Oxen to Tractor Portrayed in Mural
Olney Home Demmers Visit
Texas Cities, Annual Trip
Great Grandpa tilled his eroded fields with a yoke of oxen and a wooden plow. Tractors do the
job today, and this advance in agricultural engineering from the early days to the present modern
methods is depicted in a five-panel mural which was recently completed for the lecture room walls
in the Agricultural Engineering Building at Texas A&M College. One of the most ambitious student
mural projects ever attempted in the Southwest, the paintings are by Miss Gertrude Babcock, recent
graduate of the Fine Arts Department of Texas State College for Women,
Dan Scoates, late head of the Agricultural Engineering Department at A&M, conceived the idea
and passed it on to a manufacturer of farm machinery who made the mural possible. The imfnense
paintings took Miss Babcock approximately one year.

Reviews Club Work
Continuing the series of articles*
written by outstanding 4-H club
demonstrators in the county, Phy-
lis Jamison, clothing demonstrator
of the South Bend club, has writ-
ten the following story concerning
her activities and achievements
during the year.
This is my first year to be a dem-
onstrator, and I have enjoyed it
immensely.
Since becoming demonstrator I
have improved my home in several

ways, for example: my clothes clo-
set. The entire family uses this
closet, therefore it is very large.
The dimensions are about four by
eight. On the north side there is a
large window which makes it very
sunny and light. There are six large
shelves, three on each side, where
we place shoes and magazines or
papers. Also there are two rods, one
on each side of the closet. On one
side my father and mother hang
their clothing; on the other side
my clothing and my two sisters are
hung. I have the clothing separat-
ed by paste board pieces. On each
of these I have the person’s name
written for identification. This sav-
es times when hunting for clothing.
I have recently added a shoe rack
to my closet. Later on, I plan to
make a larger rack. The closet did
not need papering again so terribly
bad, so I did not paper it.
By furnishing a sewing box, I
have saved much time. I do not
have to hunt for pins or needles
now. Also it makes the work seem
easier to have all materials in one
box, ready for use.
Since becoming the demonstrator
for our club, I have learned to be
more careful about my grooming.
I used to bite my finger nails, but
Ltely I have broken myself of that
habit. My hands look much better
now. I try to take good care of my
hair. Good grooming is one of the
most important things to beauty
and good health, and I think every
girl should be careful to be well
groomed.
I wish to thank my cooperators
for the help they have given me,
Without them, I couldn’t have done
half so well as I really have. They
have made several good suggestions
which I have carried out and found
to be sucessful. Again I want to
;ay many thanks to everyone who
helped me.

Diet Is Adequate
A study of what the average Am-
erican family likes best was made
recently by Martha Logan, home
economic expert. Miss Logan con-
sulted many so-called “typical fam-
ilies.” She asked about 47,000 New
York visitors what they like to eat
at home.
Miss Logan’s report shows the
general diet standard is adequate,

THE JLD COUNTRY DOCTOR
Faithful to his duty he traveled the country, as patient and will-
ing in his service as the old horse Nellie that hauled his buggy.
General practitioner he was......the affectionately remembered
forerunner of the modern doctor. He, too, just as the physician of
today, knew the value of the reliable prescription pharmacy. He
knew that professional accuracy in compounding prescriptions was
just as vital as in his own conscientious work.
