books. II starts them Ia thinking Of
the home and the community.
"Thc crops grown in any community
will determine the crops to be studied
intensivcly. In the corn belt, study
J corn, alfalfa, oats. clover, timothy. |
etc; in the South, study cotton, Bcr-
muda grass, winter oats, sugar cane,
peanuts, etc. In the fruit and truck
gardening section, study small fruits. |
Strawberries and vegetables.
l "If alfalfa Is selected. do not try 10 |
teach everything there Is to know
J about alfalfa. Ask this question |
. l"What one, two or three things can !
