with his cul

turns around. He says that cross
ing the meadows one time saves
turning around on the meadow so
less damage is done by crossing.
These meadows are sown to tall
fescue.
