Last spring quite an effort was made in the organization of a boys’ corn chib and girls’ 'poultry club over the county. Meetings were held in various parts of the county and quite a number of boy® and girls became interested in the work. It was the intention of County Agent Barrett to visit and advise with the children during the summer and to make the dub work really worth while to the bOys and girts. When the county agent work was discontinued it left the club work without a leader, but since that time County Superintendent Lamson has advised the boys and girls to keep up their work as faithfullyas they could under the conditions. Of those who went into the work last spring about 50 have continued. At the meeting of the 'board of education December 7th ft-was decided to "'encourage the work in every way possible and through box socials and other means to procure money to make the prized as planned in the spring.
