II. Members must agree TO
study carefully and follow as
closely as possible instructions
furnished them aud To conform
strictly 50 tho rules governing
club work in this state.
SUGGESTIONS
/. Members should not insist
on highly improved or very fer
tile land for their field crops.
Ii boys will follow this sugges-
zion, their fathers will more
readily furnish the land for
their field crops aud allow them
the net proceeds made thereon.
Club work conducted on this
basis will also tench boys more
about farming for profit. Not
merely ~ make big yields or
win club prizes, but to improve
the soil and 20 learn profitable
farming, are among the aims
of club work.
,. Boys should not apply for
membership in Il live stock ac-
tivity unless they have prey
ionsly raised field crop or plan
TO raise one in connection with
their live stock work. l'roduc-
ton of feed stuff necessarily
and logically precedes or ac-
companies the production of
live stock.
,. Boys Agricultural Clubs
should be organized in every
community possible aud nu
effort should be made to secure
for each of these an active
leader.
4. One or more corn or live
stock judging contests 6hou, d
be planned for every county.
.. Arrangements should be
made With local school authori.
ties for school credit to be Civ
en- for standard club work, un.
til such time ms uniform sys.
tenn is worked out for the entire
state.

won.
The Meet was won by pocomoke, her
athletes scoring total of 1874 points.
Snow Hill was second with 100 points.
Berlin third with 50 points. and Girdle-
tree fourth. The closeness of the con
test between Snow Hill and Pocomoke
is shown by the fact that Pocomoke
won by the narrow margin of nine
points Snow Hill also takes comfort
in pointing out that her athletes cap
tured eleven trsts, while Pocomoke
won only eight. and Berlin five.
The star event of the Meet. from the
standpoint of Pocomoke adherents. was
the mile Senior Relay. which WAS won
by the Pocomoke team. composed of j.

The Fourth Annual Field Meet OF the
Worcester County High Schools was
held in Snow Hill last Friday. with
pupils from the High Schools Of Snow
Hill, Pocomoke City. Berlin, and Girdle-
tree participating in the field and track
events. The meet was held under the
auspices Of the Public Athletic League
Of Baltimore, OF which DR. William 5.
Burdick is the director DR.. Burdick
and assistants We're here. and while
some delay was experienced in getting
started. the events were run off in an
orderly manner, and finished almost on
schedule time in the morning.
The attendance was not as large as in
some previous years. owing to the fact
that only students in the High Schools
participated. the rural schools being
without contestants. and thus not repre-
sented at the Meet. The failure to
have the school children march from
the High School and parade through the
town was distinct disappointment to
many, az the first time the Meet was
held in Snow Hill the parade through
the town was one of the most inspiring
spectacles of the day.
Owing to the illness OF Prof Hill,
Principal of the Stockton High School,
shat school was not represented at the
Meet. II was pleasing to see the Cir
dletree High School represented, and
while the contestants did not carry Off
any first honors, the foundation has been
laid and spirit engendered in the
school that should lead to greater
achievements and successes in the events
next year
The crowd that greeted the contest
ants as they appeared on the field was
large and enthusiastic. although the best
of order and good humor prevailed.
Each school had its followers and loyaI
supporters in the crowd. and when q
representative of the Snow Hill High
School won an event, cheering and
pandemonium broke loose among the
