COUNTY AGENT NOTES
III. G.. Seyforth

The County Agent is now on the
job, and has already been in every
township in the county. He has be-
come acquainted with every banker
and editor in the county. As you
must realize that there are 1913
farms in the county it is going to be
rather hard to visit every farm in
the county, but | want to meet every
farmer that | can. 1t will be much
better to meet them in groups so if
there are any farmers meetings in the
county, l would like TO know about it
so / can attend them. Possibly it
will be so that we can plan special
meeting little later.

Calkins Makes Announcements

To Orleans County Voters:-
/ have decided to be a candidate for
county senator, having been born on
an Orleans county farm in Morgan,
and having followed the pursuit or
agriculture since, | am thoroughly
convinced that the advancement OF
agriculture should be given every en-
couragement.
/ believe in such agricultural edu-
cation. cooperation, demonstration
and development as will increase pro-
duction, make better market dlstrlbu-
ton, and make more nearly possible
the self sustaining communities
which Vermont formerly enjoyed.
More than anything else this would
tend to reduce the high cost of living,
bring about greater content IN labor
centers and serve in some degree to
keep our young people in the state.
Such legislation as would accomplish
these things would be my aim. Ac-
companying such a program must be
better roads, greater rural school and
social advantages, a more equita bic ad-
justment of tax burdens, and the ne
cessity of the farmer himself, becom-
ing better business man.
Such, in a word, is my belief, and
my platform. Better agriculture is
the nations need and Vermont's
greatest asset.

says;
Dean Mcclellan of Barton has pur-

Johnsbury and Mr.. Harris half in
terest in the old johnson block where
the store is located. An inventory is

Mr.. Mcclellan is a hustling young
merchant who has been in the cloth

boys and girls develop efficiency and
enthusiasm in work through pro-
grams of contests, demonstrations,
and home activities.
SECOND Each boy and girl needs
an opportunity to voluntarily select
for self industrial, home making, COM
mercial, trade, or agricultural activ-
tiles in order to find the thing for
which he is best fitted. The Achieve
ment Programs attempt, through or
ganiZed leadership and contests, to
help boys and girls find themselves
and fit into work which is the basic
thing for success in life.
THIRD. 1t is the. function of the
Boys and Girls club work to capital
iZe the educational value of industry,
commerce, and trades through train
ing and reinforcement by the expert
men and women of these institutions
FOURTH 1t is the aim of the
Boys and Girls club work to so stage
programs of work that they become
sports, sort of football games, for
ORGANIZED eroups. These groups are
thus to be given dignified programs of
work and a chance to earn and own
property at home, their achievements
to be recognized by their parents and
the public. This may be supplement-
ed by the courage and insDiration
from achievement songs, yells, and
medals.
FIFTH To assist existing organ
izations to supplement in so far as
possible their programs of play, re-
creation. hiking, camping, so that
boys and girls may be trained in nor
NAL work as the basic thing, and re-
creation, plav, vacations, pleasure
trips, ETC.. thus become by-products
of the achievement in work.
When play, recreation, camping,
and other unproductive activities are
overdone. thev boone intoxicating
and develop abnormal desires for ex-
ipensive living without developing a
corresponding power to earn or afford
such a living. The mistaken notion
toften exists in the minds of the par
ents as well as leaders of young peo-
pie, that children should not work
until after their teens, because their
tender bodies will not stand II Most
of US ought to know better. Children :
through undirected play, moreoften
overdo in the straining of nerves,
muscles, mind and body, than they do
! in properly organized work.
The important thing is to make
