Interesting Stories
Boys and Girls
Agricultural Clubs

Following are some interesting
stories of the years work which has
been accomplished by boys and girls
who are members Of the Agricultural
clubs, conducted by the Kennebec
Farm Bureau.
My Seasons Work
There is an old saying that says,
THE third time never fails" and l
think this might be applied to the
club work. Although my first two
years Of club work did not fail by
any means, feel that have accom-
plished a great deal more good from
the "Own Your Own Room Club" as
a club, than I did from the cooking,
and housekeeping or sewing projects,
because the Room Improvement
Club" is a more uncommon project.
according to correct tastes is not
stressed in the home as the cooking
and sewing are, although it is just
as essential to have the home cor
rectly furnished as it is to be able
to prepare the correct dishes for the
table.
AS | was away large part of the
summer, / did not begin my work
until very late, in fact, not until the
middle of August, and being very
anxious to get it finished before
school began, 1 hurried and finished
the work all at once.
Ny room, on the north west cor
ner of the house, is Of medium size
with two windows, one facing north
and the other west, and with large
closet also on the west. The floor of
a blush drab color and the vanished
woodwork did not need to be re-
finished, SO l polished them up a
little and then painted the walls a
cream color. Next 1 arranged the
furniture which consists of the bed,
bureau, chiffonier, ~ small table and
two chairs. one a rocker and the
other straight chair. / then hung
the pictures, selecting only those !
liked and thought suitable for the
room.
With this much done, l looked
around to see what else ! could do
to improve the looks of the room,
and decided that some Powered Gre
tonne over draperies with pillow and
waste basket to match would look
well. so I made these and cannot tell
how pleased | was with the results.
then embroidered bureau scarf
which also helped to make the room
more attractive and made a laundry
bag which | hung on the inside of
the closet door.
As | always like a great deal of
light in the room. | fancied that one
electric light bulb was not enough
to give sufficient light, so / bought
a two way light fixture and now |
have a light hanging from the ceiling
and also a drop light which I can
hang over the bureau. bed post. or
over the stand to study by. | also
have a light in the closet but that
is not a result of the club work.
do not mean to brag, but when
finished my room, it really did look
attractive. and I wish you could see
the difference in the room now ard
from the way it looked before joined
the club.
All of this for only S747 besides the
time put into the work. 1t certainly
| was worth the effort.

measured the milk and grain every

took her off and put them all in a

One of them ran away and died in
the rain, but the others grew up to
be fine chickens. fed them oatmeal
The first week. Then I fed them
chick feed and later cracked corn.
About the last Of June l set an
other hen. Her name was Calamity.
Only four out of Is eggs Matched this
time Two of them were roosters
and two pullets. fed them the same
as I did the others.
In September l sold five ROSTERS
and got two dollars and half. I

that good ones are profitable
