WANTS 10000 BOYS
AND GIRLS IN CLUBS

The most valuable crop in Ark
ansas, according to WI. Jernigan,
The Boys and GIRLS Club man, is
The crop Of boys aud girls. Mr..
Jcrmgan estimates there are about
10000 boys aud girls between the
ages Of 10 and rs on Arkansas
farms aud as these youngsters are
eligible TO club membership he
believes he aud his assistants should |
have nearly that number In the
club membership this year. Last
year Arkansas enrolled only about
5000 boys and girls IN corn, pg,
canning aud poultry clubs, only a
little more than two per cent OF the
possible enrolment. hr, Jernigan
contends that II the parents,
teachers, preachers, bankers and
merchants would get behind this
movement Arkansas would lead the
whole country. lie says no state
has a more interested set OF bankers
aud that everybody seems interested
aud vet the figures don't prove
enough g,nral interest.
Mr.. Jcmigan says that Randolph |
county, with Mr.. aud Mrs. kIzer as
farm and home demonstration
agents, reported last year about
800 boys aud grls in the clubs cut
of a total of about 1900 boys and
girls between the ages Of 10 and is,
or 10 per cent. If this record had
been made IN all the counties the club
membership would have been ~
500 instead of 5000. No county
with a county demonstration agent
was without its list Of club mem
bers and only ten counties tailed to-
report a club membership last year.
This year Mr.. Jernigan wants toI
lind a loyal leader for this work in
each county that has no county
agent. Then he hopes FOR a much
more general support Of the work
IN many of the other counties. He
Is greatly encouraged with the fine
response from bankers who are Of
ferIng prizes for corn and canning
clubs, and for financing pig aud
| poultry clubs.
There will practically be no
changes IN the plans or rules Of the
club work this year. There viii
be corn clubs, mg cIuhs, peanut
clubs, cotton clubs, canning clubs,
poultry clubs and a few but,er-mak-
ing clubs. Canning clubs will not
be organized generally IN counties
that do not have home demoustra-
tiou agents, nor pig clubs IN coun-
tues where there Is no farm agent,
except that special clubs in given
ncighborhood may be organized il.
o good leader eau be secured. As
there will be this year about so.
counties with men agents and 35
counties with women agents, Mr..
Jernigap, Miss Emma Archer aud
II. X. Sanders, his assistants, hope
to have at least 10000 boys and
girls in this club work, but say the
list should reach 10000. They
say if farmers, teachers, bankers,
preachers, women, club members
aud others would get busy right
now and begin now to boost for a
big membership 1t would reach that
number. Mr.. Jernigsn has Just
written a new bulletin giving rules
and regulations for the club work
that will be sert to any adult on
request. Copies will be sent boys
and girls when their names are sent
in as members. Mr.. Jernigan
should be addressed al the old state
house, Little Rock.

1t has been suggested that while
