OF BOYS CLUBS
Joint Meeting Of Corn and
Pig Club Boys Held on
Saturday.

A meeting of the Corn Club and
the Pig Club boys was held at the H.
B. M. A. rooms in Hopkinsville on
Nov. 18th, presided over by the Coun-
| ty Agent, James A. Mckenzie.
These boys had been invited to
town to meet and hand in their re-
cord books of the work they had done
with the pigs given them by j. H.
Anderson C Co., and to receive the
prizes offered by the First National
Bank of this city.
A business meeting of the boys was
first held, at which meeting Mr.. Ed.
L. Weathers, Vice President of the
First National Bank, and Mr. George
Crenshaw, Manager of the j. H. An
derson & Co., made very interesting
talks to the boys, emphasizing the inn
portance of raising better corn crops
and better live stock in the county.
They pointed out the fact to the boys
that these boys are to be the future
business men, farmers, doctors and
stock raiscrs Of the county. That if
they learned how to raise pig prop
erly and work an acre of corn prop
erly that it would be a good earnest
that they would do all of their future
work in a business like way, which
would lead them to success in life.
II may be remembered that last June
the j. H. Anderson & Co., gave away
ten registered Duroc Jersey gifts to
ten boys in the county with the UNI
derstanding that these gifts should be
fed and cared for according to in
structions of the Department of Agri-
culture, and under the supervision OF
the County Agent; that records of the
amount of feed, cost of feeding, gain
in weight-in short, complete bust
ness record of raising the pig to b'
kept. That out of the first litter O.
pigs from these gifts, two select SOW
pigs should be returned to j. H. An
derson & Co., to be given out to 9th
er boys, thus increasing the number
of boys engaged in this Pig Clut
work.
The First National Bank offered q
prize of $500 to any boy, between
the ages of 10 and IS, up the number
of 40, who would raise an acre Of
corn according to the plans and re
quirements of the Department OF Ag
