TOWNSVILLE. VA. June 3.-rhere
has never been a contest between girls
and boys of Lee County that will create
as much interest as tho baby-bcef con-
test now being conducted Thirty-four
boys and five girls arc i'm the race TO
determine which can make their calf
put on the greatest number OF pounds
Of flesh at the lowest cost The con-
test is. nrst. between the boys and girls
OF the county. aud. second. between the
Lee County club members and members
OF other county clubs in Southwest
Virginia. What have tho boys and
girls of Lee County done since the con-
test began. the 18th OF February"
\ creditable showing has been made
by the Ice County Club members. and
II the past results continue to come. the
calves will show many pounds gained
at q comparatively low cost a pound.
Several club members have gotten rrcm
two and a half to four pounds gained
per day. and the cost has been 10 ~
cents for each pound gained Consider
ing the best prices received for this
commodity on the best markets OF the
United states, we iind that there will
he a good margin Of profit FOR the club
members
VALUABLE LESSONS THAT
ARE BEING TAUGHT
Many lessons arc taught the boys and
girls in the baby beef club work One
OF the advantages received is the les
son In teaching the hoy the scientific
composition OF feeds. The composition
of each ration is figured out by the
county agricultural agent. and the club
members are taught just why feeds diff
fer in their feeding values. Gin other
words, the club member is shown why
4 pound of cottonsced meal will feed
tho calf more satisfactorily than a
pound OF wheat straw These young
feeders are putting the scientific part
of feeding into practice. Second in
Importance is the advantage gained in
keeping an accurate account of the
cost pound for each pound gained BY
the calf. Few farmers and cattle
raiscrs have any idea what the cost is
for producing a pound Of flesh on their
cattle. The baby beef club members
VIII be able 1" say just what each
pound Of their calves cost The last
but by far the greatest advantage is
found in the love the club members
show for their work.
With the weighed feed in a bucket
the hoy or girl in the Lee County calf
club finds much pleasure III making the
last call for breakfast. dinner or sup

calf is seen answering tho call. Sad

drawn attention to this southeast sub

operators whose subdivisions make up
the suburb anticipate season of &C
tiyity such as has never before been
experienced in the section contiguous
to Nichols avenue and beyond the
government hospital.
The real reason for the renewed
growth of the suburb is the mammoth
plant of the Washington Steel and ord
nance Company and the plant of the
Chemical Products Company, now near
ing completion and expected to be in
operation in less than sixty days.
Already employing nearly 1000 men
and WORKING twenty-four hours a da y
six days out of the week-resting only
on Sundays-the huge steel plant is
adding to it's facilities, erecting new
buildings, installing additional ma
chinery and otherwise giving every
promise of still greater expansion and
consequent employment of stili great

barns and feed yards, which afford

Many of the new homes being built
in various parts of the suburb are of
brick. two stories and attic and of at
tractive architecture. In addition to
these more pretentious dwellings a
number of small bungalows of hand

been erected and others are in course
