CLUBS FOR BOYS AND GIRLS
Various Agencies Have Taken InItI-
ative In Movement Under Par
ticular Local Conditions.

There have been few develop
ments In recent years Of greater edu-
cational interest and Significance
than the work done by associations
of boys and girls in agricultural and
domestic-art undertakings AS rule.
these have had their beginning in
some form Of competitive contest for
special occasions or awards. The or
ganization of clubs has usually been
an incidental outgrowth of the plans
for these contests, and the name ap-
piled to the organization itself has
varied widely with the different pur-
poses carried forward. Thus we find
clubs for corn growing. cotton grow
ing, potato growing. fruit growing.
roultry growing. livestock study. bird
study. home culture, and high-school
Improvement. All Of these have been
more or less agricultural in their gen
eral character.
To any who are unacquainted with
the nature Of such clubs 1t may be
explained that a corn-growing club is
an association Of boys who enter into
competition to determine which can
grow the most or the best corn on a
certain area of ground under definite
rules of planting, cultivation and ex-
hibit of their produce. A cotton
growing club would undertake a sim
liar competition in producing the best
yield Of cotton under prescribed con-
dltions. For girls these contests have
frequently taken the form of bread
making, sewing or joint contests with
Joys in gardening or poultry raising.
Various agencies have taken the in
itiative in starting this movement un-
der particular local conditions, but the
inspiration for statewide activity in
these lines has generally come from
some individual or official source con-
nected with the state department of
education. the state agricultural COL
lege, or the United States department
of agriculture.
The first statewide movement of
this kind began about 1898 in New
York. under the auspices of the Col
lege of Agriculture of Cornell univer-
sity, as development from its ma
ture-study lessons. This work has
now gone over the whole state and
has taken a variety of forms.
Other states were quick to take up
the work and the splendid results
have been demonstrated at corn
shows" and other exhibitions, but the
most wonderful part of all is the ac-
tual increase Of crop yields shown In
many localities where these Club"
workers are active. Some OF the
southern states-Texas, South Caro-
lima and Georgia. have been espe-
cially active in organizing this kind
of work, and much of the development
in the Gulf and South Atlantic states
has been greatly assisted by the. boys
demonstration work.
The recent Southern Corn show fur
nished a splendid exhibition of corn
products. the effect of the boys corn
clubs being widely shown, and the
cultivation of corn in place of the ex-
elusive growing of cotton, was given
an important impetus.

HOUSEKEEPING DoNT's.

Don't put of the cleaning of boxes
and drawers until warm days come
when being out of doors Is such
pleasure. Much of the work can be
done on rainy days except. OF course,
the airing of clothing.
House cleaning now ought to be
nothing more than an extra cleaning
and sweeping day. The rugs can be
taken out, laid on the ground and
cleaned. Never hang heavy rug on
the line. as 1t breaks and ruins them
Rugs should not be shaken, either, as
the threads are easily broken and the
fringe, II any. torn of.
Don't forget to plan the spring 30
that some of each day may be spent
enjoying the lovely weather. If house
keepers took more recreation their
work would be better. and much hap
pier. accomplished.
Don't forget that 1t is much better
the reputation of being the best
housekeeper in town, valuable as that
may be to you.
Don't forget to plan out your vege-
table garden on paper, order the seeds
and have everything ready for the
busy time when gardens must be
made.
Lettuce may be grown for the table
at least two weeks ahead Of the open
ground sowing, by preparing box
set into the ground and covered with
thin cheese cloth. through which the
rain can penetrate. The cloth pro-
tects the tender plants at night and
they grow like weeds when the sun
warns them.
Don't allow your reserve shelf for
. hospitality to get low. as unexpected
company will find you unprepared.
Don't neglect to wear a close veil
when out on a windy day. Dust is
great menace to health. and many mi
crobes lodge on grains Of dust.
Don't try to prepare too elaborate
a meal for company. Simple food we'll
served is most pleasing. roasted
hostess for first course is too often
seen at many tables.

THE UNDERsIpE OF THINGS.

There are many women who have
established reputation for good
housekeepers because on the surface
and things in sight were always kept
neat and in order, while disorder and
even filth might run riot in unseen
corners and out of the way places.
No room in the house raeds such
care as the cellar. and she who throws
things into and makes a dumping
ground of the cellar. closets and dark
places is not deserving of the name
Of a good housekeeper."
Cellars where fruits and vegetables
are stored should be carefully aired
and all decaying vegetables removed
at once.
Be lavish In the use of lime as
cleanser; 1t is also an excellent disin-
fectant. An open box of 1t is an or
nament in any cellar.
The average housekeeper Is con-
stantly talking about good or bad
luck" in regard to housekeeping: in
cooking especially. II We turn this
matter over and look at 1t from both
sides, We will see that there is no
such thing as luck. We are success
full In our undertakings only as we
meet and fulfill conditions. and when
the conditions are not fulfilled we
have what is termed bad luck"
Coffee Cakes.-Use any sour cream
cake recipe. add coffee for iavoring.
and bake In small patty pans. When
cool, frost with an icing colored and
favored with strong coffee.

but repeated scientific experiments

another, and frequent additions to the
