A ewe flock is the only permanent live stock .projeet at the present time. Frank Brandenburg, instructor, is in charge ,of the purebred Hampshires this summer. There are 13 purebred lambs in Sudan pasture on the small 3-,acre farm, while the ewe flock of 20 head is being grazed in the city park. The department has only enough netting wire to fence half of the park at one timet so the fence is moved every few weeks. This aids in stomach worm control. The noticeable fact in the grove of trees and bluegrass is that the ewes have cleaned up nearly al] the weeds ' where they have grazed. , , The sheep project showed a profit of $146.59 when the inventory was taken

One might wonder how a county farm ers' organization can afford to own a Sudan Makes Quick Growth machine of this kind. The answer lies in the wide opportunity for entertain ment and education, afforded by show ing films to the boys and girls as well as to adults. Cartoons, with music and sound ef fect, are rented by the Farm Bureau at $3 a week. They are kept 2 weeks. In dustrial films and those from the U.·S. Department of Agriculture may be ob tained by paying the transportation charges. These usually amount to $3. At these figures Mr. Zitnik can arrange a program of movies filling about 1 'h hours, showing at a series of 10 or 12 community meetings at a cost of only $9 for film. He plans a program of this kind every 2 months. Meetings are arranged for commu nity buildings where power is avail able. Everyone likes the comedies, and even the children take an interest in the unusual educational films. About 30 minutes speaking is included on the evening's program, making 2 hours in all. Mr. Zitnik says the moving picture machine serves two purposes; it is edu cational, and provides entertainment. Many of the educational films show such scenes as the national corn husk ing contests, big livestock and dairy Sudan grass 31 days after planting.
