FAEMER BOYS' ENCAMPMENT. 



As Superintendent of the Farmer Boy Encampment, 

 I have the honer to render you the following report : 



There were present at the Parmer Boy Encampment 

 100 boys. These boys were met at the trains and es- 

 corted to camp. Monday the following routine was es- 

 tablished : 



Reveille— 6:00 A. M. 



Roll Call. 



Physical Exercises— 20 minutes. 



Police Duty. 



Breakfast— 7:00 A. M. 



Lantern Slides and Lectures — Forenoon. 



Dinner— 12:00 A. M. 



Visiting Exhibits — ^Afternoon. 



Horse Show — Evenings. 



Check Roll Call and to bed immediately after show. 



The membership consisted of members of the Com 

 and Pig Clubs and boys appointed by members of the 

 Board of Agriculture from counties having no such or- 

 ganizations. 



.No accidents, no sickness. Kenzie Crutcher, of Nioh- 

 olasville, Ky., was sent home upon advice of Dr. McCor- 

 mack because of a bladder trouble evident before he left 

 home. 



Quarters were comfortable and convenient, canvas 

 ample. 



No disobedience or infractions of rules. Had a few 

 sure enough boys, that were disposed on the first night 

 to become a little rough and have some horse play, but 

 this was soon ended. 



The boys were the recipients of many courtesies, 

 visiting Louisville one day in a body. They were given 

 souvenirs and soda waters; went in and through Levy 

 Bros. ' store ; through the First National Bank at 5th and 

 Jefferson, and looked on the city from its top; were 

 taken all through a big steam boat and many other places 

 of interest. 



Their caps admitted them gratis to Conn T., Kenne- 

 dy's Shows and to the Pavillion. 



They were addressed by several notables, having 

 among others a dairy cattle lecture by Hugh Van Pelt.
