Allium trlquetrum. one Of the onion

evidence Of being Of considerable value

Of the stem part forming a delicate

vegetable for growing In our southern

what It may do 10 the north. The ex-

BOYS PIG CLUB.

A New Organization Started by De-
partment Of Agriculture.
The department OF agriculture has
its Boys Corn club and its Girls Can
ming club and now comes the Boys
Pig club, being organized In the south
for the purpose Of increasing the sup
ply Of pork and encouraging good
breeding Of hogs. Already clubs have
been organized in Alabama and Louisi-
ana. and club organization has been
started in Georgia. II is the purpose
Of the officials of the department to or
ganize clubs in every southern state.
The idea OF the organization started
with the farmers cooperative demon
stration and has been carried on with
the cooperation OF the animal hus-
bandry branch Of the bureau Of animal
industry. The organization is an of
shoot Of the Boys Corn club. which
has an organization IN every southern
state and which has been the means
Of producing record breaking Yields OF
corn. The Pig club when thoroughly
organized will, it is expected. work
hand IN hand with the Corn club. The
boys Of the latter will produce the corn.
and the boys Of the newly organized
association will see to it that the pigs
are produced to eat the corn.
In connection with the organization
Of the Pig club the department makes
the following statement:
1t is the purpose Of the department
to have every member OF the club en-
