One of the most effective lines OF ex-

farm demonstration agent is the 'held

invites certain farmers TO meet him in
the 1eld Of some other farmer on

and discussing the work that is being
done These meetings are great

farming methods, since many farmers
who would never attend an institute

through curiosity, but generally they
become Interested and are instructed,

Virginia the agent recently held three
such meetings in one week and has

W. NJ Perry. county demonstration
agent for Pittsylvania, who a few
years ago was missionary in South
Africa, claims to have organized the
largest corn club in America. The
membership is. 514 and boys in every
section of the county are interested.
At d recent meeting of the sixty hon

praise for the boys corn club and one
banker paid glowing tribute to the
work one day OF the fair has been
set aside in honor of the boys, when
they will have a parade and be given

Last year ESQ boys took part in the

told of how he tried one acre of corn

this acre as he did on any three

Drying Fruits in a Tobacco Barn.
Very frequently housekeepers are
fruits and vegetables, especially when
the weather is bad. One agent has
solved the problem for those who live
in the tobacco belt. She says:
Il dried fruits and vegetables very
successfully in a tobacco barn at the
same time tobacco was being cured.
Products were placed on floor of barn
when the temperature reached 30
degrees. In most cases they dried in
six hours, without leaving the slight

Farmers Clubs
An agent In one OF the most pros
