Quoted by the boys of the G. H. S.
aggie class under the supervision of
A. P. Brodell instructor on the Huff
aker farm north of Chickasha
The boys operated the tractors
and plows themselves and when the
sun went down yesterday evening
seventeen of the twenty-five acres,
which has been leased for use by
seven of the senior high agricultural
clas, had been tractor broken to
depth of six inches.
The cultivation of this tract of
land will mark an innovation in the
activities of the aggriculture depart
ment of the high school here. 1t is
the first project of the kind ever
launched here in connection with
the city schools and it is believed
that this years work by the boys
will prove the necessity Of a dem
onstration farm to be owned and
controlled by the city department
of education.
The land will be planted in Acala
cotton and the crop will be cultiated
entirely by tractordrawn implements,
it being one of the purposes Of the
demonstration to prove that cotton
can be cultivated in all stages of
the work by motorized cultivators.
Five tractors featured in the break
ing of the seventeen acres yester-
day. They were the Moline Univer
sal, Gray, Fordson, Cleveland and
Samson.
