by 26 boys of the Dodgeville high
school on farm projects carried out
through the past summer, under the
direction of Ivan G. Fay, local agrlcul-
tural teacher. Fay and his boys are
hoping to beat that record this year,
because last year was a poor crop
year. With the exception of boys VINO
live in town every boy in the agrlcui-
tural class works some project OF ms
own choice during each summer. Ii
he is interested in beef cattle he bt
calves of his own, raises baby beer
herd, shows them at fairs, and sells
them in the fall at the Junior Live
stock show which is held in Madison.
Usually he sells at a handsome profit.

raises one or more filters of his fav-
orite breed. Or perhaps his tastes run
TO field crops, and he rnets from one
to 10 acres of good ground from dad,
paying cash rent, and raises field OF
pedigree corn, potatoes or barley, all
his own. In all cases careful record
is kept of all expenses, of all feed, all
seed and all labor.
