Moore County Youth Enjoying Farm Life Camp, Aug. 15, 1924

Farm Life Camp

Thirty-five boys and girls of Moore county are enjoying a four-day outing at Farm Life School this week, under the direction of Miss Bryan, Home Demonstration Agent; Miss Flora MacDonald of Carthage, Home Economics teacher at the Farm Life School, and R.G. Hutcheson, superintendent of Farm Life School.

The girls are learning to can, sew, cook and make pine needle baskets, while the boys are being taught the differences in grasses and legumes, their value as farm crops, the value of pure bred live stock, and how to judge live stock. The boys are also learning the sources of fertilizing materials and home mixing.

On Tuesday morning a trip was made to the Pinehurst Dairy and piggery; and on Tuesday evening, thru the courtesy of Mr. Picquet and Mr. Tufts, trucks were sent over to convey the campers to the moving picture show at Southern Pines.

On Wednesday evening Mrs. H.F. Seawell and daughter, Miss Ella Meade Seawell of Carthage, will entertain the children with a story-hour from 8 to 9 p.m. On Thursday afternoon the children will have a picnic supper at Crystal Lake Park, Lakeview.

Camp will break on Friday morning. No personal canvass was made for members, and since the camp was worked up entirely through the local papers, gratification is felt at the success of the camp. From all appearances, the children have not had a dull moment, and are thoroughly enjoying the outing.
