most of an egg circles members are
women.
The first egg circle in Lee county
was organized near shannon. in 1915.
by the county home demonstration
agent. who is survived " the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
and the state colleges. There were
only members at first, but the num-
Der soon increased to 20.
The circle adopted certain rules,
some of which were to gather the eggs
once or twice daily. to stamp name
and address Of circle with indivi-
duaps number on each egg. and to
meet once week in winter and twice
in summer. If member was guilty
of selling bad egg, she must pay a
fine The individuals number on the
shell of returned egg located the
guilty one. The circle eggs were
packed in 30-dozen egg cases. The
secretary-treasurer kept account and
settled with the member the week
following the sales. Turns we're taken
in carrying the eggs to town. This
circle still exists, and as time has
gone on has broadened its field of
cooperation Now it sells butter as
well as eggs, and the members buy
many of their supplies comparatively.
Other communities in the county
have taken up the idea, and some Of
them are doing even bigger things
than the original group. Two of the
other circles have membership of
so each. Desires increasing their own
incomes the members of an egg cir
Gle" put a better class of eggs on the
market The social and educational
features of a circle" are also con-
siderable.
The two largest circles" in Lee
county ship most of their eggs direct
~ to Memphis. In 1919 they Melted
81 500 over what they would have re-
ceived on the local market for their
products.
The Shannon circle last year
sold $5,s31.1O worth of eggs; and the
Baldwin, the other large circle sold
Sc ,3O4.30 worth. These two circles
in II months time marketed 2s,746
dozens of eggs.

WHY THEY LEAVE THE FARM

Unless there is a vastly greater pro
duction of food in the United States
during the coming summer, experts
are predicting serious consequences.
AS usual, too, mere is another big re-
vival of the talk about ways and
means of keeping the boy on the
farm 1t. seems that the boys and
girls are leaving the farms in greater
numbers than ever before and some
thing just naturally must be done TO
bring them back if the farms are to
be cultivated and the nations food
supplies are to be assured.
The situation, moreover, is easy to
arrive at. All that is needed is to
make the farm home as attractive as
the city home, the pleasures as at
tractive, the opportunities for educa-
ton and culture as great, and equal
chances for money-earning individual
mcney-earning as the boy or girl
would find in town.
The Metropolis has long believed
that the answer to the question, why
did you leave the farm, my lad?" was
exactly answered in these verses
whose authorship we don't know
and that tie poem" as whole
should be memorized by every farm
