er state in the union surpasses North
Dakota in point of all crop conditions
and productions.
North Dakota's crop scored 1868
per cent as the average. It's nearest
competitor is Oklahoma with an aver
age of 1861 per cent.
Here is how the first five states of
the union rank: North Dakota, 1865;
Oklahoma, 1861; Kansas, 124.5; South
Dakota, 1921; Nebraska, 1900.
North Dakota raised 100000 more
bushels Of wheat than any other state
in the union.
In the production Of oats, this state
ranks fifth, with an estimate yield of
S5,962,OOO bushels. The barley crop
captures third place with a yield only
little less than 100000 bushels
short of California's yield, the banner

PROGRESS IN AGRICULTURAL
CLUBS FOR BOYS AND GIRLS

There has been an increase of more
than 41,000 in the membership Of var
ious boys and girls agricultural clubs
conducted by the state agricultural
colleges and the department of agri-
culture in the northern and western
states. At the close Of the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1914, there were no.
5077 members in the various club pro-
!jects in the 80 states covered by this
work. At the close of the present ifs
cal year, June 30, 1915, the member
ship was 151,194, exclusive of the en-
rollment in the mother-daughter can
ming clubs. @
|! This work is being carried on coop
eratively in rs of the 80 states in the
northern, central, and western terri
tory by the department of agriculture
and the extension departments Of the
state college Of agriculture. In prac-
tically every state short courses for
boys and girls and special demonstra.
ton schools have been held at the col
leges and in the field. During the past
year 1857 club members attended the
mid-winter courses at the colleges, 968
of these having their expenses paid by
local contributions as a recognition Of
their achievements in club work. OF
the 80 club members who, as cham
pions in their states, districts, or coun-
ties for 1914, have become recognized
as national all-star club members, 81
are now attending high schools, agri-
cultural, or other colleges, three Of
the remaining seven have already
graduated from high school, and one
will go to an agricultural college this
fall.
Experience has shown that the
work in the boys and girls clubs can
be carried on with even greater sue
cess without the aid of large cash
prizes and awards. The net profits
from the work itself have been found
to be the best possible incentive.
