That may sound like . strange
kind Of hobby, but Sarah Jane gets
as much fun out of it rs city girls
and boys do out OF their various
pastimes. And she Is, at the same
time, learning to do things that
will be Of practical benefit to her
all through life.
Sarah lives on q farm about Is
miles from here In Fairfax County.
"Dairying is the chief occupa.
tion," she writes, land the milk IL
shipped into Washington. The main
crops are corn, wheat and hay, the
cattle's food"

boys, Sarah belongs to the All Club.
In fact, she's vice president Of the
Floris All and also secretary Of
the aflliated Calf Club. And that's
where her hobby comes In.

The various projects Of the al
Club are work, but work planned
for pleasure and profit Is well a.
for the purpose Of getting necessary
things done promptly and well.
Sarah explains:
The girls projects this year are
food and how we can prevent food
waste, and all sorts Of housework,
including laundering and sewing.
I am taking egg production and
sewing. / have 20 white Leghorn
hens already, and I like sewing very
much. I have won quite q few
prizes on different things, such a.
aprons. slips and dresses, at our
community fair"

prizes" with her COW, Queen Greta,
she says, adding: There are about
IA members Of the Calf Club, and
we all have heifers or COWS as

and Sarah's composition earned her
