WEEKLY NEWS NOTES
(By County Agent.)
Boys and Girls Pig and Calf Club
Enrolment Closes June 18th.


Enrollments for the Boys and Girls
Pig and Calf Clubs must necessarily
close June 7th so that all the club
work will be completed at a. uniform
time. The Boys and Girls Clue Fair,
which is being planned for this fall,
will be by far the greatest of its kind
that st. Francois county has yet seen.
Good prizes will be offered. AS yet,
our enrolment is not up to where 1t
should be. The Farm Bureau, through
its calf and pig clubs, is offering the
boys and girls wonderful opportun-
itv to do something for themselves
and their county. There is good mon
ey in raising good pigs and calves at
the present time. By joining one OF
these clubs, boys and girls will be able
to secure registered pigs and calves
of good individuality at much cheap
er price than they would otherwise.
Arrangements can be made to take
care of boys and girls that are not
able to pay for their pig or calf at the
time it is purchased. Not having mon
ey to pay for the animal will not be
allowed to keep any boy or girl out OF
one of our clubs. Listen, boys and
girls, this club work and this club
fair is the biggest thing you have ever
had an opportunity to have part IN:
Aren't you interested to the extent OF
finding out all about it from the Coun-
ty Agent. Aren't you interested to
the extent that you will talk your pa. !.
rents into learning the particulars OF
it? / am sure that you are. Re-
member that the enrolment closes
June 7th and that you are going to
have to get your name in and learn our
plans right away. AS soon as we have
gotten the names of all interested boys
and girls, we will call county meet
ing and explain the plans of getting
the calves and pigs and what they Will
cost and should there be any at that
time who would not want to go ahead
with the work, they could then drop
out. There is an article elsewhere IN
this paper on the club work. Fill out
that blank and mail it in to the Coun-
ty Agent at once so that you will re-
ceive notice of the date of our meet
ing.
