Junior Farmers, Week. .

While the Farmers were being edi-
lied with speeches by the bright lights
the Junior Farmers were also in ses-
sion and much interest was devel-
oped.
The Junior Farmers work has been
under the charge of Prof. Ralph S.
Besse and has kept him and his as
sistants very busy this week. Last
year there were but sixty who at
tended the Junior Week and this wear
there were 142. They have a regular
week of school work, the girls in do
mestic science and the boys along
their lines but either is permitted to
contest in any class. In addition to
their work they have play at the gym.
Miss Anna M. Phillips won the
trophy in the contest for horse judg-
ing from among the one hundred and
forty-two contestants of the Junior
