Farm Boys in Organization.

The good effect following the late
Boys State Fair school and the meet
ing at the recent County Farmers
Institute OF nearly two hundred farm
boys is apparent in the organization
by County Superintendent OF Schools
Prof Edgar c. Pruitt OF the Farm
Boys Brigade Of Sangamon county.
Mr.. Pruitt was a member OF the
state commission. having charge OF
the Boys State Fair school. and has
been much impressed with the eager
ness OF the farm boys OF this county
ment having for its object the study
OF the most advanced method OF sue
cessful agriculture. On Wednesday of
the 1910 state fair he was successful
in having nearly every rural school
in the county represented at the
great agricultural end Industrial eI
position by the brightest boy in his
class
The farm boys OF the county are
thoroughly enthused as 10 the great
possibility for usefulness In promot-
ing the agricultural Interests of the
county and only need the co-opera-
tion Of their parents to insure results
that will add largely to the wealth OF
the county by the more general adop-
ton and practise Of the most ad-
vanced and successful methods OF
farming
The Farm Boys club that was or
ganized by County superintendent
Pruitt will try TO do a few things
thoroughly and in a way that will be
most creditable 10 the boys of this
county.
The first proposition TO be consid-
cred is the sending TO the state col
lege OF agriculture next month at Ur-
bana of a large number OF boys TO the
short course Of study in corn and live
stock Judging and lectures on various
phases OF agriculture and animal hus-
bandry. In January, 1909. more than
forty farm boys from this county at
tended the short course Of instruc-
ton at the college OF agriculture. An
earnest effort will be made TO have
AZ least one hundred boys from this
county present at the short course at
Urbana. January 1928. 1911.
The second matter that will re
ceive the attention OF the Farm Boys
brigade OF this county will be corn
