AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT The Agricultural Department of the West Salem High School offers a four year course in agriculture, including directed farm practice.

(2) Results in, or adds to, the vocational skill necessary to make farming a profitable occupation. (3) Enables the farmer to utilize and appreciate his rights and responsibilities as a member of the family and of society. (4) Provides a training that will result in an intelligent appreciation of the opportunities in the occupation of farming and its related industries. The duties of the department are many but nevertheless it is always ready to help in every phase of agriculture and also in activities bearing on agriculture. The department always standys ready to serve the community of West Salem as well as the farmers of the West Salem High School District. The following agricultural jobs are performed by the department: 1. Pruning of fruit trees, bush fruits and grape vines. 2. Grafting of fruit trees. 3.

AGRICULTURE JUDGING TEAMS At 9:30 on Oct. 20, seven judging teams aggregating nineteen students, from the Ag. Department of the high school left for Madison to enter the state judging contests open to boys from all Smith-Hughes schools in the state. Last year there were 400 students taking part in the contests and this year it is expected that the number will be fully 600. Mr. Rowe is in charge of the teams. The financing of the trip was made possible by the success of the movie shows given at the Rex Theater under the auspices of the Ag. boys. Last year West Salem sent four teams and won the state championship in livestock judging and in fat stock judging besides placing in several other team and individual contests. The teams made the trip by auto those driving cars being Mr. Rowe, Willis Klusman, Martin Hass, Vernon Knudson, and Clifford Michelson. Following are the teams and the results of the contests: Stock Judging—Wilson Thomas, Clarence Johnson, Clifford Michelson, Henry Heider alternate. This team was tied with the Wood County Ag. School for first place in judging Guernseys, but the silver trophy was left on exhibit at the Ag. School because they have a larger enrollment. Both teams turned in perfect scores of 300. The boys also had perfect scores in judging Fat Sheep. Clarence Johnson was high man on the Salem team with a score of 890, Wilson Thomas 872.5, Clifford Michelson 849.5. Wilson Thomas was also tied for first in judging Holsteins. Potatoes—Martin Hass, Eldor Miller, Donald Miller, Earl Quackenbush. This team won fifth place and Earl Quackenbush won third honors with a score of 94. Meat Judging—Julian Anderson, Fred Batzel, Willis Klusman. Farm Mechanics—Harold Oaks. Small Grain and Apples—Martin Hass, Donald Miller, Earl Quacken-bush, Eldor Miller. Poultry and Eggs—Shirley Heider, Marcus Schwartz, Herbert Weingar-ten. This team placed fifth. Dairy Products—Vernon Knudson, Owen Anderson, Donald Kruger. Alfred Niedfeldt and Filmore Stor-andt went as alternates to be used j wherever necessary. As a whole the judging trip was a I success. The boys worked hard and the competition was keen, there being over 750 boys in the contests. The experience alone gained by the boys was well worth the trip and they saw farm exhibits of the best class. BOYS 4-H CLUB The Boys’ 4-H Club was organized in the fall of ’27 with Mr. Rowe as leader. Officers were elected and it was decided to have regular meetings every third Monday of the month. It was also decided to have only Freshmen as members of this club, as this is a very large class. The boys of ’31 intend to carry on this work all the four years of high school. The individual project is an important factor and from them we expect to bring home a few premiums from the State Fair next fall. The meetings have been businesslike and we carry out the 4-H rules and regulations. Then after the regular meeting a good time is had by all in the way of sports, and refreshments. We wish to thank Miss Quackenbush and the Home Economic girls who prepared the lunches for us. We also thank Mr. Rowe for being our leader and giving us such a fine start. The following are the members of the club: Mr. Rowe—leader Marcus Schwartz—president Earl Quackenbush—vice president Fillmore Storandt—sec. treas. Allen Anderson Wilson Cassel Willard Drecktrah Lester Drogseth Lawrence Halverson Martin Hass Rudolph Hulberg Tilman Knudson Rudolph Lee Paul Lindse Winton McEldowney Donald Miller Hayward Rhodes Raymond Rhodes Arnold Schmidt Willis Schomberg Louis Spacek George Walter Eldor Miller
