eflgriculture. CDepartment This is the Hrst year that Agriculture has been featured in our high school. Mr. L. C. Litchfield has interested more than hfty young men in his depart- ment. It is hoped that this course will be continued throughout the. following years. To develop keen interest and make the course as interesting to the students as possible, a club was organized. The aim of the club was to interest boys in working with and owning land and livestock. To be producers and not parasites. i A A number of the boys are working on land projects during the summer. A very profitable and pleasing summer' is the forecast for them. The land that is being rented for the summer is plowed and prepared for the boys to plant their crops. Some are interested in raising chickens and have their projects and poultry purchased. This will be as worthwhile way to spend the summer for the Board of Education is giving a prize of four hundred dollars to the best kept and most prohtable project at the close of the summer. Other prizes have been offered that are worth while working for. The members of the club have been devoting much time to the cleaning and beautifying of our school campus. A lawn has been planted around the front of the building. The boys have worked very hard on this part-of their work. The land was carefully leveled and raked to prepare for the planting of the lawn. A temporary fence has been erected until the welcome blades are well above the surface. Improvements of this kind are not easily forgotten, and great credit is due the boys. It was through Mr. Litchheld that 3 C was erected on the hills above the school. Many enthusiastic students supported him in this undertaking. They have also pruned the trees of several orchards for individuals who desired the work done. This has given them valuable experience and helped with their training. The stock judging team consisting of Ronald Erickson, Merrill Peterson, Kean Westphal, and Linnius Petterson, took part in judging at the State Fair, Ogden Stock Show, and the Salt Lake Stock Show. Although they did not make a remarkable record they made an encouraging one for amateurs. A Page Fifty-If e
