BOYS CORN CLUB.


IN education which is receiving SO
,snuch attention as is that which
pertains to the practical phases of
farming and home-making.
The Importance of this move.
ment is apparent when we consider
the decreasing fertility of the soil,
the increase of population, and the
alarming number of boys and girls
who yearly leave the farm for the
city and become food consumers
instead of food producers.
The movement to develop agri-
culture was begun in 1862, when
Congress established the Depart
ment of Agriculture and also gave
to each State an endowment of
lands with which to establish a
State college of agriculture and
mechanic arts. Agricultural ex-
pertinent stations have been estab-
lished in various parts of the States
and farmers institutes have done
much to broaden the farmers view
of his work and place farming on
scientific basis.
But these forces fail to reach the
masses, and attention is now turn
ing to the rural schools to better
assist in the spread of scientific
agricultural knowledge.
For this purpose the Boys Corn
Clubs we're organized by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
This organization gives system to
the work and enables the depart
ment to send literature to the school
boys explaining the work of seed
selection, preparation of ground,
planting, and cultivation, all of
. which is done absolutely free of
cost.
We are always looking out for
the things that will benefit our
country schools and raise their
efficiency to the people of the
county, and after talking to num-
ber of the leading teachers of the
county and being assured of their
cooperation, we have decided to
begin the organization of the Boys
Corn Club in Benton County. In
doing this we are not only assured
of the teachers cooperation, but a
number Of prominent citizens have
promised their help, and though
nothing definite has been done
some members of the Farmers
Union, that splendid organization
ever ready to benefit the crop pro-
ducer, have given assurance of a
substantial premium to encourage
the work.
The plan has been in part ex-
plained to a number Of teachers,
but in order to be fully understood
a more definite statement will be
given:
Cd Any boy between the ages
of ten and eighteen years may be-
come a member of the club by
having his teacher send in his
7name and request for membership
10 the County Superintendent, or
by sending same himself direct to
the Superintendent, and agreeing
to tend one acre of corn next year.
(2) The members of the club
must agree to study the instruc-
tions OF the Farmers Cooperative
Demonstration Work.
(3) Each boy must plan his crop
and do his own work; except a
small boy may hire help in break
ing land.
Further rules governing exhibits
of corn, awarding of prizes, etc,
1ill be given later. No fees will
be charged for membership. A

The well-known elephant act
where five young women get on
the backs of the elephants, each
elephant politely holding out his
foot for his fair rider to mount,
contains many dangers that the
public does not even think of.
The huge foot is likely to be put
down suddenly at any moment
for there is never any knowing
what an elephant will do-which
would mean an ugly fall, with
the possibility of being stepped,
on by the elephant; or the huge
beast might calmly put up his
trunk and lift his rider off. This
is a pretty. graceful act, but
most uncoHlIOrCdple Ill llldAy
ways for the girl performers.
The rough hair of the elephants
cuts their hands and ankles; they
come in contact With the dirt and
grease of the animals skin; and
the few moments that they stand
on the elephant S back while they
give their little salute are very
insecure.
