CHAPTER III.
On the Track Of a Crime.

In the city room of the Star, Farriss
the city editor, sat hack in his swive
chair smoking a farewell pipe pre-
paratory 70 going home. His thoughts
were suddenly interrupted by a clatter
of footsteps. and, Shaping his feet re

and Miss Donovan.

These objects are In process of at-

been pushed by our agents, larger
yields have been obtained, better pigs
have been raised and finer cattle, both
dairy and beef. have been grown The
rctto OF the clubs Is ITO Make the
Pest Better" Registered animals are
now common where only a few years
ego they were unknown. and there is
systematic effort TO Gull out scrub

of crops have been made by club men,

worthless. and little girls are wing
with the best packers i'm canning and
preserving fruits and vegetables, and
are becoming a potent factor in help
ing to make the farm home more
attractive and enjoyable.
The average yield per acre made by
club members In the growing of field
crops is two TO three times as large
as the average yields made In the
states In which the members are To-
Gated. Many people. seeing boy or

Helps Boys ard Girls.
The money value of the products of
club members is only small part of
the value of club work. Many boys
and girls have had their vision of life
enlarged by club membership. Many
have taken and are taking college
training. The agricultural colleges Of
the country especially have profited
I'm enrolment from the clubs. Many
boys and girls have made their own
money TO defray their college expenses
ir club activities. Many after grad
uation have returned TO the farms or
have engaged I'm extension work as
county agents. Rural life has been
greatly enriched in recent years by thu
trained leadership obtained from agri-
cultural clubs. The results obtained
ir this work justify many times the
expenditures made In securing them

velopment OF this useful work.
