The adult farmer farm mange¬ ment course this year will be "Pro¬ ducing Quality Feed." Last year's course was "Producing Quality Milk." This yea'r ten-week course will include a study of soil, plant, animal, and consumer relation¬ ships.
Ten intensive meetings have been planned by the Committee for Ag¬ riculture Education. Last year's management course was very suc¬ cessful in attendance and pratical application. Again this year the Muntley High School feels "Pro¬ ducing Quality Feed" will aid those attending the course. Over one hundren farm people attended the adult farmer course last year.
"Producing Quality Feed" will be taught on Thursday evening at 8:00 P.M; starting January 9. There is no pre-registration for this course. Nexts Week's paper will give a complete outline of the course and a list of resource people to be used at each fil^ss meeting.

Yule Tide Poent
Village Store (Yuletide Memories)
Come again the Christmas season	
Of a small mid-western village ^
And a place called "Schmalz's Store". (9li Brave in all its Christmas trappings, Gaily decked with dolls and toys, Once a year supreme attraction For the village girls and boys. How we hurried from the school house Soon as study hours were o'er, Flocked like noisy, chattering magpies To the thrills of "Schmalz's Store"! Ah, the dolls! So truly gorgeous! Satin-skirted, teeth like pearls,
Sleeping eyes and flaxen tresses	
Made to torture little girls.
"Old Maid" games and ribbon candy,
Peanut brittle, balky mules.
Picture books and "Christmas mixture".
Toy pianos, mimic tools;
Dolly buggies, cunning flatirons,
Marbles, tops, and dominoes	
Everything to help old Santa Stuff the stockings to the toes. Candy bead strings, rainbow ccjndles, Fruits ne'er seen on land or sea. Red-striped canes and tinsel garlands. Glistening angels for the tree"- Ropes of green and bells of scarlet,
"Live—forever" wreaths of holly	
Nothing lacking one mighty wish for To make Christmas bright and jolly. Years have passed and time in passing Changes bring to me and you,
Cities fall and kingdoms tumble	
The little store has vanished, too	
But could anyone who knew it Thirty years ago or more Ever half forget the splendors Christmas brought to "Schmalz's Store"?
