I Stonewall Boys and Girls
1 Enlist For Food Production
A large percentage of school boys
and girls are anxious to Kelp their
County produce food for victory,
i his is reflected in the meetings held
by County Agent C. H, Bates dur-
ing the past week, in which the pro-
gram was discussed with more than
200 youths.
All the youngsters want to help to
the full extend of their resources ac-
cording to Mr. Bates. Hoys are usu-
ally interested in caif, pig and lamb
feeding, and crop production. The
girls are willing to work with poul-
try and gardening enterprises. Al-
thouh a number of them will also
i.se animal demonstrations.
Every family having boys or girls
who might contribute to the vital
food production program will be
be contacted in the club expansion
el fort. The full use of our man po-
wer capacity is not being made un-
til the boys and girls are called upon
*9 volunteer. The ctounty agent's oi-
fice is no more enthusiastic about the
piogram than all the school authori-
ties of the county.
RAI N
The good soil of Stonewall Coun-
ty has been well soaked with needed
moisture this week by the good rain.
At 7 o'clock Thursday morning, ac-
cording to Albert Baugh, a total oi
1.74 inches had fallen, this is in com-
parison with .57 inches to this time
last year. Previous to this rain we
had received .05 inches this year.
This moisture is very welcome, not
only to the ranches and fields but the
orchards and plants will be greatly
benefitted. Those who are thinking
of raising a victory garde this year
can get started in a big way now.

"Anyone who keeps livestock on
a small or large scale may confiden-
tly expect to profit by applying mxl-
cin disease-prevention practises ir
