Outlines for the work in agricul-
ture for the rural associated schools:
LIST Division work for March: Note
changes in weather and length Of
day. Animal pets are always inter
esting. Name all the pets that you
have at home. Bring out facts. of
interest about each. The wind is
usually very busy during the month
of March. Note all the things that
the wind can do and I am sure you
will learn to like the wind.
Study seedlings. Use peas, corn,
pumpkins or squash. Grow between
blotters or cloth, or in saw-dust
box. In furnishing the conditions for
growth vary the amount Of light,
moisture, heat and good supply. From
the sprouted peas, etc, remove as
much as possible of the cetyledons
and compare with similar seedlings
not so treated. Distinguish root,
shoot, food-supply, and seed-coat.
Continue your study Of birds. I sug-
gest the woodpecker for this month.
End Division work for March: Club

get ready for the spring and summer
