I8 EANDUR EHAPTER IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT WE LEARN T0 DO BY DOING, THAT THEORY AND PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE MUST G0 HAND IN HAND TO PRODUCE BALANCED AG- RICULTURE IN PARTICULAR. PLEASURABLY TO US AS A GROUP COMES THE SUMMARIZING OF FOUR PRACTICAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS PERHAPS THE LESS SAID ABOUT OUR SCHOLARSHIP THE BETTER. THE CANDOR TRAILBLAZERS HELD THEIR FIRST INVITATION STOCK JUDGING CONTEST ON OCTOBER I2, l939, THRILLED BY THE FACT THAT A DEPART- MENT GOING ON FOUR YEARS COULD BOAST OF BEING THE FIRST IN THE STATE T0 TACKLE THE VENTURE. THE CATTLE DEALERS OF THE COMMUNITY PRACTI- CALLY LOANED THEIR FARMS: THE MERCHANTS, MILL AND GARAGE OwNERS PUT UP THE PRIZES, AND ALL WAS IN SHAPE. TEAMS FROM BREESPORT, CANDOR, ITHACA, NEWARK VALLEY, NEwFIELD, SPENCER, VANETTEN, WAVERLY, ENDICOTT, AND OwEGO WERE REPRESENT- ED IN BOTH THE DAIRY AND POULTRY CONTESTS. ENDICOTT TOOK HOME THE CUP IN DAIRY CATTLE WITH BREESPORT SHARING HONORS BY WINNING THE PLAQUE IN THE POULTRY CONTEST. EVERYONE AP- OF CONCEIT, BUT THEN WHY BLAME THEM? CLIFTON RICHARDS WITH THE AID OF HIS SISTER PHYLLIS, BROUGHT HOME TO THE DEPARTMENT, OUR FIRST SILVER LOVING CUP. IT IS FIRMLY BELIEVED THAT MRS.DOC WAS OUR CHIEF INCENTIVE IN ENTER ING THE MUSIC CONTEST FIELD AND WE ALL HOPE SHE WILL LEND THAT HELPING HAND NEXT FALL WHEN WE HAVE OUR ANNUAL FAMILY BANQUET. WE HAVE FOURTEEN AGRICULTURE BOYS wHO HAVE STARTED KEEPING DAIRY HERO IMPROVEMENT RECORDS. THE FATHERS OF THE AGRICULTURE BOYS DO NOT HAVE T0 HIRE A DAIRY HERD IMPROVE- MENT MAN TO KEEP THE RECORDS, FOR SON IS SER- VING THE PURPOSE. WE TEST THE MILK AND WEIGH THAT AND FEED, ONCE EVERY THIRTY DAYS, SO THAT AT THE END OF THE YEAR WE CAN TELL WHICH COWS ARE PAYING FOR THEIR FEED AND LEAVING SOME PROFIT AND THE ONES THAT ARE NOT. FIVE THE SENIORS OF THIS YEAR ARE PLANNING A OR SEVEN DAY TRIP TO THE ADIRONDACKS- PARENTLY CAME TO WIN IF POSSIBLE AND wENT HOME DETERMINED TO TRY AGAIN NEXT FALL WHEN THE CHAPTER HOPES TO PUT ON A BIGGER AND BET- TER CONTEST. OUR WANOERINGS HAVE SEEN A CHAPTER TEAM REPRESENTING US AT THE CONTESTS AT STATE FAIR DELHI STATE SCHOOL, MORRISVILLE STATE SCHOOL, FARM AND HOME wEEx, AND AT THE ANNUAL SOUTH- WILL ERN TIER DAIRY FIELD DAY HELD AT CORTLAND. THE CHAPTER HAS VOTED TO BECOME MORE THAN PRACTICAL, IN FACT TO ATTEMPT GROWING AN ACRE OF POTATOES FOR THE EXPRESS PURPOSE OF MAKING A PROFIT, SAID PROFIT TO BOLSTER OUR FUNDS IN THE TREASURY. A MODEL T. FORD, CON- VERTED TO A GARDEN TRACTOR DURING OUR WINTER SHOP PERIODS, IS TO FURNISH THE POWER AND SOME OF OUR FRIENDS ARE GOING TO FURNISH ODDS AND ENDS OF EQUIPMENT. MR. AMES HAS GIVEN THE USE OF AN ACRE OF LAND HE RENTS, IN ADD- ITION TO THE OTHER EFFORTS THAT HE IS PUTTING FORTH IN OUR BEHALF. IS THAT A SNICKER, DEAR READER? THE CHAPTER HOPES YOU ARE WRONG, BUT EVEN SO,MUCH MORE EXPERIENCED FARMERS THAN US HAVE FAILED TO GROW PROFITABLE POTATOES, So MAYBE YOU ARE RIGHT. THE SENIORS ARE STILL WEARING THE LOOK PERHAPS THEY WISH TO VIEW ALL THE HISTORIC SPOTS, PERHAPS wISH TO WATCH FOR BEAVER,DEER, AND OTHER WILD ANIMALS, BUT OUR GUESS WOULD BE JUST PLAIN FISHING AND LOAFING ARE THE MAIN CONSIDERATIONS. AN APOLOGY,DEAR SENIORS, IT IS REMEMBERED NOW THAT YOU DO INTENO T0 VISIT THE AUSABLE CHASM AND THE PLATTSBURGH BARRACKS AND SPEND AT LEAST ONE DAY IN CANADA WE ARE SENDING IN PLANS FOR A MINATURE EXHIBIT FOR THE STATE FAIR.

THE CLUB PROGRAM DURING THE PAST YEAR HAS INCLUDED MANY TYPES OF wORK. WE FIRST DISCOVERED A FEW TRICKS OF How T0 PLACE AND DRAW SIMPLE OURVES AND STRAIGHT LINES. THIS WAS FOLLOWED BV APPLICATION OF THESE PRINC- IPLES IN THE DRAWING OF SOME SIMPLE PICTURES. NEXT WE LEARNED HOW T0 DO SOME WORK WITH ANGULAR PERSPECTIVE. ABOUT CHRISTMAS TIME WE HAD FUN MAKING CHRISTMAS CARDS OUT OF DRAWING PAPER AND SCRAPS OF' DECORATIVE WRAPPING PAPER. AT THE TIME OF THE ART EXHIBIT AT THE SCHOOL THE CLUB MADE A STUDY OF SOME OF THE PICTURES OF THE DISPLAY. THE MEMBERS ESPECIALLY ENJOYED HEARING EACH OTHERIS COMMENTS ON SOME OF THE OUTSTANDING PICTURES SUCH AS NBLUE HORSESN AND VAN GOGH'S HCAFEU. MEETINGS DURING THE SPRING WERE DEVOTED TO PLANNING AND DOING ART WORK FOR THE ANNUAL. MR. IVES, THE CLUB SPONSOR, HAS ExPRESS- ED THE DESIRE TO SEE THE CLUB NOT ONLY CONTINUE NEXT YEAR, BUT ALSO GROw IN MEMBER- SHIP AND ENTHUSIASM.
