sideration for bringing the CONNER
cial club and the farmers clubs into.
closer relationship. A short course.
to be given at the commercial club is
planned.
At present there are close to 1000
farmers clubs in the state and the
Extension Department of the Univer-
sity informs us that the movement is
a live one and representing about 3d.
900 people. We like to encourage
this movement for we believe that it
is from the people themselves. We
believe in the farmers club as
ready means Of taking up and study
ing independently any matter of i'm
portance to the community; it devel-
opes people; and tends to bring. out
the best there is in a community. A
farmers club is needed in every To-
cality.
