Notes from the Ag Class Pruning of the peach orchard is finished and the boys are now working on the apple trees. Most of this pruning consists of heading back the tops of the trees as the trees are too tall to either pick or spray efficiently. Classwork recently, besides pruning, has consisted of study and practice in culling laying hens. Six of the boys have fattening pig projects, three have calf projects, one a dairy cow project, and the Ag class has charge of 50 hens in the small poultry house.
