Horticulture Department rHE past year for the Ilortieulture Department may be spoken of as the most profitable season ever experienced. This can be attributed to better yiekls and general management, with the fine cooperation given by the seniors, who have taken their project seriously. Apples anil peaches each yielded bumper crops : 5000 bushels of apples, handpicked and windfalls, were harvested. All the small fruits, as straw- berries, grapes and currants, yielded exceptionally well and proved to be very profitable. Our vegetable cropping has been increased right along and last season was doubled over the previous year. Such crops as lima beans, peas, tomatoes, sweet corn and asparagus paid very well. Due to our large yields and increase in acreage, we had to look for a new way of disposing of our products. This lead to the ilevelopment of the Roadside Market which proved both profit- able and eilucational to those students who operated the stands, showing a new and profitable source for marketing. The graduating seniors of the Horticulture Department should have no trouble in their pursuits if they work as diligently as they have done in the past here at the school. David M. Purmell, Head of Horticiitiiire ' DepartmeHt. ■4 i

Lou hails from across the waters; he came to us quietly without stirring a ripple in our midst. He is of a quiet mind and when he has something to say it is always worth listening to. Through the three years spent at the School we have seen him going about his work in his own quiet, reserved way. Never was there a complaint to make about him in his work nor in his scholarship, in which he was beyond reproof, envied by many. Even though Lou hadn ' t partici- pated in any of the School activities as far as atldetics go, yet one feels his accomplish- ments in Horticulture were done in no small way. Farm School can be rightly proud of you; we wish you luck, and if you go at your work as you have done here, there ' s nothing to stop you from attaining the heights of success. -4 30 !!=•
