At the close of its Forum session

ing its county Y. NJ. C. A. work:
| am very pleased to commend
the work done here by the Marion
County Y. NJ. C. A. under the di-
rection of Mr.. Walter, our county
secretary. When | take into con-
sideration the actual results
achieved, feel that we have re-
ceived both principal and interest

year. A year ago a great many
people in Marion county did not
see how any good work could be
done without building. They
are convinced. believe you will
be, too
"a secretary not tied down with
building can do great deal Of
work and bring about some most
gratifying results in county. Two
hundred counties are in opera

in Oregon: Marion, Umatilla and
Yamhill, fourteen in California. !
feel sure that one year from now

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS
GROWING RAPIDLY

During the first six months in
1920, 20S,257 boys and girls in
the Northern and Western states
enrolled in the clubs which are
supervised by the United States
Department of Agriculture and the
state colleges. The large enroll
ment in these clubs promises that
soon. possibly before the next cen
sus is taken, the exodus from the
country to the city will be defi-
nitely checked. Club work has al
ready dignified agriculture in the
eyes Of thousands upon thousands
of farm boys and girls, and made
them satisfied with country life,
for the organization brings new
interests into the lives of its mem
bers and enables them to make
money of their own. While club
work encourages boys and girls
to procure a. higher education if
possible-9S7 northern and west
ern club boys and COZ club girls
are in agricultural colleges this
year-it does not educate them
away from the farm.
One per cent of the total popu-
lation Of the country, or 1.041 AL
persons, were reached the first
six months of the current year
through the juvenile club events.
When the boys and girls put on
an exhibit it is popular with all
ages and all ages attend. The work
in the clubs was carried on BY l73 +
permanent county club agents and
S,04G volunteer local leaders The
of permanent club agents
has nearly doubled in six months.
Large numbers of farm bureaus
now are paying the salary of a .
club leader as well as that of a

tion agent.
