County Agent, J. F. Backstrom. has the following to say with refer enee to the Boys and Girls Agricul- tural Clubs for Washington County:

There were fourteen regularly organ ized clubs with total membership of 193 or about 50 per cent of the to- tai enrolment. The work aeeona- pllshed was exceptionally good con s!dering the abnormal conditions due to the war and the very sevure drought. This is the first time that organized clubs have been tried out in this county. We find this group plan far more successful than the old plan of working with individuals.
 All boys and girls who ,mpleted their years project ind submitted complete record of came have aeen given Certificate of Awarl signed by the State and County Agents. When four years work is completed a diploma will be given. One hundred and twenty-four members in the county have received theie eertifi- eates for the past years worS
 During the present year we expect to work thru organized groups almost entirely. We are going to offer a first prize valued at one hundred dol- lars for the best club in the county this year and. perhaps second prize valued at fifty dollars The basis of the award will be on the following points;
 1. Highest total enrolment, 25 per cent.
 2. Highest percentage of average attendance of meetings during the year, 25 per cent
 3. Highest percentage of members submitting complete records of years work. 25 per cent.
 4. Highest percentage of members exhibiting at County Fair, % per cent.
