EDUCATING YOUNG FARMERS.
How the Government Aids Agricultural
Colleges In the South.

How the Government Aids Agricultural
Colleges In the South.
The movement actively started by
the United States department Of agri-
culture to cooperate with the various
state colleges in the south In organiz-
ing farm makers clubs for the colored
boys and girls In the rural districts
bids fair to become an important factor
In racial thrift. The movement has
grown rapidly and has been operated
successfully In Virginia. Florida. Mis-
sissippi and North Carolina the past
year.
The main object Of these clubs u TO
encourage our people, particularly In
the cotton sections, to raise some food
instead of devoting their entire atten'
ton to o single crop. In the clubs Tor
boys the typical plan Is to encourage
and help the members to use an acre.
one-half Of which Ia devoted to corn.
one-fourth to potatoes and one-fourth
to peanuts.
This teaches desirable rotation and
at the same time furnishes three food
products for human consumption and
two that are useful for cattle or hogs.
