The Farmers. The department of Vocational Agriculture is made up of real, honest-to-good- ness farmers, the majority of whom have a vision of a farm business in the prosperous days which are soon to come to Agriculture. These boys are making preparations to play their part in community life and meet the multi- tude of problems which a farmer is compelled to face. They are making use of their home farm experience as a background for their studies in school and further they are planning and study- ing at school the details of a particular enter- prise to be carried out on the home farm under the supervision of the teacher. Some of the en- terprises upon which various boys are working this year include: Complete cow test records of the home farm herd 5 cost account records of the farm for the entire year, management of a flock of poultry acquired in the fall, breeding poultry and capon production. Class activities this year include the growing of early plants, hot bed management, and the planting and management of a garden. An annual event which always proves enjoy- able and profitable to agricultural students is the In vTl 1..1.u.1g.1..1...-...,...q.i...-1.111-...1.,1q.-.-.lun-..1.u1. .iglin 1.1 trip to the College of Agriculture at New Bruns- wick where the state judging contests are held.
