A summary of the report of Supt. G.
w. Patterson on the work Of the Green
Mountain guard in this district, as given
to the extension service of U. v. M
shows that the school children produced
$3.50 worth of food products, and put
up over 800 worth of canned goods, The
girls in the baking clubs made 53S bak-
ings. The sewing club girls made hearty
100 articles The value of the boys

few of the leading products are: Calves
value $500; garden products, 800; poul-
try products, 1925; potatoes, 800; corn
$685.; pork, S265. The Randolph town
schools furnished about 20 per cent ii
the school population of the district, and
they put up nearly 100 per cent OF the
canned goods 70 per cent of the number
of sewed articles, and So per cent of the
bakings. This interest in domestic sci,
ence is attributed TO the effects of the
junior high school and the present work
in the grades in domestic science at the
Center. The past season was very dis
couraging for the children as the frost
destroyed many of the gardens. The
season was the poorest growing season
in many years.
