 The record hook used hy the child and the teacher's record sheet 

 were sli<j^htly revised for use durin«i^ the season of 1!)17. The main 

 features are the same, but some changes have been made to meet a 

 few new conditions which have arisen. For instance, the old record 

 provides for no place in which the chiM could keep a record of 

 money loaned to it for seed and plowing. With huge gardens coming 

 into favor, a need for such a form has arisen. ^lost of the printing 

 was done bv the school vocational class. 



A SMALL FLOCK OF HENS ON A LARGE POULTRY FARM. 



-I stxdciW.s nroid. — The following completed record is not the 

 l)est from the standpoint of neatness and literary executi(m. It 

 was selected because the boys (two brothers) who operated the 

 garden probably learned more about intensive garden practice than 

 any of the other members of the clubs. They also kept their finan- 

 cial record in a creditable nuinner. How new they were to this 

 work is evidenced by the fact that these two boys spaded under 

 an unused back yard last season to make their first trial at garden 

 work. In some instances the certificates of only one of the boys 

 are shown.
