The season Tor the boys ana girls
club work Of 1917 in Union county
closed November 18th. and the prize
winners in the county contests have
been declared Some delay has been
caused by some of the club members
failing to send in their final reports
promptly, and few have dropped out
VI the race right in the final dash by
failing to complete their reports. How
ever, many have been patient and per-
sistent in their work and have learned
the Importance and value of staying
with n project and doing their best
until it is completed.
Four requirements are made of ev-
cry club member to complete their sea-
sons work. and the club members agree
10 comply with these requirements
when they join the boys and girls club.
These requirements are as follows:
% They must do the work required
in the given project
(2) They must keep a record of their
work.
(3) They must make an exhibit of
their work according to requirements.
90 They must fill out final report
and write a story of their club work.
The prizes for the club work are
given on the basis of the entire sea-
sons work and only the boys and
girls club members who have complied
with the rules and completed the four
requirements have been considered in
competition for the county prizes
For scoring the county exhibits at
the Clayton fair and in several of the
community club fairs judges were Sc
cured from the State Agricultural Ex-
tension Service. In the county exhibit
specialists in poultry, in live stock, in
field crops and in sewing and cooking
were secured for judging work. These
Judges also graded the records and did
the scoring according to the basis If
awards in the club instruction books.
These specialists from the state agri-
cultural college are efficient in their
respective lines of work and were to-
tally dIsinterested parties. AS far as

judges and the county prizes have
been awarded according to their judg-
ment
