My Trip to the Agricultural College
Being a winner in the potato project
of the Boys and Girls Clubs, I e
ceived a free trip to the Boys and
Girls Achievement Institute held at
Fargo from Dec. IL to II, 1920.
Each morning all the boys and girls
met at the Little Country Theatre in
the Administration building where a
general session was held. Meals were
served at Ceres Hail.
On Tuesday afternoon, Dec. ID, we
went sightseeing about the campus,
going through the dairy building,
veterinary building, Science Hall,
green house, forge shop, machine shop,
chemistry building and Francis Hall.
At Science Hall Prof. Miller gave an
interesting talk on Birds and Man,
mails, after which we enjoyed moving
pictures at the Little Country Theatre.
After the general session on We'd
nesday the boys were at the judging
pavilion Judging beef cattle and
swine, while the girls had a lecture
on canning and household cenven-
fences at Ceres Hall. In the afternoon
all the boys went to the armory. for
a short time to play games. The girls
played games at the Ceres Hall gym
nasium, after which we had a poultry
culling demonstration in the Amphi-
theatre at the veterinary building, by
A. O. Barton, a talk on animal diseas-
es by DR.. Mcmahon and a meat cut
ting demonstration by DIR. Trow-
bridge. In the evening we all went to
the Armory where each county had
their club stunts and yells.
Thursday forenoon we had a talk
on potatoes BY: A. F. Yeager in Fran
els Hall, a talk on Club records by H.
E. Killing and a poultry Judging dem
o%nstration in the veterinary building
by O. A. Barton. In the afternoon pic
lures of the Institute and county
groups were taken in front of the Ad-
ministration Building. At 3:45 we all
met at the College Grocery corner to
board street cars for the Garrick The
atre, down town where we were en-
tertained from 400 until 600. In the
evening at 7:30ehe Commercial Club
gave a banquet for the girls and boys
Of the Institute at their club rooms.
An interesting program of speeches
and music was given and a delightful
dinner was served. We all spent an
evening which will not soon be forgot
ten.
Friday was the last day of the In
stitute. After the general session the
boys went to Francis Hall where they
had talks on stock feeding and corn.
In the afternoon a general session was
held. Officers for the Institute for the
coming year e. elected. The coun-
ties also gave their yells and club
songs. After this we given an
opportunity to go down town on a
Christmas shopping tour.
I think that every boy and girl who
attended this Institute will become
more interested in club work, do more
of it and do it better than before. I
hope that Bottineau County will show
more interest in club work the COM
ing year and that more will complete
their projects. -.A-/ ..(
