These are mere suggestions which
have been sent out to different states
and district leaders in the northern
and western states. 1t Is hoped this
| list will enable them to encourage
lines of work that have an economic
value in the farm and home manage
ment Of any community.
The new clubs, 1t Is expected, will
be merely the agricultural clubs al
ready organized among the young
people and the new lines of indus
trial work will be taken up at times
and seasons when corn, pigs, chick
ems, and vegetables do not need the
special attention of the boys and
girls. Under the new plan each club
member will probably select about 10
or the suggested tasks and do each
of them during convenient moments.
The results of the work Of all the
members of one club will be exhibit
ed at the end Of the years time in a
place where the rest of the commun-
ity may see what has been attempted
and pass judgment on its value.
Any mother or teacher who would
care to interest her children In any
of the arts and crafts outlined above
may write for further details to the
Office in Charge of Club Work for
the Northern and Western States,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, Washington, D. C.
