DON H. HAMILTON. B. S. Better Fanners Make Better Americans As truly American as baked beans and the Fourth of July is the farmer in his blue jeans, survey- ing his land, whether it be the rocky hills of New England, the fertile prairies of the Mississippi valley, or the grassy plains of the West. In order to put better farmers on our local farms, P. H. S. offers a com- plete course in agriculture. This de- partment, under the expert guidance of Mr. Hamilton, is subdivided into several sections. First is a study of crops and soils; second, the care and breeding of livestock; third, a study of farm management and farm machinery; and last is a course which is mostly individual work selected by the student himself. The classroom work in the course deals with theoret- ical study which may be applied prac- tically on the farm. AT WORK IN THE SHOP A FOUR-H STUNT SHOW
