It reads:

Congratulations to the seven counties which finished this year’s Farming For Better Living program with 100 percent completions. They are Lewis, Doddridge, Braxton, Barbour, Pendleton, Randolph and Pocahontas. It took a lot of hard work by the councils, Extension Service representatives, the newspaper editors and to everyone who had a part in the program. They are to be commended.
