good results in seed selection at the

II is well TO get an expert from

from an Agricultural College to aid
In this work. In hundreds OF in

Wherever there is an Agent OF the
Department OF Agriculture he gladly

ceilent cooperation from Secretaries
OF Boards OF Trade. Farmers Unions
and other organizations. In fact,
anyone who Is willing to help with
this work can fnd something to do.
At the FIRST meeting for the year
the boys should organize. enroll their
names. and elect their own officers.
As soon as the list OF names is sent

circulars on seed selection, deep

recommend that the prizes be award

the exhibit OF ears and stalks, the

Soon after the Boys Club work Is
well started. prizes are usually offer
ed on other crops than corn. Very
frequently prizes are offered to girls
for flowers, vegetables, cooking and
sewing. You can very readily see
how an attractive exhibit can be held
at the county court house in the fall.

have led to the establishment OF ex-
