Since that time the community has grown in many ways but the greatest growth and which possibly was the primary rea son for the club winning is the community spirit and coopera tion which was developed over the past two years. An example of this is the con struction of the community House which is nearing comple tion. Men in the community com bined their effort not money and went to the woods to saw timber. From here, they i went to a saw mill and swapped their time for the lumber mill operator to saw the logs. Then the lumber was dressed, by mem bers of the community club. At the building site, all of the work and construction has bet'n done by the Club members. In addition, the community was the winner in the SENC land Area as having had the hi ghest "increased farm income." Farmers throughout the Commu nity have shared ideas on impro ved farm practices. Efforts have been made to learn of the im proved and recommended farm practices. Once this information was obtained it was put into practice with the results bing increased farm income. , An example of what was done to increase farm income is seen in that 67 families . used chemi cals to cqntrol corn ini? for the first time thi vi-"- i"5 re$i of this ani teller, izing practices. 16 farmers in the community made oyer 100 i bushels of corn per acjt.
