Organization of Boys' Corn Club and Girls’ Poultry Club.

County Superintendent Ernest Lamson and County Agent Barrett have formulated plans and are ready now to proceed with the or ganization of a boys’ corn club and girls’ poultry club for Jasper county. Getting money to defray the expenses of prizes is the first obstacle in a work of this kind but by the circulation of subscription papers in various townships of the county that point is being very well taken care of and it is planned that the winner of each the boys’ corn club and. girls’ poultry club shall be given a free trip to Washington with representatives from, other counties in Indiana next winter, and that the winner in each township of each club shall be given a trip to Purdue to. the week’s short course. Either of these trips should be sufficient to stimulate every boy ; and every girl to join one or the other of these clubs and put forth their very best efforts to win out. Meetings have been arranged for various parts of the county, at which every boy and girl wishing to join these clubs should attend. Full information as to rules, prizes and something as to how best to proceed to raise the acre of corn and' chickens will be given out The meetings will be held as follows: Center school house in Gillam township at 9 o’clock, Friday, April 10. Wheatfield, 1 o’clock, Friday, April 10. Remington school building at 9 o’clock Saturday, April 11. County Agent Barrett’s office in the court house at 1 o’clock Saturday, April 11. Do not fail to be present at one or the other of these meetings and register in this club, for at that time the club members are to make application for eggs and if not satisfied with the corn which thej r may already have at hand, corn will be given them, and a picture of the various groups will be taken.
