N.W.S.A. S GRAIN AIUDGING STocK JUDGING Grain Judging liach year a grain judging team is selected from among the students to represent the Northwest School in competition with other agricultural schools of the North- west. The contest is held during the Annual Winter Shows at Crookston. Last fall, the largest number in the history of this school, answered the call of Nlr. E. R. Clark, the coach, for candidates for the team. They showed very keen interest in their work up to the last minute. ln this contest classes of the common grains are placed and reasons are given for the placings. One hundred and thirty- five samples of cereals, forage crops, potatoes and noxious weeds are identified, either in seed samples or plant specimens. The members of the team, because of placing third, only a few points behind the leaders, and because of the experience they gained, feel that their efforts were well' worth while, and the rest of the squad, with their experience, will strive for a better record next year. -C. L. P. Stock Judging Stock judging is one of the many educational activities of this school. The stock judging team of this school competed with eight similar schools from North and South Dakota, hlinnesota and lylanitoba, Canada. The judging team this year won first place in the contest, and brought home the silver cup for the first time in the history of the school. The keen interest of the many students who worked for the team and the never dying spirit of the coach, Mr. G. YV. Wiglit, accomplished that which the school has never done before. Jesse Filipi, the high man of the contest, Allan Hoff ranking very high in the contest and the good work of Clinton Donley, upheld the honor for this school. All the men who went out for stock judging, whether they made the team or not, found that it was a very worth while activity. liipllly-two t X

HOME PROJECT VVORK The Northwest School of Agriculture is a twelve months school and this is made possible because of supervised work carried on doing the summer months by the students. Throughout the history of the Northwest School home project work has been a fundamental unit in the school curriculum. Beginning in a small way it has grown in such a marvelous manner that it efficiently fills the needs of the students during the summer recess. Project work in sewing, canning, preserving, baking. embroidering, and hem- stitching for girls, and in tractor operation, livestock raising, pure seed production. corn and potato growing for boys, is required of all students. ' Beginning in l92l, a Home Project Exhibit has been held each year at the school. For the past seven years the Parent's Visiting Day Program has been scheduled on the same date. Each home project student prepares an exhibit of products grown or work completed in the project, including records of cost of pro- duction and financial results. These are exhibited and judged on Home Project llav. HOME PROJECT AVVARDS 1930 .

The 4-H Club Students who come to the Northwest School and who have a keen interest for 4-H club work, are offered the privilege of belonging to the school's 4-H club. This club is a social gathering for the members and it gives them the true and worthwhile facts about 4-H club work. Our club here at the Northwest School, was organized? for the purpose of instructing the members to learn what 4-H club work really is, and also to give the members the training of appearing before an audience. Our programs are inspiring as well as instructive. At each meeting new problems are brought up. Great interest is shown to the -if-H exhibitors at the Winter Shows. They are invited to a program and party given by us at our college and we can say that they enjoy their visit with us Several of our members have an interest in the production of livestock, and through their interest of this work, they have won many educational and enjoyable trips. One of our members got a trip to the National Dairy Show, another to the International Livestock Show, and others received trips to the Junior Livestock Show at St. Paul. VVe also can proudly boast that one of our members was the champion bread baker at the 1930 Minnesota State Fair. ln our club work, we strive to make the best better. -A. H. Eighty-thru' X
