Only Person Utterly Lost Could Have
Thought Up Such a Mean
Trick as This.

A rather facetiOus young man was
seated in one of the corridor compart-
ments of the London Northwestern
Irish Mail from EustOn to Holyhead.
He noticed there was a fair sprinkling
of young ladies accompanied by young
lovers, and thought the approaching
tunnel offered some fun, so he loudly
announced:
This tunnel is about two miles long,
and the train will be about eight min
Utes passing through"
To the surprise of all. the train
dashed into daylight again in about 20
seconds, and the scene in the car was
one for a painter. Seven young ladies
were closely pressed by seven pairs of
masculine arms, IA pairs of lips were
glued together, and two dozen invert-
ed whisky TASKS flashed in the air.

Prepared by the United States Depart

An assistant county agent in Middle
sex county, Mass, noticed that many
farmers selling produce at one of the
community markets took no pains to
make their goods attractive to pur-
chasers. On several occasions the
agent was able to help farmers make
better displays of products.
An instance occurred at Haverhill.
One morning the agent asked farm
ar how his tomatoes were selling and
was told that practically no sales were
heing made. An examination showed
that the box OF tomatoes was partly
hidden by other products and that the
box showed some bruised. some poor
" colored, and an occasional
shocked tomato. The lot as a whole.

well-coIored tomatoes. With the con-
sent of the farmer the agent picked
out six rather unsightly tomatoes and
pIaced them in another box. properly
arranged the remainder, and placed
the box in q slanting position on the
stand.
Before this box was well placed in

Other customers followed and the box
was quickly emptied The farmer in
his spare moments began refIling the

ment Of Agricultural
Farm and home work loses drudg-
cry and becomes an interesting game
for boys and girls as result of the
club work organized by the United
States department of agriculture and
the state colleges. These clubs set
standards of achievement in home &C
dvitieS and dignity common labor.
Boys and girls, both rural and urban,
in the clubs have their point of view
changed so they want to make fur
Their preparation and study in the
business of farming and home making.
The work is as permanent as the
public school system because it is
backed by permanent institutions,
state and federal, and is a definite
part of the cooperative extension pro-
gram in every state in the union.
Things Club Work Does.
Club work sOcializes community life
through the boys and girls and gives
young people a real motive in all
their work. They are trained through
it for community leadership and Co
operative work Of every kind and are
taught that it is infinitely better to
be a proprietor of farm land, farm
animals, machinery, crops or kitchen
equipment, than to be a mere wage
Garner. The state and national gov
ernments in 1918 employed 9S5 club
leaders to superintend the boys and
girls club work in the counties and
states, while several hundred more
were employed during the summer. An
average of ten projects a state was
conducted during the last year under
the supervision OF the club organiza-
ton.

Work in One County.
The boys and girls in Saunders
county, Nebraska, were unorganized
until last year, and, like any other
unorganized group, did little work.
Eighteen boys and girls there tried
to do club work by themselves, but it
is not much fun to raise extra large
pumpkins or have your pig make
wonderful gains unless you have some
body with whom to compare results.
The stimulus is gone unless you can
measure your work up with some one,
and there isn't much fun in any work
unless you can make a contest or
game out Of it. The club organization
supplies this and the rapid way it
has spread over the whole country
indicates it has met a real need
In 1918, the fathers and mothers,
the chamber of commerce, and the
county agent in Saunders county de-
cided the boys and girls were not get
ing a square deal, that they were too
important to be neglected in this way
and that what they needed was some
one to superintend their work. Money
was raised to employ a county club
leader who was to work 365 days in
the year with Saunders cOunty's big
gest asset-its boys and girls-and in
six months time there were few OF
them who pinned for city life. They
were having a good time in the cOun-
try and making money-the two things
that made city life look desirable.
In one years time there were Is
bows and girls in the county who
were doing club work. although they
were unable to join a club; "a boys

gether but without club organization,

an intelligent way on a job worth
while.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
In boys and girls club work preju-
dice and preconceived opinion, founded
on lack of knowledge or misrepresenta-
ton, are two obstacles that county
agents and demonstrators meet every
day. To surmount them Is not the
easiest task; to convert opposition
into hearty support is an achievement
calling for unusual patience and tact.
That both Of these virtues are pos
SeSsed in large measure by a majority
Of the extension workers may be ad-
duced from the reports constantly COM

A farmer in Maryland had no use
for book farming" He upbraided his
son, member of boys club, for fol-
lowing the agents instructions in seed

ing to the -'new-fangled idea,' helped
in the preparation of the breakfast and
well, the biscuits conquered.
Today that little girl is the leading
member of club. During the past sea-
son her garden was such a success
that she will have a bigger one this
year, and the cooperation of her par
ents. And, according to them, "any
time that agent comes this way she'll
find welcome on the door"
One more instance, the three covering
some of the important phases of agent
work in the South: The colOred farm
ers of a certain county in far South
ern state used to pay no attention to
crop rotation or diversiicatiOn. They
grew the same crops in the same fields,
only such produce as suited their par
ticular whim. Nor did they see any
necessity for home sanitation. They
didn't know anything about the neces-
sity for either, and cared less. As for
the county agent, he was an intruder.
They have different ideas today. Not
only do they grow the right crops, but
also they take pride in the appearance
Of their fields and buildings. There is
a friendly rivalry among them now,
and the one-time intruding agent is be
sought to set them right in all their
problems.
Thus opposition can be overcome to-
day more than ever through the proper
approach, the stick-tO-it attitude, and
the tact of the county and field agents
and demonstrators of the extension
service.
