A feature of the evenings entertain
ment, was a reading rendered by Roy
Dixson entitled Boosting Pearl Town
ship and South Dakota" This bit of
rhyme was written by Mrs. John Dixon
of Pearl Township:
"B0Osting Pearl Twp. and South Oak"
South Dakota a raise most anything
AS well as stock and grain,
It's stood the test and raised the
Best with very little rain.
1t raises oats, wheat, barley,
With rye and sugar cane,
But there's no use for me to boost
or all the other kinds of grain.
II you locate in South Dakota
You'll find you cannot shirk,
For as | say. to make it pay
You'll have to do some work.
Just take a drive through Pearl Twp,
Twill give you an agreeable shock,
To hear those good old farmers
Call in their full blood stock.
The cows are big as elephants,
The truth, | do declare!
And you will laugh to see a calf
Outweigh a Polar Bear.
We raise the finest pure bred hogs
The best that can be found;
We sell them to the commission men
Or buyer by the pound.
And as you view the live stock,
Just keep in mind this line,
You will regret If you forget
TO see u pure bred swine.
You cannot beat our chickens,
They all have yellow legs,
And my! Oh my. no use to try
One cannot count the eggs.
To take a trip through Pearl Township
Is better than a show,
Twill help your health to view our
wealth
And hear our roosters crow"
Hand County is to be. congratulated
on the number of talented folk who are
gifted to so express themselves in
verse.
The business session included the
adoption of a Constitution and By
LIE ws, ard the discussion Of the pro-
gram of work. The County Agent was
called upon to discuss the subjects
adopted by the executive committee as
particularly applicable to this COM
munity. This program includes means
for livestock, crop, farm, home and
community Improvement, and the Boys
and Girls Club work. The program is
based on the actual needs of the COM
munity as deterpined by members of
the community.
Any desire for community, farm or
home Improvement must come from
the people of that community. If it
does not, very little will ever be ac-
complished in attempts at improve
ment in any line. Believing this, the
Directors of the Farm Bureau in Hand
County have authorized the County
Agent to work through the Community
Clubs only upon request of citizens
living in the various communities.
additional community clubs will be
organized when requests are made at
the Farm Bureau Office. Seven are
row organized and cooperating with
the Farm Bureau.
E. H.. Aicher,
County Agent.
