Agricultural production is not the
sum total Of achievement BY members
of boys clubs in the South. Those
youngsters below the Mason-Dixon line
raise good crops; also, they raise fine
baby beeves and standard pigs. Their
sheep are Of accredited breeds their
poultry is Of the better types; and the
gardens they cultivate are model gar
dens, many Of them yielding very
worthwhile produce. In dollars and
cents, the result Of those boys efforts
annually mounts up to many thou
sands; in food supply It Is Of meal
culable value to the Is Southern states.
But this is only part Of the story-a
bare enumeration Of SOME Of the &C
tivities Of those Southern lads. The
other part is, OF should be, more In
teresting, for it deals with Intangible
commoditfes-character high ideals,
educational aspirations, civic pride
evolved from and developed through
the training received In boys clubs. In
It's effort to strengthen, the agricul-
tural extension organization the Unit
ed States department Of agriculture
cites some instances to show the bene-
fits of the boys club work in the
South. <&s<
Bonds and Bank Accounts.
In Texas there r 1000 boys receiv-
ing higher education-the direct re-
suit Of club membership. There are
10000 club boys in that state who
bought Liberty bonds, War Savings
and Thrift stamps. The same number
belong to the Red Cross, and 1000
have bank accounts. Members of the
boys clubs in Oklahoma, over 1900,
own war securities amounting to
S112,81S. Their bank deposits total
$67,931.86. Also West Virginia has l.
500 club members who have bank &C
counts. Many own lands and several
hundred are in colleges. Arkansas has
a record Of hundreds Of former boys
club members who are In college, and
what is more to their credit, paying
their tuition with money earned from
the sale Of Of their agricultural prod
ucts and prizes won in agricultural
contests.
"A number of the Southern clubs
have developed college professors, In
structors in agricultural schools-men
who learned the scientific method Of
farming and gained their experience
In boys clubs. Many club members
are In the military service. I'VE have
hundreds Of club members that are
officers in the United States army"
writes a Mississippi state agent. Nor
have modern business methods been
overlooked by those young husband
men. In some Of the states co-opera-
tive buying, selling and marketing is
the regular practice Of boys club mem

and careful management and good
financial judgment produced results
sufficient to enable this Woodworking
demonstration to make the second pay
ment On his place in the fall, This
was largely from receipts from butter,
chickens and eggs.
This Is the account Of the rest Of
the achievements, told by the county
agent:
1.-THE second year he bought a better
team and was enabled to cultivate his
crop in the better way as he ex-
pressed It. The second year he met
his third payment and had some sur
plus funds left and was In q position
to 60 on a cash basis the next year.
The fourth payment on his farm Was
met promptly and with q larger SUR
plus of money than before. Besides, he
had q number of good cows, hogs and
horses, and q flock Of chickens and
turkeys. From this years work be had
sold $1,65O worth Of cotton and seed,
marketed $720 worth OF feed. besides
having enough on hand for farm use
next year, sold $40 worth of poultry
and now has over 100 hens on the
farm. He has sufficient hogs for his
meat and will offer for sale about 500
worth besides.
"He has on the farm $500 worth Of
horse stock, has some good mich cows
and has $3.50 on deposit to his credit
IN the local bank. He Is erecting q lit
tie house and says that the farm and
its happy associations r good enough
for him. The vital point of this story
of this farmers operations during the
past four years IS that he has paid
for his farm, Is free from debt, and
has placed himself upon q cash basts,
and has accumulated q surplus while
q neighbor on an adjoining farm 0f

ties, common custOm-the kind OF
banking, by the way, where the char.
acter and industry Of the borrowers
form the major part OF the security.
In this connection the testimony Of the
president Of a bank In Mississippi Is
corroborative, Says he: $50 far as my
information goes, there is not a single
piece Of bad paper in the state as a re-
suit Of loans to club boys" These In
stances ar taken at random.
The influence club boys exert upon
their fathers and upon the farmers in
their neighborhoods is very marked.
state and county agents say. It is the
kind Of influence that, through prac-
teal demonstration, turns skeptics In
to converts; that makes progressive
farmers out Of 'the-old-way-is-good-
enough-for-me" types.
Influence Of the Clubs.
But extension agents are not the
only ones who note these TRANSFORMED
lions. Men Of affairs have observed
them, and right ready are they to tell
Of civic improvem nts, better schools,
more active churches, marked increase
in the demand for better merchandise,

portant functions of boys club work
in the South. This is being accom-
plished by instruction and. demonstra-
ton in correct agricultural methods by
the extension service of the United
States department of agriculture and
the state agricultural colleges. And
It is being done In the only way pos
sible-through the organized efforts of
the very boys who are to develop into
progressive farmers and become the
substantial producers of the future.
However, quite as important q func-
ton Of this work is the all-round de-
Of the boys themselves.
Great stress is laid upon this. Through
the agency Of these boys clubs, the
members are taught habits of thrift
and industry. They II shown the

Whether q bird is beneficial or In

largely on growing crops it may be
an enemy. Not all birds are bene-

number the Injurious, and so great is
their value as insect ~destroyers in the
United States that to them the United
States department. of agriculture gives
credit Of being one Of the greatest con-
trolling factors In limiting the devel-
opment Of insect pests and in prevent
ing many disastrous outbreaks.
In the case Of species which are
abundant or which feed to some extent
on crops, the question Of their aver
age diet becomes one Of supreme Inn
portance and only by stomach exami-

Field observations have proved to be

THE SOUTH AGAINST ALL
RADICAL LABOR LEADERS

Members of the American Cotton
Association, composed of farmers,
business men, bankers and profess
sional men in all parts of the South,
have no sympathy whatever with ex-
IRENE measures of radical labor lead
ers, according to J. S. Wannamaker,
of st. Matthews, S. c., who is pres
ident of the association and who was
In Atlanta after a tour of several
Southern states.
THE greatest need of America to-
day is cooperation, and the members
of the association are united in their
efforts to uphold and keep untarnish-
ed the civilization and independence
of America" Mr.. Wannamaker said.
The South, he says, stands solid for
undefled Americanism and is deter
mined to protect the independence
for which our forefathers fought.
Mr. Wannamaker said great inter
est was manifested in the cotton as
ISOLATION wherever he went and the
big membership campaign is growing

ing highly pleased with the work of

ton are now in the senate chamber
OF the state capitol, along with the

WHAT WOMEN CAN DO
BY WORKING TOGETHER
Telephone Housekeeping" is Con-
demned and Placed Under Ban
By Thrift, Workers.

"If the women of America would
refuse to buy any perishable vege-
tables for five days, it would wreck
the market-that is the influence wo-
men have" was the surprising state
ment made at recent conference of
Georgia Women, when as director of
the Thrift and w. S. S. Campaign in
the Sixth Federal Reserve District,
| Mrs Samuel Lumpkin urged upon the
assembly their responsibility in the
High Cost of Living.
"As long as SO many women keep
house over the telephone and indulge
in haphazard methods of marketing
they will foil their country in the
campaign to reduce the High Cost of
Living-they and their families will
be the sufferers through their sloven-
~ methods in these matters.
"The woman who seldom enters
her kitchen, who never goes to mar
ket, but who, from list handed to
her By servant, orders the food for
the family over the telephone. is di-
recrly pandering to profteering
against which they talk so much at
bridge parties and afternoon teas.
Il am told that many women,
these days, have telephone tables by
their oeds; that they transact much

tions over the phone, and that they

"They do not know the fuctuating
values Of food stuffs; they do not
know, nor do they ask, the price of
things they purchase.
"Their servants give market orders
over the phone without the knowl-
edge of the so-called housekeepers,"
further said Mrs. Lumpkin.
ut would not be so bad, if these
unthlnking sisters were the only VIC
tins of their own neglect of woman.y
duty, but their bad habits react upon
the good housekeeping element of
women who are co-sufferers in the
present conditions.
If this system of telephone house
