The prospect for the best year yet in
the club work in this county is right
now before US. County Agent w. A.
Owen has already enrolled almost $50
boys in the clubs and has not completed
his rounds of the county for tn pur
pose. Miss Brasfeld has met fine sue
cess in organizing the girls clubs and
the whole future of club work in the
county looks more promising than it
ever has in previous years. The people

work of the clubs, one of the greatest

very gratifying to note the ncreaaed
interest in the club work.
