that an effort to find an instruc-
t-who could handle both agri,
culture and shop classes had fail­
ed.
Harlow Hotrum headed a com-
rr rtee which made an initial sur-
vtfy of agriculture possibilities
here in order to g?t state approv-
i. of adding such courses; He
t d Don Bayley were present at
t>.e Monday night meeting to
p (-sent th"se facts and they will
b used in an effort to work out
such a program for the 1958-57
school year.

THIS FARM identification sign, the first in Columns county, was erected through the combined ef­
forts of the Merry Stitchers 4-H Club, led by Mrs George Harper and the Merry Eawing Girls,
.ed by Mrs. P. J. Merrill, all of Yankton. This pro.ect was first brought up by the Farm and Home
Rural Life committee and then endorsed by the C lu mb.a County Leaders Association as the one
which they were most interested in having 4-H C ubs carry out this year. It is hoped that other
clubs in the county will follow the lead taken by t .e Yankton clubs. Information as to dimensions,
cost of materials and cost to the farmers who subs ribe to these identification signs can be obtained
from the 4-H Club agent at the county extension of ice. St. Helens.
