This new movement is mainly due
to the activities of Walter S. Pack

This committed will meet in Ell
Centro next Friday to complete plans
for the boys club. The club itself
will hold its next meeting at Holtville
on February y Meanwhile cards will
be distributed to the boys of the coun-
ty, thus giving them an opportunity to
apply for membership and indicate
whether they wish to enter the cot

vile meeting seed for the planting of
these prize-contesting acres will be
distributed. At this meeting perma.
nent officers for the club will be
elected.
1t is proposed to make the prize
awarding one of the features of the
next Imperial county fair, and to have
exhibits from the boys crops dis

advantage of arousing the boys to a
personal interest in the best meth

means of quickly interesting Imperial

FARMING CLUB Is
FORMED FOR BOYS
OF THE VALLEY

Imperial county comes to the fore
this week with what is probably the
first organized movement in California
to interest the boys of county in
agriculture The Imperial County
Boys Agricultural Club has come in
to existence, having been started last
Friday, and its projectors are antici-
pating great things from it.
Twenty one bright and active boys
Joined this club at its formation, at
the Farmers Institute at Imperial last
week, and they represented various
sections of the valley. 1t is expected
that the membership will be largely
increased and that every section of
the valley will have numerous repre-
SentativeS.
The motive Of this organization is
to interest the boys of this county in
agriculture and to advance their per-
Sonal knowledge of the very best
methods of farming. One particular
means for melting such an interest is
to be the offering OF prizes for the
first, second and third best acres of
Egyptian cotton raised by club men,
bers during the coming season. 1t is
expected that good sized cash prizes
will be offered-prObably $3.50 for first
prize. S75 for second prize and $25 for
third priZe-so that it will be well
worth striving for. Seed will be fur
nished free, and expert instruction
