CLUB BOYS AND GIRLS TO PRO-

of Boys and Girls club members for
1918, who are carrying out agricultural or
home economics projects under the SUI
pervision of agricultural extension SER
vice of the University of Maine. The
minimum quota is SIS, 900, the ultimate
aim being 500, 1000 worth of food. This
total makes the amount $37, 900 for 1917
look small. However, this amount ap-
peared large at that time.
Two hundred acres are being cultivated
by these young farmers and patriots.
Over 1000 boys and girls are at work
canning to meet the requirement of at
least so pint jars of fruits and vegetables.
Several hundred have thus far passed
that mark, in fact one girl in York county
has put up over 600 pints SO far this sea
son. Furthermore, that food which
cannot be put into jars is being conserved
by turning it into pork or poultry, LOCO
members caring for pigs and 600 looking
after their chickens.
These sturdy young agriculturists are
going to put Maine over the top in food
production and conservation SO far as it
is in their power to do So
