fertilizer to improve their pastures.
They began sowing clover and
grass on their cropland because
they knew their crops wouldn’t do
any good without moisturs, and
who knew how many years it
would be dry as in 1961.

the school farm, located north of
the J. E. Persons’ home. During
the year of 1962, five pigs for
pork were raised by Dale Madden
and Nolan McCormick.

The boys raise the pigs by team-
ing up in pairs and then spliting

All feed, equipment, and the
pigs themselves are furnished by
the chapter and school cafeteria.
Money used to buy the feed and
pigs is deducted from the money
made from marketing the pigs.
