WHAT ONE TEXAS COUNTY
IS DOING

Mr.. E. F. Drake, secretary of
t h e Chamber Of Commerce,
Waco, Texas, recently took up
the task of educating the farm
ers of McLennan County in the
arts of diversified farming"
He, like so many others, finally
reduced the problem to the Boys
and Girls an d the Pig Club.

Georgia possesses a long list of
young people who have won
honors at state and county fairs.
One girl, Miss Eta Wynn, under
seventeen years, raised a 1884,
pound Berkshire at an expense
of one and a half cents a pound.
One boy, Ware Creel of Valdosta,
raised a 175-pound pure-bred
Duroc, at an expense of a dollar
and half. The champion boy
pig grower of the state is Evans
Jackson, of Madison. He came
within four tenths of reaching
the three cent-per-ponnd limit.
He is the son of a Baptist minister
as Jerry Moore is the son of
Methodist clergyman, and he
cleared $42. Is from his pig. The
champion girl pig grower of
Georgia is Miss Maude Phillips,
of Quitman, whose pig cost her
just three cents to bring to the
fair. She competed with her
brother Sam, and she named
her pig, "The Duchess" "She
petted her pig and fed it, D." Mr..
Downing says, until it actually
made a hog of ITSELF"
The era of the pig club, and its
relation to agricultural revival,
has but just begun. In Alabama
there were two thousand boys
and girls enrolled last year, and
they are coming strong. Ala
bama is weary of sending millions
of dollars out of the state. The
Rotary Club of Montgomery,
with a vision of what the Young
Generation can do, is going to
help the boys and girls. They
are going to back Youth with real
money. They have pledged a
thousand dollars for the boys and
girls of Montgomery alone, which
they will lend, as was the case in
Georgia, without security. There
are two hundred pigs waiting for
the Young Generation in this
state capital of Alabama.
Last year, when the scourge of
cholera visited the pigs of the
adult growers of Alabama, de-
stroying thousands, the boys and
girls of the pig clubs lost very
few. They had followed Uncle
Sans instructions, had vaccinat-
ed their pigs with anti-hog cholera
serum-.-and saved them. In the
same way, the baby beef boys of
Texas have avoided the destruc-
ton caused by the tick epidemics.

CrlDuClOn OF an elaOOraCely Illus
trated circular showing an abund-
ance of pictures of the Texas
boys and their winning baby
beeves.
This is the message of this
bank to the people of the state:
Dear Friend:
Farmers the country over COM
plain that their sons, as soon as
they are grown, leave the farm
and 60 to the city. They are
right about this, but at the same
time it is their own fault. The
city offers many things, so the
young man growing up thinks,
that he cannot find on the farm.
There is only one real way to keep
young men on the farm, and that
is giving them a real interest in
something they can call their own.
Every farmer living ought to
raise live stock, and he ought to
give each son one or more calves
to raise. It will surprise him
how much interest the boys take
in this. He could then join a
Baby Beef Club, tend and feed
his animal with the best of care,
and in the end might have a
prize-winner; whether he does or
not, he is interested and will try
harder the next time, and the
first thing you know your boy
can't be driven off the farm.
When in town come in and we
shall tell you about the Baby Beef
Clubs over the state
P. E. Jordan, Cashier
What this admirable Texas or
ganization has been doing land
it would be ten -to-one profit in
any state in the Union to have
one like it, Uncle Sans great
federated industrial school, in all
the states with it's enlisted army
of a quarter of million, is doing.
Wherever he has been able to
''get the ear" of the boys and
girls they have been eager and
intelligent listeners. Close be-
side the homes of their rearing
they have responded to the ideal
of an industrial education, which
aims to instruct and equip for
the work of a lifetime.
They have been given a
chance" No reasonable person
doubts that they have made
good not only as individuals,
but in groups in the states, num-
boring thousands. What will
they do for all of US when they
are grown men and women, for
this country and for the hungry
hordes of war crazed Europe who
will look to US for food? The
answer is coming quickly and
surely. In the South, where this
movement began, the grain crop,
from the estimates of the Gov
eminent given in August, ex-
ceeds that of the previous year
by nearly 292, 100000 bushels!
This means an added wealth of
much more than one hundred
million dollars to fifteen states,
where the operations of the pro-
ducing pupils of this school have
for hardly more than five years
been students of effective agri-
culture. There are in our COL
leges, state universities and other
institutions of higher education
100000 students; in this indus
trial school of Uncle Sans the
enrolment doubled this summer,
and reached an equal number.

Young Generation folks, and they

lished an almost perfect system

other obligations, except waiver
of all interest in the property
from parents a md guardians.
The first man offered to finance
twenty boys; this was better
than he expected. Then h
second man offered to finance
another score. Il realized that
l had started something" says
Mr.. Drake. Then the offers of
pigs became more numerous
than the boy and girl takers,
and the plan was advertised in
the county papers. A deluge
of letters from interested boys
followed.
Now the boys all have regis
tered stock" The conditions of
entry require each member of
the county club to raise not less
than half of an acre of feed for
the pig, and he is asked-for he
cannot be cOmpelled-to invest
the profits in heifer calf, start
ing them earnestly in the stock
raising game. This t h best
plan so far devised.
In Washington, they desire to
spread the pig club interests in
to every state as fast as the mon
ey can be provided. 1t is one Of
the most helpful of these club
activities. Anyone interested
in getting the work started"
they have written, should write
to his agriculture college in re-
gard to the matter. The proper
authorities can then take the
matter up with the Department
of Agriculture to see if an agent
can be furnished for the work in
the state. When this move
ment spreads to every state in
the Union the life of the farm
boy will be greatly enriched and
our pork packers less baronial.
THE BABY BEEF" CLUB
OF TEXAS
When, a already told, Mr..
French called on the reserves of
youth to save the most import
ant agricultural industry of the
Lone Star State, boys the
number Of five hundred respond
ed h e first year Q912). | n
speeches h e urged fathers to
give their boys a chance to be
more than "chore boys,' to be-
come farmers in embryo, part
ners on h e ranch. Every
ranchman," he pre- a C h d,
should get his boys interested
in their home life. Give a boy
pig or a calf-and he will want
to stay on the farm"
The plan became amazingly
popular. The Texas Industrial
Congress offered 81, 800 in prizes.
Ranch owners gave calves to
boys, the Mayor of Dallas con-
tributed one thousand dollars for
the purchase of pigs and calves:
the way was thus cleared to
turn stock selling for So, 100000
as veal, into $35, 900, 600 as baby
beef.
1t became too big a job for its
founder, 50 he drafted Sam
Matthews, who, at the age of
fifteen years, became an orator
as we'll as a winner of prizes in
the great Fat Cattle Show at
Fort Worth. Sam became presi-
dent of all the baby beef clubs
of Texas. AS the first winner
of the state champion, n d
state campaigner, young Mat
thews has become leader in the
affairs of great state before he
is voter.
"STICK TO THE FARM BOY"
Sam advises the boys of Texas
to stick to the farm: Il think
there is a good future for the
boys and the girls on the farm"
he says, eff we can get it out
of their parents heads that they
should not leave to become law

and not to practice law at the
bar"
While Sam at the age of fiji
teen is the dispenser of this
sound philosophy he shows the
germ of a good business-farmer
in the record he submitted with
the prizewinning calf, as a part
of the required work of the club.
believe in play, he wrote,
but the most interesting game l
have played is the baby beef pro-
duction contest. 1t is interest
ing because | like to study the
laws of nature. | like to feel
that l have been able to direct
some of the forces of nature in
the production of a more perfect
animal. | like to win in the con-
test against you other boys; and
last of all, like to earn that fif-
ty cents an hour for my work, as
| have been able to do this year
on my one calf.
| bought one calf for $50 on
credit; fed it $50 days ata cost of
$23. so for feed. This was while
| was going to the high school.
Freight to market cost me 1928.
| sold the call at the age of one
year, one month and nineteen
days, weighing 1.001 pounds, for
$500. The net profit was
$38.56, besides the $40 prize
money. Come in, boys, and join
this game, and we will help to
keep down the high cost of living
as we'll as make some ready cash.
Last year the thirty three boys
who played the game through to
the end, had grown to 744, and
there were several girls. Mr..
H. H. Williamson, Chief of the
Federal Farmers demonstration
work for Texas, cooperating
with the State Agricultural and
Mechanical College. writes me
that the reports of these young
people Showed an average val

necessarily endeavored to obtain
high individual records for fancy
displays in the show ring, but
instead have tried to innuce a
large number of Texas farm boys
to raise a calf, and to teach them
to produce stock for the market. p"
The winner Of Texas Baby Beef
Grand Championship, this last
year, was Howard Hale. of Mid
land, nine years old, He was
given his calf by one of the lead
ing ranchmen of Texas, Mr.. Hen
M. Half, of Midland, who is one
of the leading herders of baby
beeves, a believer in this move
ment. Howard Hale came back
from the National Feeders and
Breeders Show at Fort Worth
with $3.50 in money and a $500
silver cup.
The Champion Baby Beef"
Grower Of the World is Miss
Ada Thames of Covington county
Mississippi, who won her title
year ago in an independent baby
beef club, the first of its kind in
this state. Miss Thames raised
a heifer, Lady Grace, " winning
first prize in competition with
seventy-fve others. When the
prize calves were sold at public
auction in the county roundup,
she was offered 1896 for Lady
Grace" and refused to sell.
Some day in the near future she
will be hear of as producer of
stock.

were taught. that "baby beef"

a.
is not merely young beef. 1t is
a young beef animal from a year
to year and a half old, that
still retains its baby fat. A calf,
with a good supply to begin with,
as long as it has milk enough
from its mother to satisfy its
hunger, retains this fat. If ma
lures milk supply falls short,
and there is no feed to take its
place, the calf falls off and the
baby fat is consumed to supply
the needs of nutrition. This
once lost cannot be replaced. The
calf may be fed abundantly and
get fat again, but the flesh of
that animal is never quite the
same as it would have been had
it not been allowed to become
thin. There will never be that
fine mingling of lean and fat
that makes the highly priced
beef. The purpose of the baby
beef clubs is not strictly to pro-
duce this quality of beef, but to
feed the calf so that the beef it
makes will be of superior quail
ty, and to mature it in the short
est possible time.
THE TEXAS INDUSTRIAL
CONGRESS
The Texas Industrisl Congress
has an enrolment of over eight
thousand boys and girls, in all
agricultural activities. 1t came
into being five years ago, under
the presidency of the late Colon
ell Henry Exall, the livest agri-
cultural wire in Texas" No one
in the organization receives a
salary, except the secretary, and
it is supported by funds contrib
uted by banks and individuals.
Its propaganda is the advance
ment of farming, and it's hope
rests in the Young Generation.
Each year it gives ten thousand
dollars to prizes for adults as
well as for boys and girls. There
are no entrance fees, and but,few
conditions. 1t wants every farm
er's son and daughter to compete
and their elders with them. 1t
issues bulletins of instruction
from time to time, with the idea
that it is better to give infor-
nation in broken doses, so the
boys can digest it,"
When the people of Texas
wished Colonel Exall to be can
didate for governor, he answer
ed: "The work | am trying to do
in the Southwest is to me a vast
mountaineering undertaking"
The results of his efforts justify
the remark. The ten-year aver
age of corn production in Texas
is nineteen bushels, but the gen.
eral average of all the contestants
in the Industrial Congress is ff-
ty-One bushels to the acre: the
average state production of cot
ton for the same period is one
third of a bale, the average of
the Industrial Congress is over
three times greater.
Texas buys annually thirty
million dollars worth of corn, to
be imported into the state, and
fifty-four million dollars in pork
products are brought into it's Dor
ders.
But the corn and pig clubs are
growing every year. One boy
won a prize of one thousand dol
lars from the industrial Congress
for his achievements on four
acres raising 231 1-2 bushels of
corn and four and one-half bales
of cotton. Il figured out" Col
onel Exall said, that the best
way to set in a back-fre to the
discouraging outlook was to get
the ears of the boys on the farms.
