When George Knox gradual
ed from grammar school, his
father gave him registered
Jersey heifer as a graduation pres
ent. George already owned a
registered Jersey and heifer, so
this gave him a good beginning on
a farm project when he became an
agriculture student in high school.
That was years ago. George
now has 5 milking cows and one
heifer, amounting to an investment
value of $4,000.
During his first year as Flu
ture Farmer, George showed his
stock at Mesa and Phoenix Future
Farmer fairs. winning first and
second place in the classes in
which he exhibited
Last year George exhibited
heifer which won the Grand
Championship at both Phoenix and
Mesa Future Farmer fairs. Two
other heifers shown placed first
in their class.
George and his father work to-
gether with their cows. The milk
and cream is marketed chiefly
wholesale. George keeps accurate
record on his own stock, however,
so that he has a complete record
of their production and upkeep.
Amateur photography interests
George as well as his farm pro
ject. Money for new camera was
earned by his heifers.
This year George decided to try
the addition Of pig to his farm
project. So he joined the Future
Farmer pig club. The club bought
registered Duroc Jersey gilt
from Verne Wuertz, Future
Farmer member, for $1,000. George
took care of her for the club until
she farrowed. She now has
fine pigs, about month old Two
of these pigs George will return
to the pig club, to pay for his SOW

long to George. With the price
OF pork going up, he expects to
make good margain of profit on
his pigs.

In connection with our school
systems: we recommend that

to determine the amount of money
that we can afford to spend for

which it should be spent.
In view of the higher cost OF
construction we recommend that
there be a cession of building IN

Hal G. Sours, director of the
state highway department an
nounced the past week that the
department is making survey
with a new instrument which
measures speeds of automobiles
on the highway with only diff
erential of .25 miles per hour,
and will also record what kind
of bridges, culverts, etc., have
a tendency to make the driver
shy out into the middle of the
pavement, so that future con-
struction may eliminate hazards.
In this age of machines and
speeds we might add that if the
contrivance could just get the
drivers names at the same in
slant it records the speed of the
vehicle, members of the highway
patrol would be saved a lot of
trouble F. and just think what
it would mean in tracking down
the hit and run drivers bet
ter look out you highway speed
sters the instruments will
get you, if you don't watch out.
Service Director Royal Keyes
figured out way to save a paint
bill and lot of work when that
strip of light brick was run down
the center of the paving being
layed on East Main street.
Makes a sort of a permanent
marker and reminder for motor
lists to stay on their own side of
the street. Perhaps City En-
gineer Wells had something to
do with it. At any rate it's
worth mentioning.
Charley Bowman decided to
wash the back windows of his
place of business, and at the
same time find out what made
them stick +. he did-the frame
fell to pieces f. which started
US speculating as to the age of
some of the buildings around the
square. Will save that informa-
tion for a later date.
A certain Newark lady was
telling a friend about a squib
she had read in current maga-
zine, relating to some explorer
telling of a certain tribe of In
dians that possesses no weapons
for warfare. Her friend express
ed considerable surprise and
then remarked, "Is that so? I
didn't think there was a part of
the world that was so uncivil-
ized!" / suppose it all depends
on the viewpoint, and will re-
frain from divulging the ladies'
name. 1t takes a long time to
get out of the dog-house.
