by your soil. Make a report of the results of this experiment. If you 

 will send this to us we will be ven,' much pleased for we are interested. 

 If there is no fire in your schoolroom Saturdays and Sundays, carry on 

 this experiment at the home of one of the members of your club. 



Now will you do something for us ? There is to be a convention of 

 school superintendents and teachers at Syracuse next December. 

 We are going to have an exhibit there and we want to show those 

 persons what the Farm Boys' Clubs are doing. We are asking you, 

 lads, to stand behind us in this and help. We want something from 

 every Farm Boys' Club. We want the best you can give us — something 

 that is truly the result of the work of some of the members of the club. 

 Perhaps a collection of five or ten good ears of corn that someone in your 

 club has grown, or five good potatoes or beets, or a collection of the 

 leaves or bark or seeds of some common trees neatly labeled. Send us 

 something. We will pay expressage if the weight is not over ten pounds. 

 Send it C. O. D. to me here at the College of Agriculture, Ithaca, N. Y. 



Well, they won't let me write any more because I have already taken 

 too much space. Next month I am going to tell you about cornstalk 

 fiddles and how to make funny shadows on the wall at night. 



Now that I have written you a letter I should like to have you write 

 me one. If you do, maybe I will write one back to you all alone. 



Don't forget to do these four things (i) organize your club; (2) make 

 the fertilizer experiment; (3) send us something for our exhibit; 

 (4) write to Uo. 



Yours for many gay hours in November winds, 



M. P. Jones.
