Exposition Planned.

1t would not be possible to organize
clubs in all the communities of the
county this year so that all the boys
and girls could be included. Because
of this fact, it is felt that in some
way the work should be planned so
that every boy and girl under 19
! years of age should have an opportun-
ity to work upon project and take
part in this club work even though
there are no organized clubs In many
communities. So plans are being
made for a county exposition this
next fall at which the boys and girls
can bring their exhibits and compete
for liberal prizes.
All kinds of garden products, cam
ned goods, needle work, handicrafts,
live stock and crops will be exhibited
at that time. No boy or girl may
exhibit anything but what they own
and had the care of during the sum-
mer. The premium list is being pre-
pared and will be issued within a
short time.
/ Every boy or girl in the county
with good red blood in their veins
will want to get in on one or more OF
these contests. Decide on one or two
things and then go to it. Don't try to
spread out over lot of projects and
not do any one of them well. Plan
to take a firfst prize inthe project
At this exposition, club teams will

jects, games will be played, races

WIN Is Club Work Part of the
Farm Bureau?

The ideal Farm Bureau employs
three leaders: county agricultural
agent, a home demonstration agent,
and a boys and girls club leader. We
find that the rural problems of men,
women and boys and girls are all tied
so tightly together that to put across
community projects requires the CO.
operation of the men, women and
young people. And the three agents
of the HideaP Farm Bureau are en-
ployed to assist in developing such
work The villages are by no means
neglected. The county agent strives
to create a better understanding be-
tween the business and farming inter
ests; the home demonstration agent
assists women's clubs and groups OF
women in various projects and pro-
grams of community betterment;
while the club leader assists In or
ganizing clubs for the boys and
girls and finding local leaders.
The foregoing may be very briefly
explained by Article 2 of the Consti-
tuition and bylaws of the Orleans
County Farm Bureau association
which states:
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1920-03-31

We are off in the campaign in Or
leans county for $1,000 to give the
boys and girls an experienced club
leader, who in turn will secure local
club leaders and organize nearly
every community into a community of
achieving young people.
But the goal is $1,000 and without
your help, the splendid possibilities of
this great movement may not be
realized.
What if we do not raise the $4,000
in this drive necessary to properly
carry on club work? Will we obtain
any money for any kind of club work
from state or government sources!
A Absolutely not! The $500 which
will be paid into this county by the
state and government toward club
work is provisional upon:
/. The actual employment of a
county club leader.
2. Raising the necessary funds
and hiring leader before July 1st OF
this year.
If this matter is not arranged for
before July 1st and we should wish
to employ a club leader next fall or a
year from now, only about 5000, IN
stead of $500 would be available
from outside sources. This cut OF

Who Employs the Club Leader?

WHo EHtpeoYe tfCe N1eco DC"NS0'
The county club leader will be en-
ployed jointly by the United States
Department of Agriculture, the ex-
tension service of the agricultural
college, and the Orleans County
Farm Bureau. 1t will be the same
plan as that used in the case of the
county agent. The club leader will
be the employee of the Department
-College-Farm Bureau Company"
but the department delegates to the
college the supervision of this work.
So then a candidate for this position
must be satisfactory to the Execu-
tive committee of the Farm Bureau
and the director of the extension ser
vice. Each of the three members of
the t'firm" are paying a part of the
salary and expenses of the club
leader, hence they act together In en-
ploying such a leader.
