Our proiecis have consisred of beef caHle, hogs, and poullry. We are consianlly increasing our producrion of livesfock feed and food for human consumpfion, in keep- ing wilh The war program. VVe have doubled lhe size of our grain field by culling and burning brush: we planred a viciory garden near The ag. building, filled ihe space in ironr of lhe new ag. shop, and buill a concreie reiaining wall. The chapier also buill a small brooder house and raised 200 New Hampshire chicks. The new ag. shop, now being occupied for The second year, has proved To be very valuable for farm machinery repairs as well as for making fools and oiher useful arlicles. ln spile of a serious shorlage of iools and olher maierials, ag. mechanics has shown much improvemeni during Jrhis year. Some of lhe oulsianding home proiecls owned by our members are as follows: Fred Cavagnaro, seven head of beef caHle: James Campbell, four head of caH'le and 'rwo hogs: Wilbur Black, four head oi dairy carileg Don Kole, lwo head of beef carrie, a mare, and coll: John Fraguero, four head of ca++le3 and Joe Uvelli, +hree dairy carlle, one pig, and an acre of vegeiables.
