THE ATTRACTIVE HOME
Article I.

Several years ago a nurse from the
West had charge Of our hospital
who spoke slang huently. She said;
II never saw a place like Berca. All
the married folks are stuck on each
other!"
We think children need good air
for the growth of their bodies. How
about the air for the growth Of their
characters? Is not the condition H..
nurse described the first element!
When I was a little girl heard
my brothers laughing because they
had found my father and another
man praying in the woods. one In
German. the other in English. Soon
after my father took me TO cur
maple sugar bush. eight miles from
home, to spend week with this Ger
man family.
II was log house with bare
floors. The children could speak
English, the father and mother Ger

face and reverent voice, gave thanks.

they spoke that wordless language
OF happy married people. which the
very stones cannot fail to under
stand. Whatever the nationality,
this is the Interpretation: "They
love each other-they love the same
high ideals-a love Of God Is beneath
their love for each other"
Ten years later I visited that
home. The woods had given way to
pastures and wheat fields. The
yard had shrubs and flowers. There
was a new house, comfortably fur

COMMUNITY MEETING


lar Grove community attended CON-
munity meeting at the schoolhouse
last Wednesday night, May 81. The
County Agent discussed "The Value
Of Community Meetings and the Co.
operation of Farmers" The latter
part of the meeting was very inter-
esting because more than score
Of questions concerning fertilizer,
livestock, crops, bees, etc, were asked
and discussed. More than 100 bull
letins were distributed to the people
who desired them on the subjects
they were most interested in. Before
the meeting closed arrangements
were made to have another commu-
nifty meeting on June 30. At this
time it is hoped that the County
Agent will give lantern slide lee
ture on farm crops and club work.
The Junior Club work was mention
ed and a movement was started for
the organization of a club in charge
of Mrs. Cook.
We hope that a permanent COM
munity organization will be perfected
at Poplar Grove; it is a real sood
farming section, and the people are
very anxious to grow and develop
in the way Of community life.
One of the biggest needs Of Otta-
wa, Quail, and Poplar Grove COM
munities is a limestone pulverizer.
Each of these communities is in
reach Of limestone but not in avail
able form. A pulverizer would make
it possible for these soils to produce
almost any crop with a liberal ap.
plication of phosphorus.
The County Agent visited a num-
Der of farmers in each Of the above
and found farm work
well up-to-date ana crops govt,
under the stirring Interest of many
progressive farmers. Carl Brown, a
club member, was visited and it was
found that he produced So bushels of
corn per acre last year in the Quail
at cost of 10 cents per
bushel. He broadcasted his fertiliz-
er, which attracted the attention of
many farmers after the corn was
harvested, and they are doing like
wise. Carl continues this year as a
,lub member and is growing corn and
soy beans.
The club work in Rockcastle county
IS bringing about quite a change
along the line of agriculture, live
stock, and poultry, poultry being the
biggest money making proposition in
he county. We hope that Rock
,astle will reach $4,000 income this
year from poultry and poultry prod.

My Trip to Junior Week Last Year
Monday ! got ready, went to Be.
rea, saw Mr.. Spence, then on to the
depot and waited for the train about
20 minutes. Then started. On my
way to Lexington passed many
bluegrass farms. Arrived at Lexing-
ton about Ais p. m. The Boy Scouts
were there to meet us, so we went
up to State University with them.
After signing up for our hunks, we
all went out and sat on the grass
while Mr.. Buckler talked to us.
Then it was time to wash and get
ready for supper. After supper we
went out on the lawn and listened
to sermon by a preacher from up
town. At the close Of this service
we went to the new chemistry build
ing to a picture show. Afterward,
not having wood to make a camp fire,
we went to our hall and went to bed
We got up Tuesday morning at
$50. Part Of us went swimming in
the Y. M. c. A. pool; the others took
setting-up exercise. At 6:45 we had
breakfast at the State University
Cafeteria.
We formed in line and marched to
our classes (lectures) at 7:45. The
first lecture was on "Gas Engines
and How to Operate Them" Next
lady gave us lecture on what we
should eat and what we should not
eat. At 1918 we went to hear Pro-
fessor Roberts lecture on Soils"
This was instructive. Chapel was at
Hoo, Dean Cooper giving the We'll
coming Address. We had dime in
the Cafeteria at 1900 and from that
time until o'clock was our rest
period.
At two o'clock we marched over to

us. At 800 o'clock we listened to a
lecture on Mature and Her Won
ders."
After all of these lectures and
classes we went down on the Uni
versity Athletic Field (for, "All work
and no play makes Jack a dull boy")
and played baseball and volley ball
to our hearts content. Then we
cleaned up for supper.
After supper we went out on the
lawn for vesper services, to worship
Him who made us and all the beauti-
full things around us. We then at
tended a picture show-agricultural
pictures.
I would tell you each days pro-
gram, but I saw so many things that
would have to make a book to get
them in. So / shall give skip to
