Premiums aggregating $500 will he
distributed among the boys and girls

awards will be made in the Boys Corn
and Pic Clubs, the Girls Canning and

contests by juvenile exhibitors.
No branch Of the farm extension
work in Louisiana has enjoyed greater
progress than that Of the juvenile far
mers. Boys and girls in the various
parishes have become actively inter.
ested in this work by the Thousands,
and many of the best farm products
are produced by these young men and
young women whose success lies IN
the fact that they are intensely inter
ested in the education they are recpiv
ing, which includes instructions in the
improved methods Of farming. There
Is great rivalry among their clubs. and
Judges in the Boys and Girls Club de.
