The group sang two songs,” “Sing and Smile and Pray the Clouds Away,” and “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” The devotions were very good, given by Paul Kitley. The speaker for the evening was Norvel Colbert from Soil Conservation. He showed two very interesting films, ”R.ain Drops and Soil Erosion,” and ‘Permanent Agriculture.” We need to watch those little rain drops and see that they don’t take our soil away from us. We can do that by properly taking care of our soil so we won’t have “Soil Erosion.” If you have problems, see Mr. Colbert and he womld be glad to help you. Next month we want to honor the oldest and youngest Farm Bureau mother present. We will also have vocal and instrumental music for the contest. Tlie meeting was adjourned and refreshments were served.
