There are many reasons why men,
women, boys and girls should join
the various agricultural clubs that are
being organized in Forrest county.
know OF no one thing that would mean
more TO any community or to any
county than for the people to begin to
raise farm products scientifically.
When this is done we can set a stan
dard for quality and quantity and es-
tablish markets, then demand the top
market price for our products.
Through organi alton and cooperation
we can ship out of Forrest county
several carloads of chickens, pigs, corn
and tomatoes this next fall.
To those who have already joined
our clubs and to those who are antici-
pating joining, | will say that we can
use a limited amount of produce here,
, and | will help you to find market
for the rest>of your produce. Some
counties are ahead of us in this work.
4! Why is this? Surely there isn't a
more intelligent bunch of people any
where than the people of Forrest
county. But we are yet sleeping. Some
girls and boys of other counties have
produced enough corn or tomatoes or
poultry to more than pay their way
through the Agricultural High School
You can do this, too, if you will only
| try We can use some of your pro-
duce and will help you to find mar
lzet for the rest And in this way you
can make one acre of land produce
enough stuff to pay all your expenses
through school 1t seems to me this
is the golden opportunity for those
whose parents are not financially able
to send them through school. Even il
you don't raise enough on your acre
to pay all your expenses III school,
there are many ways and opportuni-
ties for making part of your expenses
here at the A. H. S. Some students
here in school now are not only work
ing out all their own expenses but are
working out the expenses Of som"
else. too. Where there is will, there
is a way The young people of today

should take hold of the opportunities
that are before them. There was time
when people were not held responsible
for being ignorant. That time has
passed. The men who are holding the
highest positions in life are the men
who were born in poverty and men
who worked their way through school.
BY joining these clubs you learn to
grow crops scientifically learn
to grow crops profitablw 1t has been
said that the farmer is the backbone
of the nation. Then in order TO have
a strong nation we must have strong
minded and intelligent farmers. Before
we become progressive farmers we
must study the soils and study the
plants. We must know what crops
grow best on certain soils; we must
know the physical condition and chem
ical elements of the soil. We must
know the kind and amount of food
clements required for the best growth
and development of plants. We must
know when and how to plant, how to
cultivate and when to harvest our
products. We must know how to
build up our soils and how to add the
required food elements in the most
economical way When we POSSESSES
/ this knowledge and can combine these
facts then we will become progressive
! farmers.
The teacher can't stress too much
the importance and the benefits of this
club work We appreciate so much the
cooperation of the teachers in this
work and trust that other teachers
will help us to make this work sue
! cess. We are greatly pleased with the
interest manifested by the boys and
girls in this work Everything points
toward success. A number OF the
boys and girls have already selected
their ground and seed and are getting
their ground in the highest possible
state of cultivation. Now is the time
to begin work ii you have not already
started. Let us make this a record
breaking year in our agricultural
progress.

The incrC lsed exports of cona. a.
milk to EC-ope are easy to explain,
under the circumstances, but these
has been an increase in imports from
European countries that is puzzling.
ltaly's recent participation in the
American trade has caused some COM
ment. but the fact that Holland and
Switzerland sold much larger quaint
ties of milk in the United States In
1916 than ever before is considered
more remarkable, for thees two coun.
tries have access to practically all
markets in Europe. The total imports
into the United States from all coun-
tries in 1915 were valued at practi-
cally 100000, or one-third Of the
exports, and although Canada furnish
ed more than half, Holland did bus

against less than 100000 the year
previous. Switzerland now is selling to
us at rate of $3.50. 900 a year, where
formerly practically no milk came
