tural schools Ten thousand Wiscon-
sin high school boys who have never
been farmers will be taught the rudl-
ments OF farming and gardening and
will be turned out in April to help
fight the Germans by producing food
in their state,
To do this, the assistant state SUI

speeding up of the regular school
work The students were not robbed

with that a laboratory course in ag-
riculture was introduced Active and
retired farmers OF the state formed
a Big Brothers organization. Its mem
bers volunteered to take boys into
their homes for week ends and to
teach them elementary farming. An
educational campaign is being con
Quoted among farmers throughout the
state to make them willing to utilize
boy labor for the things that the
growing boy Is able to do about the
farm and to give him an opportunity
for learning more about agriculture
The rural schools are conducting a
