1T was decided that meetings will be

they should include talks on farming
topics of general interest. At the

ging by Wayne burst, Kenneth Will
burn, and Randall Horchler. All

persons interested are welcome.
The agriculture department of the
Grantsville High school has grown
until now it is the largest department
in the county. There are 10 pupils
taking agriculture with a 1000 F. F.
A. membership. The boys projects
are improving each year, and plans
are now being made by each boy to
have a diversified farm project pro-
gram which will consist of more than
one enterprise on the farm. One of
the goals set up by the F. F. A. orga-
nization is for each boy to have at
least 5000 proftably invested by the
time he graduates from school. Ma
than Glotfelty was highest in project
work for the past year which con-
sisted of potatoes and turkeys with a
total labor income of $574.01. Many
of the boys are now trying to make
this record.
Fire Department Answers Call
On Tuesday evening about 1880 the
fremen were summoned to the saw
mill of Arthur Resi-, near Jennings.
The fire was a trivial one and had
been put out before the firemen ar
rived. Needless summoning of the
department is to be discouraged.
