THE GRAYsoN1oN CLUB
OF SARASOTA, FLORIDA

A splendid suggestion from the
Sarasota Woman's club for interest
ing the young people Of your town
and city.-From Mrs. Neal Wyatt,
Chaplaine, Chairman of the "Story
Hour"
Mrs. w. S. Jennings, Jacksonville,
Florida.
Dear Mrs. Jennings: May l write
you just what / am doing and ask
your cooperation in getting the idea
started in other clubs?
Our very dear president, Mrs.
Guenther, gave me charge of the
Story Hour, under the control of the
library committee, of which am a
member. The Story Hour was start
ed, and to my amazement not child
over twelve years of age attended.
Then it was that / brought an idea
into service, which for two years l
had been planning and forming to
use for my pleasure. called a
meeting of the older girls and boys
and we organized a Nature Study
Club, making it the Graysonians, in
honor of ''the friendliest writer in
America" David Grayson.
The Graysonian creed is: To be a
Graysonian is to be fond of the open
air, to love the stretching road, the
sun on the shoulder blades, to study
the wonderful ways of nature, to slip
away once in while from everything
and to go a-wayfaring with joy for
comrade.
The Graysonian motto is: Willing
hands and friendly tongues.
Colors: Green, white and gold.
The possibilities of the club are
wonderful. It endorses and en-
braces the teachings of the Camp
Fire Girls, the Boy Scouts, the Can
Mag and Corn Clubs, the Audubon
Society, the Be-Kind- Club,
the Help One Another Club-in fact,
it is the broadcast organization for
the uplift of youth that is known.
How could it be otherwise if the mem
bers follow the precepts of David
Grayson in his Adventures of Con-
tentment, Adventures of Friendship,
and Friendly Road? Like him, we
Graysonians try to find the best in
everybody we meet, every condition
that confronts us, to lend a hand
wherever it is needed, to speak kind
word and be friendly to every living
thing.
To show you how deep is the feel
ing of friendliness already imbedded
in the members of the Graysonians
of Sarasota: A few days ago I was
talking over a plot for Graysoniar
story, and in planning to show one
j little girls kindness, in the story, fol
new member at whom the others
laughed was quickly interrupted
"But that wouldn't show the tr1t
Graysonian spirit if you had The
others laugh at himl"
One great plan of the club is t
teach observation. l am writing you
of actual experience, Mrs. Jennings
Our club was formed of fourteen
members on the 18th of June, and ou
, membership list now shows twenty
nine.
The most interesting part of tn
, meetings, to me, is when the roll i
. called, each member responds wit
some interesting thing he or she ha
! seen since the last meeting. At frs
) there were few responses, but nov
there is hardly time to get in all tn
discussion about the wonderful thing
we once thought commonplace.
Our first contest was in basket
making. The members used thei
own plans and ideas in makinl
baskets, and there were some yer
unusual and pretty ones. The prize
. were subscription to All Outdoor;
Nature Magazine, and subscriptio
, cards to the library. One basket en-

HAY MAKING IS
A MATTER THAT
DEMANDS TINE
SLIP-SHOD METHODS WILL NOT
DO IF GOOD HAY IS TO BE
PRODUCED.
On. N. Beeler, College of Agriculture
Gainesville, Fla.)

Hay-making is a fine art. Just any
sort of old slip-shod methods will not
do. Hay-mal1ing requires something
more than drying. You've got to get
the aroma, the flavor and the pal
atability imprisoned in the cured hay.
In fact, you have to use all the horse
sense and Judgment at your COM
mand to cure hay in the right way.
Your stock will tell you mighty quick
when you have succeeded.
1t is a shame to raise a good hay
crop and then to les the sun and rain
take all the nutritfkR strength out of
it, yet that is what great many
southern farmers do. If the crop
stands too long in the fields, or if it
lies in the swath until the sun has
done it's darndest to it, or if it lies
in the windrow until the rain has
drenched : it, it is little better than
wood. Now, if wood were good for
stock, there would be no use in raising
hay. We could just turn the animals
in the wood lot.

NATIVE HAY AS GOOD AS
NORTHERN.

Analysis have shown that crab
grass hay, when properly cured, is
as good, or better, than Timothy. It
is more palatable and contains more
protein. 1t is less coarse and not so
woody. Beggar-weed hay contains as
high percentage of food nutriments
as alfalfa. The same is true of cow
pea hay. Local feeders have an idea

WHY FEEDERS USE NORTHERN
HAY.

Do you know why southern dealers
do not use native hay? Do you know
why northern farmers are able to sell
millions of dollars worth of hay in
the south every year? 1t is not be-
cause the north can raise better hay.
1t is because southern feeders can
not rely on native hay. If they could
get good hay at home and could de-
pend on the farmers to supply it
when they needed it, do you think
that they would pay higher prices
for northern hay and excessive freight
rates to get it down here?
G. K. McQuarrie, state agent for
the University of Florida extension
division, believes in Florida hay crops,
He found Pensacola feeder who was
using several car loads of Illinois
Timothy hay every month. He per-
suaded the feeder to make feeding
experiment with two mules on crab
grass hay. An Escambia county
farmer who knew how to cure crab
grass supplied the hay on condition
that it was to cost the feeder nothing
if the mules did not do as well on II
as on the Timothy. At the end OF
the test he sent the farmer a check
for the hay he had fed and placed ar
order for all the hay he would need
during the year.
