Club Boys Organize.

Last April letter came to the Col
lege of Agriculture from the Mar
shall County Duroc Breeders Asso-
citation stating that the organization
had 500 Duroc pigs eligible for regis
try for sale. The Marshall County
Duroc Breeders Association. how
ever, was not composed entirely of
farmers or old breeders; but mainly
Of the boys who were in club work.
This organization developed out of
pig club work among the boys which
began in the fall of 1917. At that
time AZ purebred duroc gifts were
placed among the club members. The
next autumn, 1918, 1875 gifts were eX-
hibited by the boys. This accounts
for the 500 pigs for sale in Marshall
County this spring.
