AT FARMERS COURSE

h6lL county Was IGplSoShISO "
thirty boys and girls at the Junior
Short Course held at the University
of Delaware this past week. This
was quite the best group of young
people both in numbers and in their
fine spirit, that has ever attended the
Short Course from this county.
The increased number in attend
ance was made possible by the in
terest shown by the banks and or
ganizations in the county.
The proposition of scholarships
was presented to the banks as an in
vestment-an investment in the
youth of the county and the major
ity of them, looking at it in that light
sent boy or a girl to Newark ror
the week-there to give of their tai
ents and their spirit to make the
Short Course the best ever held In
the State and to bring home to their
clubs and their communities the help
and inspiration which they had re-
ceived from contact with other CLUB
boys and girls in the State.
The mornings and afternoons were
taken up with demonstrations and
tours. For the girls, there was a
Jelly demonstration by Miss Sydney
Evans of the Douglas Dectin Com
pany, a sewing machine demonstra-
ton by a Singer Sewing machine
representative. Miss Helen Com
stock, Kent County Club Agent, gave
two demonstrations of stenciling.
This gave an opportunity for each of
the fifty-five girls in attendance to
take home a hand-painted 'handker-
chief.
Miss Anne B. Moore, Sussex Coun-
tg Club Agent, conducted a nature
study tour for all. This took the
form of a contest to see who could
identify the most trees and wild
flowers.
The Poultry Club members found
that the lectures and demonstrations
by Hoke S. Palmer, Poultry Special
list, would be of real benefit to them
when they came back to their homes.
The boys went on tours Of inspec-
tion of the crop plots, dairy herd,
and swine,
Probably the most popular spot on
the campus was the swimming pool
with NJ. c. Vaughn, Sussex County
Agricultural Agent, and Ed. Willim
New Castle County Club Agent, in
charge.
On Thursday afternoon, the entire
group visited Longwood. For the ma
jority, it was the first visit, which
made it the more enjoyable. 1t gave
them a vision of the possibilities fol
decoration of the flowers that grow
around them.
The meals were served in the col
fege commons. Following the eve
ming meal, the boys and girls hell
vesper services on the steps of Oh

arranged and conducted by the boy
and girls themselves. Kent count
