MISSOURI
STUDENTS EXCEL

A group of students in the School
of Music of the Southeast Missouri
State College made a splendid i'm
preston in their public recital given
last week in the College Auditorium.
The program included piano, violin,
voice and cello numbers. The School
OF Music may well feel gratified over
the success achieved by it's student
performers. The high quality of
achievement in this recital is only
another evidence that Southeast
Missouri has many young people
possessing a high degree of musical
ability, and that the School Of Music
is gradually but surely building up Il
strong interest in music throughout
Southeast Missouri.

cital stood out prominently are Alma

POULTRY CLUB IN
PEMISCOT COUNTY

4 poultry club is being established
in this county and we arc hoping to
place at least 10000 eggs among the
school children One of our local
banks has consented to finance this
work. The plan is for the child to
give note to the bank just as any
farmer would give note, but for Sc
curity demanded, is that the parents
sign the note with the child. III this
way we will be able to furnish each
child with 45 eggs for $3.50, as the
note does not bear interest until ma
turity. The first school approached
on the subject signed up 81 members
and others are doing equally as we'll.
The plan is to give these children
one breed of chickens, namely Single
Comb Phode Island Reds. We are
emphasizing the egg laying qualities
and disregarding the show birds.
'rhe children will be given insiruc-
tions on how to set the hens. how
TO feed and care of the baby chicks.
how to feed the laying hens, how to
house and care for them so that the
best results may be obtained. We
also plan to build up an organization
that will be a living demonstration
on producing, as well as marketing
these eggs.
We will even go so far as to pack.
grade the eggs for use in setting aid
supply some of the leading markets
with fancy, strictly fresh eggs.
