S Object-to so interest the boys and
girls of the county in farm life that
they shall undertake some definite
pieces of work by themselves-either
the growing Of crops or making Of
useful articles.
Mr.. Bartlett explained that eight
communities had decided upon the work
which they wished to carry out but
that owing to the epidemic of infiu-
enza it was impossible for the Home
Demonstration Agent and the County
Agent to visit all the towns of the
county before the annual meeting and
thus make plans for work to be car
ried out as was the case with these
eight communities. Within a very
short time, meetings will be held IN
all the communities of the county to
make plans for work to be carried
out. The county program of work

munity committees and they can ac-
cept any of the projects as work for
their community or adopt others
which are of more Importance to
them.

Fall Flowing Helps Bring Big Yields
of Spring Wheat.

The following article is from the
last issue of the Farm Bureau News:
Immediately following the thrash
ing of wheat and throughout the fall.
farmers in the spring-wheat section
are confronted with the task of plow-
ing ground for seeding next years
crop. Experience has shown that
nothing will aid so much in securing
good yields of spring wheat as plow-
ing the ground the previous fall, and
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture are urging
farmers in the psring- wheat belt not
to overlook this important factor.
Preparations should be made now to
get land ready to produce big yields
in 1919.
