My wildlife project has been
very interesting. In the past year
have enjoyed working with Wild
life and I am sure that others
would also find it interesting.
Wildlife is one of the most i'm
portant projects.
Birds are our most common
friends of wild animals and We
should build homes and help pro-
tect them. We can help them also
ty sowing grass seeds and other
things. Everyone likes to hunt so
We must preserve our game. Quail
nave been hunted until there are
only few.
Wlidlife is not Just animals. but
forests. too. You can find enjoy
ment in planting trees as well as
helOlng wild animals. We should
caution others to help preserve
Vildlife.

My garden was very small. In
preparing the ground for planting
We put fertilizer and compost on
it. Then We ripped and disked it
under. I started planting January
II. 1858. l planted my onions for
the first thing. Then later on l
planted my cabbage. lettuce. rad
iSheS. and carrots. About month
later I planted my tomatoes. sweet
corn, and sugar peas. After an
other month I planted watermel-
ons. squash, and cantaloupes. I
harvested a good crop from all my
vegetables for home use and can
ming. I enjoyed with my garden
project and I think it is a good
one for boys and girls to carry.

CANNING PROJECT

The first year passed quickly
and when 1 Joined for my second
year l took a project that has
meant more to me than any other
canning. Most of my Club work
has reyolved around this project.
The first year l helped Mother
can 80 quarts and canned 40 quarts
alone. BY keeping a record of this
and getting it in at the proper
time. I won a Junior Canning con-
test. This aroused my interest
even more in All work and espe-
cially in canning. Also l made my
first dress that year. II was just
a simple green and white checked
cotton dress with a drawString
neckline but was I proud OF it!
During 1949 my third year in
Ali l began to understand more
about what All was doing for
rural boys and girls. 1t is show
ing them that they can do won-
derful things and joining them
together in 4 mutual under
standing. l carried Food PreSer-
yation and Clothing again and
during the year canned %.
quartS-S5 quarts alone. BY
planning and using I h e Food

tinued to use this plan and find

what 1 have written. If you can
read between the lines, perhaps
you will see that All has taught
me that you don't always win

trying. All has given me the
poise and confidence to preside
over a meeting or speak to a
group of strange people.

Senator Morse said that under

Mr.. Mckay replied Friday
that politics, not conservation. Is
