Breeders Endow Stanchions 
One of the Features at Pennsylvania Farmers' Week 
T he first Winter Farmers’ Week since 
February, 1919, was held at the 
Pennsylvania State College the week of 
December 18. The registration of 
farmers and others interested in agri¬ 
culture, placed the attendance at the 
200 mark for this winter event. College 
officials in charge of the program 
gauged its success on the enthusiasm, 
rather than the number of those who 
participated in the numerous instruc¬ 
tional features. Bad roads and the 
approach of the holiday season were 
advanced as the main factors respon¬ 
sible for the deficiency in attendance. 
From the list of 150 discussions, 
demonstrations, and lectures that the 
agricultural school offered the farmer- 
visitors to Penn State, several meetings 
stand out more prominently than others. 
The greatest interest in any division 
was generally to be found in that group 
which satisfied the farmer’s appetite for 
information on the use of better meth- 
0 (ls in the distribution of his products. 
Discussions on marketing, economics, 
better management practices and the 
most recent developments in livestock 
production, dairying, crop raising, fruit 
and vegetable growing, poultry manage¬ 
ment and farm engineering, found the 
farmer attentive and keen for an open 
forum with authorities on the various 
subjects. 
Dairymen Endow Stanchions 
If special prominence is to be assigned 
to any one event on the three-day pro¬ 
gram, it is that in which 26 enterpris¬ 
ing Pennsylvania dairy farmers and 
associations, each presented the Penn¬ 
sylvania State College with a pure-bred 
cow or heifer, selected from among the 
best individuals in each herd. Last 
summer, prominent dairymen launched 
a campaign to “Endow an Empty Stan¬ 
chion at State College” in an effort to 
rebuild the college dairy herd, which 
was severly cut down in quantity and 
quality as a result of tuberculosis in 
1915. 
On Dairy Breeders’ Field Day, the 
cattle were exhibited in the live-stock 
judging pavilion. Of the entire group 
on exhibit, there were 14 Holsteins, 6 
Ayrshires, 5 Jerseys, and one Guernsey. 
All of them displayed splendid breed 
type and gave every indication that 
they would be a great credit to the 
college herd. The most interesting pic¬ 
ture of the ceremony was that in which 
Mary Josephine McBracken, a fourteen- 
year old high school girl, delivered her 
pet three-year old heifer, Pollyanna 
Segis DeKol, into the keeping of the 
college dairy officials. This little Miss 
easily commanded every gaze as she 
tripped unhesitatingly through her 
choicely-worded speech, one which 
seemed to typify the spirit that prompt¬ 
ed each donor to give one of his cows 
to the college. 
Program Exceptionally Good 
The dairy program in its entirety 
was exceptionally good. State Secre¬ 
tary of Agriculture, Fred Rasmussen, 
at one time in charge of Penn State’s 
dairy department, told the farmers what 
the future held in store for the dairy 
industry. H. H. Wing, of Cornell Uni¬ 
versity, and J. C. McDowell, of the 
federal division, also spoke on impor¬ 
tant developments in the fields of 
dairying. 
Some of the meetings in each division 
of the farm sessions eame(l the dis¬ 
tinction of particular merit. The talk 
on mineral feeds for live stock, by Dr. 
E. B. Forbes, director of the Institute 
of Animal Nutrition, threw light on a 
subject with which most farmers are 
as yet quite unfamiliar. Recent de¬ 
velopments in nutrition, as portrayed 
in a series of lantern-slides and a dis¬ 
cussion, by Ri A. Dutch er, was another 
lecture hour that attracted a large 
crowd. 
Future Must Be Bright 
{Continued from page 2) 
ested care. As the farm we are going 
on is one that has not been properly 
farmed for about fifteen years, and also 
as we are going there i i debt for every 
item we will need for a start, the future 
has just natui’ally got to look bright to us. 
We feel sure that sooner or later, 
if the farmers can only hold out, co¬ 
operation will win and give us all a 
chance at a little enjoyment after the 
long strife. Surely with any fair show 
at all, the farmers should make good. 
When the very many advantages of 
country life are considered we are cer¬ 
tain that we can do better there than 
at anything else, even though at 
present our assets are merely youth, 
fair health and strength, and a desire 
to make a real home for ourselves and 
our boys where they can grow up nat¬ 
urally. “It is always darkest just be¬ 
fore dawn,” you know. Your paper 
will always be a member of our family, 
as it seems as if it would be impossible 
to get along without it.—Maybelle

York City. 
The women who helped the survey 
learned much about the health condi¬ 
tions jn the schools of the State. If 
you were one of them you found that 
the healtn conditions of your school 
depends on public opinion in your com¬ 
munity. If you were not one of these 
women, put on your hat and coat now, 
and walk down the snowy road to your 
schoolhouse. Find out about the place 
your children live in when they are 
away from home, what they are taught 
about health, and whether this teaching 
really makes them want to practice the 
health habits. Then tell your Women’s 
Club or your Parent-Teacher’s Associa¬ 
tion, or your church, or your neighbor 
what you have found out and what you 
think should be done, and work with 
them to do it. ' • 
Printed Programs Will Help 
If you would like help on deciding 
how to go about it, the Child Health 
Organization of America, 370 Seventh 
Avenue, New York, has published a 
pamphlet for your guidance on “A 
School Health Program for Parent- 
Teacher’s Associations and Women’s 
Clubs.” It contains a definite plan of 
action, with programs for meetings and 
a complete list of references for papers 
or discussions. A regular boy, called 
Jack Belden, also appears in the book¬ 
let, and tells in letters and pictures 
what he thinks of health teaching. This 
same Jack “listened in” on the wome.n 
who came to call on his teacher during 
the School Health Survey, and this is 
what he wrote to his cousin Jim: 
“Dear Jim: 
“Mrs. Martin came to our school to¬ 
day to see Miss Bell. She is the wife 
of Mr. Martin. He let Bud and me 
come in his orchard and pick up apples. 
Well, this Mrs. Martin asked Miss Bell 
a whole lot of questions, all about 
whether it was a good school for our 
health. She didn’t stick Miss Bell once. 
Only, of course, she could see for her¬ 
self, anyway, whether we were healthy 
or not, and the floor clean and the win¬ 
dows open. Well, all us kids hoped 
she’d keep ‘ on asking questions till it 
was time for ’rithmetic to be over, but 
pretty soon she stopped and said: ‘This 
is such a flne school, I don’t suppose 
you need anything, do you. Miss Bell?’ 
and then everyone yelled at once, be¬ 
cause just yesterday Miss Bell made 
us rite a composition on ‘what our 
school needs,’ and when you know the 
answer to a question you almost burst 
if you can’t tell it. 
“Well, Mrs. Martin had to put her 
hands over her ears, and Miss Bell 
laffed and said she would send our 
compositions to the Wimmins Club. As 
for her, she said the thing the school 
needed most was the interest and help 
of the hole town, and then it would 
turn us out good and healthy, and be a 
credit to it. So then' Mrs. Martin left 
and there was enough time left of the^ 
’rithmetic clas4 for Miss Bell to find out 
I didn’t know my lesson. The wimmin 
are on their job in this town, Jim, I’ll 
tell the world.”—Grace T. Hallock and 
Anna L. Sworts, of the Child Health 
Organization.
