1t has been one of my pleasures
to mingle with them, and before we

organized the Poultry club. The
same girl is president and will soon
receive her second certificate; four

was possible to organize and inter-
est them at that time.
The United States agricultural ex-
tension work is conducted by the

There are men and women "onery'

ashamed to let them show the par

homes mean more to them, and their
