Twenty three hundred feet of drain
tile was laid to drain 10 acres Of
land. Future plans call for farm
pond near farm buildings for fire
protection and additional water
supply.
The farm is well mechanical
with two tractors and equipment.
Eight motors are used to power
feed grinder, hay drier, milk cool
er, grain elevator and other equip
ment. The hay drier was installed
during the past year and was used
with much success, according to
Mr.. Wildesen.
"The addition of 30 acres more
crop land from the permanent pas
ture; the fact we have passed two
clean Bangs tests in the past Is
months; and that we will have full
replacement in both dairy and beef
herds during the coming year. are,
in our opinion, the biggest inn
provcments we have made this year
in our home and farm operations.
We are very proud of the very sat
isfactOry progress of our oldest son
John in Ali work, they said. The
Wildesens further stated that
while we are working harder than
we would like. we are having
much better diet than would be
possible off the farm"
McCue Is Speaker
Principal speaker at the banquet
was Ernie b. McCue, director Of
extension, West Virginia univer-
sity, Morgantown. He pointed out
how the farm problem was a COM
mGnity problem and that people
are coming to have more apprecia-
ton for farming problems.
lie felt that among the great
changes that had taken place in
various industries that farming had
gone through the greatest revolu-
ton, but he expressed his thanks
that farmers were still free. He
advised becoming better acquainted
with farm people and their prob
lens. THE more we meet with va
rious groups, the more the lines
will disappear" he concluded.
100 Percent Completion
For the third straight year the
council had 100 percent completion
on their project books, which
means that the All group will re-
ceive an award of $25 to aid in
their recreation work.
Lewis R. Jones served as toast
master and L. Bush Swisher, prof
ect director, made brief remarks.
B. Beeson Snyder, chairman of the
F. F. B. L. council, welcomed the
guests. Vocal selections were pre-
scented by members of the Barber
shoppers, and group singing was
led by Mrs. Ruth Brown.
Each farm family was presented
with prize contributed by 1913
business places from throughout
tie county. Their contributions also
made it possible for every farm
family entering the program to be
guests of the council at the turkey
dinner. Prize distribution was in
the hands of H. C. Riggs.

Winter and the early months
Of spring are ideal for home-
modernizing projects, and right
now many homeowners are con-
sidering where and how the
budget for improvement and dec
Grafton will be spent.
Some win convert dingy base
ments to attractive playrooms
Some will gain a bedroom or two.
and possibly a bath by making
attic space livable. Some will
construct additions to provide
needed space for laundry or
workroom.
Floors figure prominently In
planning some modernizing jobs.
Home owners are showing more
interest than ever in making the
floor Of a room as decoratively
beautiful as the walls or the
furnishings due undoubtedly to
the fact that there are so many
durable, easy-to-clean floor COW
ering materials available.
Rubber and asphalt tile are
particularly appealing to some
people. 1t offers an anti-slip
surface, and at the same time
is resistant to oils, fats. greases
and common household stains.
With these advantages, tile
can be used in almost any room
in the house.
These tiles are also suited to
"do-it-yourself" installation. The
9-by-9-inch squares are easily
handled, cut and fitted. For
the home handy man, there are
installation kits available con-
tanning the tools required for the
job. With a wide range of colors,
the pattern and color possible
ties are unlimited.
