THE COVINGTON NEWS
Future Farmers
Co-operate in
Orchard Work
The Future Farmers of the
Palmer-Stone Chapter are coop
erating with the vocational de
partment in a community orchard
program. In the class room the
d °y s were taught the jobs of prun
in 8 and spraying fruit trees. As
follow-up work the boys took the
pruning tools home and pruned
their home orchards. After the
P run i n g work was finished they
cooperated with Mr. Coleman
spraying the home orchard.
Mr. Coleman is • working , • with ...
+v, the 0 farmers of _* the community al- ,
3 _r
so in pruning and A spraying. . The
equipment is furnished v j / by the ,7 de- ,
partment. who The farmers move the
equipment from farm to farm and
learn how to do the work for
themselves. Each t- . one pays a small ,,
fee to cover the cost of materials
and to help pay for the equip
ment. In this way no one pays
very much and they all have a
chance to produce good fruit for
home use. Several hundred
have been pruned and sprayed
this way.
The owners who have cooperat
ed in this work are well pleased
with the results. As soon as the
winter soray is finished and the
trees begin to bloom, spraying will
begin for the control of the plum
curculio, which causes wormy
peaches.
The time has come when one
cannot have good fruit without
constant care of the orchard.
Pruning, spraying and treatment
for borers must be done regularly,
just as routine jobs are done in
any other enterprise. It is the
purpose of our vocational depart
ment to teach these jobs to the
boys and farmers and cooperate
with them in every way to carry
them out on the farm.
Those who are interested in
this work should see Mr. Coleman
or the vocational teacher and make
arrangements for the service.

Colored School
By One of the Students
The faculty and student body
of the Washington Street School
are still progressing by leaps and
bounds as the months roll swiftly
by. The basketball team is to be
commended for the very fine
showing that they have made this
season. The boys won eight games
out of ten. We also desire to thank
Professor Holmes for the fine
coaching that he rendered both
teams this year. We are very for
tunate in securing the aid of a
coach as efficient in the coaching
of Basketball as Professor Holmes.
The boys’ team is scheduled to go
to Gainesville to participate in the
tournament that is to be held on
the fifteenth of this month. We
are expecting our boys to bring
the winning cup back to us this
Friday night.
During the month of February,
two plays were presented in the
school auditorium. The first one
presented, by the Sixth and Sev
enth Grades, was entitled "The
Hoodooed Coon.” This was a
playlet filled with humor that sent
the people home with their faces
full of smiles. The High School
Department presented, “Oh Doc
tor!” This was a very fine per
formance and the students are to
be commended for such a fine
performance.
On the March calendar, there is
scheduled one of the finest plays j
ever presented at the Washington
Street school, It is entitled “Dust
of (he Earth.” This very fine play
is under the direction of Profes
A .M. Tonsil. Any person miss
ing this wonderful play, will miss ;
one of the best plays that they
ever witness in the Washing-j
Street School. The exact date
the play will be announced at]
