How the course has worked out in the Big Sandy school is shown in a number of instances. Possibly the most outstanding is in the case of Myron and Charles Ensl«»y. ’these hoys planted 20 acres in corn in 1923 and as a result the 20 acres netted them $ 1,000 in addition to tlie valu able experience they gained.

The boys do a lot of other things of a practical nature. There Is no harness shop in Big Sandy, and as a part of their training the boys must learn to repair harness. So farmers are invited to bring in their hames3 and have it repaired by the boys. The only expense to the farmer Is the cost of the material required. Just now the amount of harness on hand to be repaired by the boys indicates the farmers are taking advantage of Ihe opportunity. .In addition to the repairing of har ness the boys judge livestock, cult, chickens ad many, other things.
