buIROAD AND BANKER
IN THE DAIRY BUSINESS.
Boys and Girls Dairy Clubs
Calf Clubs.

The Illinois Central Railroad is very
desirous of securing the cooperation of
The bankers with the railroad and the
farmers in order to promote and foster
the dairy interests in their respective
communities.
Believing that one of the best means
70 insure the greater expansion and de-
velopment of the dairy industry is to
Ret the boys and girls interested, the
Illinois Central Railroad, cooperating
with the bankers and citizens of Martin,
Tennessee, organized in March, 1916,
what is known as the Boys and Girls
Dairy Club, whose slogan is Efficiency
10 Dairypg." The bankers of Martin
ioaned each member of the Club suf-
ncient money at six per cent interest to
purchase Holstein COW, the boys and
girls in turn giving their note for same,
endorsed by their parents. Fifty MEM
oers were enrolled in the Club when or
eanized. which has been increased to
About seventy-five. The cows were
purchased.in Wisconsin and as re-
SUIT OF the organization of this club the
farmers in the vicinity of Martin are
nuylng cows and going into the dairy
BUSINESS on an extensive scale.
Similar clubs are now in process of
organization at Mayfeld. Kentucky, and
nazlehurst, Miss. While the informa-
uon OF these Dairy Clubs was inaugural
oy the Illinois Central Railroad, were
not for the spirit of hearty co-opera-
aon OF the bankers in financing the pro-
positions, the boys and girls would have
