The plan is usually financed by a local banker or commercial club, the youngsters giving1 their unsecured notes for the calf and often for the term of the contest. Kven when the reed is grown upon his father's farm the boy is required to buy It at a fair market price, as one of the most important . things is that he shall keep ull the costs incident to bringing" his animal to full maturity. The wonderful results which are secured by these young; beef raisers have made their elders realize that there is something for them to learn from wll-direetej effort. Judging teams are also developed from these bright clubs, in which the 'girls are as keen as the boys.

In most cases you will be money ahead if you cut out merchantable whole corn altogether, except for maybe a little a tthe finish, and feed a corn gluten feed, linseed or cottonseed meal, ration with unlimited roughage.

The program for the several hundred Hoosier b-'-'y and girl club members who will attend the annual round-up at Purdue university April 21, 22, 23 and 21 was completed today and promises plenty of pleasure as well as work. More than Ö00 youngsters are expected for the round-up, which is the first time that the club members have gathered here except at the time of the annual farmers' short course in January. Monday will be devoted to registration, and the -second day, April 22, the program will start at S o'clock with a brief address of welcome Ty Pres't W. E. Stone and a 20-minute talk on "Opportunities for Indiana Boys and Girls" by Dean J. H. Skinner of the Purdue college of agriculture. F. M. t?hanklin. in charge of the pig club work, then will give an illustrated lecture and Z. M. Smith, state club leader, will outline plans for the entire week. The boys and girls will have -separate sessions part of the time, and the youthful farmers will be givei. instruction in the jue'ging of hogs, beef, and dairy cattle, sheep and horse?, judging of corn, feeding of livestock for sl ow purposes; shown how to combat the weeds foand on the farm, prepire seed beds, pick the layers from the loafers in the farm poultry ilock, to handle properly a tractor, prune and spray orchards, etc. The girls will not only receive instruction in baking, sewing, canning, home nursing work, preparation of school lunches, ' etc., but demonstrations for their benefit will be given in all these lines by club organizeis and Miss Grace Goodpasture of the elepartment of agriculture. A team of Montgomery county girls will give a canning demonstration. Prof. G. I. Christie, assistant secretary of agriculture will address the boys and girls for a short time on Wednesday morning of that week and T. J. Newbill, of the department of agriculture, will be on the program the day before. Besides all the instruction and demonstrational work which the boys and girls will get. certain periods for all kinds of games are set apart each day. The club members will enjoy an egg barbecue one evening as guests of the university students.

Here are the golden rules of farming as la ill down by a Pulaski county farmer, Harry White, who has met with an unusual degree of success: "First, the farm must be wull elrained; second, the farm must be well fenced; third, the farm must be well tilled." These things must be done with the mind ami hand and not too much with the auto, he also observed.

Failure to take enough exercise means poor digestion and assimilation of food and normal circulation cannot be maintained without exercise, sunshine anel fresh air. Plenty of exercise means that the offspring will be much more vigorous, healthy, and have greater resistance to disease, said Dr. KIgin.

TO IE

COMERS

The canning; club work in St. Joseph county has developed a young canning expert who is ready to meet all contestants in the art of preserving food. Tn the spring of 1917 Miss Lydia Ilowblitzel of Lakeville, joined a canning club. At that time she was 15 years old and when the contest was closed in the fall and the winner? were eletermined it was found that she carried off the honors and won the trip to the short course at Purdue university. In St. Joseph county it is understood that anyone winning one year in a particular project cannot win the Purdue trip another year in the same project. But thiT did not keep Lydia from continuing her canning. So in 191s she again took up this work and enteretl some of her products in the open class at the South Bend fair. When the prizes had been awarded it was found that the girl had triumphed over many of the veteran canners. She won first prize on pineapple. tomatoes, corn and pickles, and second prizes on peas, currants and cherries. Three years ago she also took up the sewing club work but was not successful in winning honors until II 18 when she won the trip to Purdue In this project. This is a good illustration of what boys arvi girls may accomplish if they are persistent and endeavor to improve their work. Xow she is an "All-star" club member and Is looked upon as a leader in the community. At a recent meeting of about 100 bens and girls of St. Joseph county she was elected as a delegate from her township to assist in making plans for the big doings this coming year. And from all appearances it looks as though the boys are keeping their eyes upon Miss Ilowblitzel. One of them nominated her for the township representative and was ready to light for her election when the chairman almost failed to receive the nomination. .

Another ccal shortage such as was experienced two years ago is threatened for next winter unless people begin to prepare now. Coal should be purchased now and stored in the home. Ii is essential that the coal supply be taken up and delivered as fast as it comes from the mines. If this is done, the problem will very likely be solved. There is no object in waiting to buy your coal. Prices will not come down. This is due largely to labor conditions and other features of the coal business over which we have no control. This is not a cheap effort to alarm you, but the advice is given in good faith in a sincere effort to escape a repetition of the sorry experience we all had in the winter of two years ago.
