Sunday evening one of the
Missouri Valley autos nearly
had a serious accident when ii
turned turtle on the Sixth St,
grade. It seems the driver
turned out to avoid a rut in the
road and turned too far and the
soft dirt gave way with him
dumping him in the ditch. No
one was hurt and the only dam
age to the car was a broken
wind shield and a top slightly
torn.

happiness and usefulness than that
which comes through the dignity of
work efficiently and intelligently
done, and contributing to the social
and economic betterment of the
home. We hope to make country
life more attractive, and are joining
our forces to those of the school and
home already in the field of endeav-
or, working toward a happier and
fuller life for the boys and girls on
the farms.
The Boys and Corn Growing.
Boys Corn Clubs and Girls Can
ming Clubs are beginning to bring
wonderful results in interest in farm
life throughout the state. Parents
are encouraging their boys and girls
by giving them the proceeds of their
labor on the demonstration plat, and
business men and publicspirited cit
liens everywhere are contributing to
the movement by giving premiums,
etc, for the encouragement of the
boys and girls. Club contests will
be held in nearly 100 counties of the
state this year, as well as in many
districts and counties.
year boys corn club members are
expected to make an average of rs
bushels of corn to the acre at a cost
not exceeding rs and 80 cents per
bushel. The season of 1910 one
county had ten boys to average 60
bushels of corn to the acre. The
county school superintendent in sum-
ming up the results of this work said,
speaking for himself and the county
board of education: Instead of 40
boys this year we have more than
100 boys growing an acre of corn
each, keeping full and complete rec
ords of the preparation, cultivation,
yield, cost and profit. Our girls are
also doing splendid work in their
canning schools and their poultry
clubs, but this is not all. The faith
ers in nearly every home have
caught the enthusiasm from the
boys, and quite number are work
ing plats alongside of the boys corn
acre, and at our canning demonstra-
lions we had as many mothers as
girls. In view of the foregoing facts
we unhesitatingly say that we are
reaching ten times as many people
as were enrolled in our clubs and
this at very small expense"
So encouraging has the work prov
ed that next year in addition to the
corn clubs and canning clubs there
will be organized Boys Pig Clubs
and Girls Canning Clubs.

ROYSAND GIRLS DEMONSTRATIONWORK

Miss Mary E. Creswell was appointed
general assistant in charge of the
girls demonstrations, and several
thousand cans of vegetables for mar
ket and home use were packed and
neatly labeled, thus providing pin
money for the girls in the sale of the
surplus crop, and a variety in the
nome diet during the winter. Can
nlng schools were conducted in the
counties OF Hancock, Putnam, Bar
tow, Clarke and Banks, at which PIP
women and girls received personal
instruction in canning, and as many
others came into vital contact with
the work. Meetings were held in
school kitchens and in court house
yards during the farmers institutes
ana boys corn club gatherings, and
canning parties were given at the
homes of club members; but practi-
caIly always the work was carried on
out OF doors. Emphasis was placed
on the much neglected subject of
convenience and comfort for the
workers, as we'll as on good methods
OF canning. The spirit of co-opera-
ton, of sociability and good cheer
everywhere animated the groups of
workers. Corn club boys frequently
joined and rendered fine service.
The keenest interest was shown
by the girls and also by the parents.
The girls have not only done canning
for home use, but many of them also
have choice vegetables ready for the
market. Each can of tomatoes bear
an attractive label, furnished by the
United States department of agri-
culture, showing the name of the
county and the club and individual
number of the girl whose produce it
is. The Clayton county club, which
has worked under the direction of
Miss Minnie Archer has 1000 cans
of tomatoes for sale.
The girls club work is not only
giving it's members a way of creating
a money value for their work, but
is training them to be more efficient
and happy home traders. Abundant
opportunity occurs for teaching the
girls the science underlying the
household arts, needed in the work
outlined. Kindred topics involving
problems vital to health and COM
fort of the home are constantly pre-
sented for solution. We can give the
girls no finer or more permanent
