The training of time young buy- i> therefore of grvale-t importance. ine chief purpose for which voca tional agricultural schools are being e> lablisheu is to give these bojs the proper training concerning the busi- ol '** miug, Ma, l} people do not look upon agriculture a* a basinets, but it is just as truly a business sl any other vocation in life. lliere are two tiungs which niak. agriculture an important subject in «ur high schools. First, it is our lean mg in.lu.Miy in North Camluia so fai as the nu»rj of people are coricetnet. {secondly, nio-t of our high school , boys in rural schools naturally are to be found »n the farni. Mere is a great opportunity for this Iwy to receive UH- (raining at home which mill best lit or prepar.- him for bis life's work. In the class room he is taught the tneory about a certatn phase of farming and then he goes to his home farm and puts this theory into practical use. It is at thi. t> pe of school that he learns to se lect the br>t ear> of seed com so that he may more than doube the > lelds of corn on his farm. The tvpe of 2nst.uct.lln is ju!te I varied in this course of study. It con isists first of regular recital on p. rto.l | followe! by a aboratory period and [in addition to this two periots are given per meek to field periods. There is probably some boy around Oak City who has wanted to attend the stale fair at Raleigh. but ha iiever had the opportunity. -To tins I box v ocational agncutture offers a itx. He has the op (iff the /,^l-, I crops judging contest held m North [Carolina. In thL. contest there wnl be [over eighty-five schools in North 'Carolina represen'eiL There mill l«e [two separate trams of six boys each. 'Oak City will be represented there [with two teams These contests are ! open to all taovs taking agrrcultuie | but only twelve can I* chosen. ISovs it is up to ion to be one of these twelve. ,The trip, however, is of minor mi port alter as compare I to the training which vou will he:e receive. Another oppoitumt \ whioi vocation - al agriculture «tf«-rs is that it gives that bu> who may MKJ# go to an agri cultural college better training to en ter a college of this kind, and to the high school boy who connot go to college a training lo would otherwise not receive. Vocational agriculture is not only far boys but gal- ate permitted to take these cenirse.-. such as a course iu poultry which might interest ooie girl who keeps poultry on the farm. From rrcnnh sent out by the Sta'e j Department of Vocational Education lit has been clear!} shown that tln yiebls per acre of certain field crops were twice as much on farm.- where the vocational agricultural st intent bad bis five or eight acrfs of corn as corn parol witb his father in growing some field crop on the same farm. Where «ioe» the difference in yield come. It may be due to better cul tural me! h«»l-. better seed corn, tieep er plowing. more fertiliser or mam other causes. Horn ever, this may be the point is where did he get this in . formation. It may have been in his pocatunsl elass room It is hope*! that every boy interred in vocational agriculture will take advantage of this opportunity- It takes two things to make a mdl loumtrd fanner.
