9o8 Rural School Leaflet. 



on the ground. The meadows and hills were clear and bright. There 

 were no haze on them. As I looked up at the sky I saw clear blue and 

 white clouds there. There were no heavy black ones. As I looked 

 at the north I felt no wind in my face. The sun is not bright this month. 

 There is a little sun in the morning but not much. Some days as I walk 

 along the road I see dandelions still in blossom, sometime I can hear 

 the sounds of some water and the rustling of the leaves, and lots of 

 sounds of birds. I think this is all for this time. Hope to hear from 

 you soon. Your friend

(Before reading the following letter, note the questions asked in the 

 November Leaflet.) 



Miss Alice G. McCloskey: — 



Mr. Oscar Hills is more successful in growing pumkpins in this neigh- 

 borhood. He is more successful because he knows just how to prepare 

 the groun than other farmers. 



Mrs. Will Green has been more successful in growing celery, because 

 he took good care of it. The celery must be banked up, and most celery 

 must be left in the ground until it is bleached, who plants celery they 

 must know how to plant it, and care for it. 



Mr. Floyed Gothan raised the best turkeys near my home. 



When you come to my town next week when you come from the 

 depot, you turn to your left and go down the second st. that goes east. 

 Keep going on the straight road and the first farm you come to and 

 that is the place. This farmer is successful in raising turkeys because 

 he knows how to tend to them. He has raised about one hundred 

 turkeys. He relized fifty nine thousand dollars. The raising of turkeys 

 is profitable in this community. 



Cranberries grow at Cranberry lake. 



No there isent any bright colored berries that would look well for 

 decorations on a Thanksgiving Day. 



No I could not find any of the vines you asked to. Nor have I ever 

 decorated a table with hemlock cones and sprays of dark green needles. 



Perhaps you should find very few boys and girls than would place 

 cards beside each plate. 



I enjoy reading these leaflets very much and I learn very many things 

 about the birds the chickens the rabits. 



Those quotations were very nice in it and enjoy reading them. Must 

 close now. Yours sincerely
