FARM’ERS
Reporting on his year’s activities at the Oregon State Fair last week, 13-year-old David Shelby, of Albany (pop. 13,000), Ore. submitted his 4-H Club record book. The year, as David Shelby saw it:
November: Nothing special happened except our club elected officers. I didn’t make it.
December: Lily went dry.
January: Nothing special happened.
February: Same as January.
March: Lily had a heifer and I named it Designer Aim Rosette.
April: Blossom, my two-year-old cow went dry.
May: Everything went O.K.
June: Blossom had a calf, and I haven’t decided what to name it. I exhibited at the spring Jersey show and didn’t do too well.
July: Nothing special happened, except our house burned down.
