Experience has shown that the
work in the boys and girls clubs
can be carried on with even greater
success without the aid of large
cash prizes and awards. The net
profits from the work itself have
teeen found to be the best possible
incentive. The members have their
attention directed to problems of
farm and home management, crop
rotation, soil building, etc, and in
practically every state in which the
work is being carried on large
number of club members are now
working out three and four-year ro-
tations of crops. The profits which
they derive from club work they are
spending ON getting an education, or
for purchase of pure bred stock and
labor-saying machinery. Many are
even buying land and thus acquiring
an invaluable sence of dignity and
independence.
