The Greenwood public school re-
ports an enrolment of twenty boys
in the Agricultural Department for
the present year. All but two of these
boys are living on farms at the pres
ent time. The boys who are not liv-
ing on farms at present are, how
ever, carrying satisfactory projects
in some farm enterprise. They gain
additional farm experience by work.
ing on farms in the Greenwood COM
munity.
During the first month of instruc-
tiOn for the present school term, the
boys have been engaged in studying
the culling of poultry and the dispO-
sition of culls. After a few days of
preliminary study, the entire depart
ment visited the poultry flock of
Mr.. Martin Yoder on the Green
wood to Milford road. Here they
saw fine flock of Barred Plymouth
Rocks being kept for breeding pur-
poses. The visit was made at the
time the members of the State Poul-
| try Department of Delaware were
culling and blood testing for bacil-
larry white diarrhea. Wilson Hat
field, of near Greenwood had charge
of testing. Another flock visited
was that of Leon Rust, of near Farm
ington. At both places each pupil
was given an opportunity to actually
handle and criticise a number of
birds, gaining first hand practical
information on how to Gull.
In addition to the process of Gull |
ing, several fattening rations, con-
sisting largely of ground home |
grown grains to a large extent. This |
appears to be especially practical |
this year, owing to the unusually |
low price of the grains produced in |
this community. The boys found in |
their study that a ration consisting |
of eight parts by weight of corn |
meal, one part middlings, and twelve |
parts of skim milk could be made
up from many of the farms with no |
immediate outlay of cash. This
formula has proved to be a fine fat
tening ration for culls and if fed |
for a week to ten days will add a
premium to the check for the culls |
when sold.
Those farms not having skim milk
can easily substitute one pound of
meal scrap in the place of milk,
mixing the ration with water.
During the next few weeks the ag-
ricultural boys will study the feed
ing of poultry with special emphasis
on the laying flock. Principles un-
derlying poultry feeding and laying
rations will be studied.
The Greenwood agricultural de-
partment desires to continue its pol
icy of previous years in offering the
department and its equipment as a
community service station for farm
practices such as milk testing, seed,
testings, soil testing, ETC., that may
be carried ON to advantage to Green
wood community.
By Mrs. Della Russell
Just think we are here to celebrate
Uncle Franks and Aunt Ida's we'd
ding date
But who would have thought fifty
years ago
We would meet and have such good
But on the twenty-sixth days of
June, 1881,
They decided to be quite bold
To ask a parson to tie knot,
But to tie it good so it would hold
And have just been told
That knot still holds.
Life looked good to that couple then
AS they left the old home for the
new
They thought life held all happiness
But in one short year the stork
came
There and oh, what joy, for it had 6
left a baby boy;
But it must have said oh what a
shame
For them to only have the one
So it came once more with a baby
girl
They said there was nothing to COM
pete.
For now they thought their life G
complete.
But as the children older grew
They opened their home and hearts
to their little niece,
For there was lots of love and plen-
ty to eat
And you never could tell which they
loved the best.
For they treated that niece just like
the rest
But the daughters heart sometimes
missed a beat
Cor when company came there
wasn't room for all to eat.
But there was always a place fixed
for that little niece.
But she is not the only one who 1.
loves that home
Ieighbors and friends, the rich and
poor
Are all to be found inside their door
You never could tell who were their
kin
0or they are just Uncle and Aunt
