How Club Work Exhibits at Fairs.
Last year some of tho district fairs
featured pig club work and gave some
cmphasi3 to drying and ether activi
ties. In the corn club work special
emphasis has bten put on county and
community exhibits,' most of the
prizes asked for being in these
classes. The first prize is usually
$30 or more, and 6 to 10 prizes are
given ranging down to $5. These
exhibits arc, of course, arronged by
county and, within tho county, by
community.
In the pig club work some effort
has been made in the line of com
munity and county exhibits, but the
larger part of the money has been
placed individual premiums.
In the girls' club work most of
the premiums have been on individ
ual exhibits, with a large number of
classes open to entry.
One poultry woman of White Coun
ty decided, three years ago, that
poultry needed only good attention
to pay good returns.
She constructed a poultry house
12 by 25 feet, and changed her mon
grel flock to standard-bred Brown
Leghorns. This year, during the
months of January, February, and
March, she had 62 hcn3 that cost
hor for feed $22.89. Theso hens laid
eggs that were sold to the stores for
$93.09, leaving her a net profit of
$70.20.
This poultry keeper is so well satis
fied with these returns, that she has
planned to raise this year sufficient
pullets to give her a fr.rni flock of
150 for next winter. She talks fre
quently with the county homo demon
stration agent, and looks to the agent
for help when difficulties rise.
White County generally ia making
groat strides in poultry. There are
nearly 500 boys and girls in the
county, who have this year Joined a
poultry club, when solicited by the
county home demonstration agent.
White County has a half million dol
lar commercial poultry business each
year.

A RECORD.
(Dedicated to our Dead.)
(By David Morton, B. S. '09.)
And these rode forth, and came not
home again,"
So runs the cryptic story from old
time,
Of come who saved a city, nameless
men
Whose glory sweetens still the tale
and rhyme.
Long since, those towers are scatter
ed in the grass.
The earth forgets what treasure
had they then;
And still this briefest record will not
pass,
Of some gone forth, who came not
home again.
So let it be with us, and with our
Dead:
The ancient danger and the an
cient need,
The ancient answer given where they
bled;
Let later-comers, musing as they
read,
Find here a record of a race of men:
'And these rode forth, and came
not home again."

BRANDING A LIE
A report has been circulated through this commuity
that the principal objection to the Fordson Tractor is
that it will "rare up" and turn over, thereby injuring or
killing the operator. We want to state as emphatically
as it is possible to state that this is a lie out of the whole
cloth and emanates only from disgruntled parties. We
state open and above board that the Fordson Tractor
will not "rare up" or turn over any more quickly than
any tractor of any make at any price. We state further
that it is possible to turn over any tractor of any make
at any price, provided it is overloaded. But the ' possi
bility 'of turning over a Fordson Tractor is no greater
under normal load and conditions than any tractor of
any make on the American market. Therefore we re
peat that the statement that has gone forth in this com
munity that the Fordson Tractor will "rare up" or turn
over any quicker than any other tractor under normal
conditions is a malicious lie that is fabricated to injure
the sale of the Fordson Tractor.
