The close record kept by the mem
bers of the pig clubs, showing the
gains in weight and nature of the feed
ing, furnishes statistics on rate and
costs that adults have wanted to know
but We're not certain how this infOrma-
tion could be secured.
Those who have Witnessed the pig
club exhibits at the various fairs in
Illinois this season, will realize the
truth of this statement. The intelli-
gence displayed by club members, the
responsiveness of the pigs to good
care and kind treatment. the high
quality Of the exhibits and the busi-
nesS-like air Of the contestants, has
stimulated men to the point where
they, too, want to produce high-class
stock and enjoy the thrill that goes
with successful achievement.
The pig club is carried on through
cooperation between the Animal Hus-
bandry Division of the Bureau of Ag-
riculture and the state agricultural
colleges.
A swine specialist. supported by
funds appropriated by congress, goes
to the states seeking his services, and
he supervises the operation of the
various clubs, and is consulted upon
methods and technical advice. He
arranges state exhibits, judging con-
tests, etc, and supplies rules and reg.
ulations.
The individual work Of these agents
would accomplish but little were it not
for the splendid cooperation extended
by the bankers. business men. breed
ers and others interested. The work
succeeds because the agent multiplies
his influence through ali the coop

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. Oct. 9.-Illi-
nois leads the union in the number
Of pig, calf and sheep clubs for boys
and girls of the farm Reports just
compiled show that several thousand
young people enrolled this year and
are now cashing in as result Of their
six months care of the live stock en-
trusted to them.
IN the United States there are 10000
pig club members alone, producing
100000 pounds of dressed pork,
valued at $3,00O,000. The calf and
sheep clubs are about half as numer
Gus, with perhaps $4,000 enrolled.
The pig and calf club boys have
taught the adults the superiority of
the pure bred over the scrub. They
have also taught them that good in
diyidual animals bring fancy prices
Before the pig clubs became mum
orous, it was difficult to induce tar

stock ard believe that they are max
ing a wise investment. There is evil
dence In abundance that the pig club
works successfully in stimulating the
swine industry.
It is a practical and constructive
means of stressing economy of produc-
tou through the utilization Of wastes,
hy-prodUcts, and grazing crops, as we'll
as through the use of good breeding
stock and their proper care, feeding
and management. 1t helps solve many
Of the problems of swine husbandry
These objects are attained through the
innate appeal of animal life TO young
people.
Many Bankers Interested.
Many bankers Of Illinois have be-
come interested in the pig and calf
clubs. In many cities these men have
offered to finance the purchase of the
animals. to be repaid after the sale
was effected later in the season.
One Of the outstanding effects Of
the pig and calf club work, is the i'm
proveme ent in feeding methods by
adults who have become interested In
the scientific methods adopted by the
progressive youth, In some neighbOr-
hood radical changes in character OF
the feeding have been made as a re-
suit of the demonstrations made by
the boys.

FARM LABOR.

During the last three or four
years Mississippi has lost quite a
good deal of labor by men going
to industrial centers seeking high
er wages and also by men being
drawn into the army. This has
resulted in shortage of labor
and higher wages. But in spite
of all this Mississippians have
nobly responded to the call of
greater food production. The call
is still on and the problems in
labor shortage will be as great in
1919 as heretofore. How can
this labor be brought back to the
farm? AS men in the army are
being demobilized and the govern
ment war contracts are being
ing cancelled, thousands of former
farm laborers are being turned
loose. Now is the time, for Miss
issippians to get her lost labor
Dack, ana Cnat which cannot be
induced to come back must be
substituted for in some way.
To the man who has been
drawing high wages and the man
who has been in the army, our
present farm labor conditions do
not appeal. Conditions in other
vacations are more appealing to
him, and therefore if he is in
duced to come back to the farm,
conditions under which he labors
must be improved and made to
appeal to him.
A more efficient use Of labor Is
necessary. This means that labor
must be supplemented with I'M
proved farm machinery. Better
houses for laborers-nice. COM
Portable quarters make for con-
tentment and health.
Better pay; if we would induce
laborers to return to the farm ~
must naelts their wages full si,s-

lures were still green and the
fields were verdant with the
sprouting fall grain crop. The
fields were separated by hedges
neatly trimmed. Every farm

stock were well kept and well
housed. Everything looked like

that we were in crowded car,
