District Negro Agent for Virginia.
Hampton, Va, April 23-The
moral, educational, physical and fl
nancial advantages offered in sue
cessful club work among colored
boys of Virginia are bringing to
young and old people new visions.
Boys are learning and demonstrate

in some instances, have changed their
methods of farming from poor to
good, by reason of the success that
their sons have made in the boys
club work.

conducted the following demonstra-
tions: Corn 1926; Peanut, 30; Pota-
