THINGS TO DO. 



1. Count the seeds in each grape of a cluster. Does 

 the number vary? 



2. Find out how many varieties of grapes are grown 

 in your neighborhood, or shown in your local market. 



3. Compare a grape and apple leaf and write a de- 

 scription of each. 



4. Make a drawing of each, showing the veining. 



5. Tell how many trees a fruit grower can plant in 

 an acre if the trees are set thirty- five feet apart? 



"The district school cannot teach agriculture any 

 more than it can teach law or engineering or any other 

 profession or trade, but it can interest the child in nature 

 and in rural problems and thereby fasten its sympathies 

 to the country." — L. H. Bailey. 



''The soil, cultivated plants, domestic animals, are 

 not simple and elementary things, easy to be apprehended
