Old Agricultural implement

The hoe is probably one OF the DID,

limb Of a tree with sharp crook he
had a hoe for the cutting, and 1t was
with such hoes as these that the In.
dams planted their large fields OF
corn, and prepared the soil for the
nlantipg. There probably was not
much "hilling-up" done and less weed
cutting. There was a little, for effort
was made to keep the weeds down
until the corn was high enough TO
shade the ground. Hoeing was soon
finished, and the crop was left to IT.

garment making and poultry raising.
It is the endeavor of the club work
leaders to instill into the minds OF
club workers that it is not the none
tary worth of the product of their
work which is the real object of the
work but that the value of it lies in
the habits Of industry and thrift which
are formed, in the business training
and sense Of ownership and in the ben
eft of achievement. The purpose of
the work is to improve farm and home
practices by instructing the boys in
correct agricultural methods and the
girls in correct home making, to as
sist boys and girls to demonstrate
these methods of improvement; to aid
in the cooperation of family and COM
munity by encouraging property own
ership and the feeling of partnership
and to make rural life more attractive
by providing an organization which
tends to diminish isolation and develop
leadership.
