PUT YOUR BOYS
+ AND GIRLS IN
CLUB WORK

Club work for young people
from q modest bt.gi nniug q few
years ago. has now spread al
over the South; in fact, any coun.
ty now without club work is con.
sidered behind the times. And
the same may be said of the
farmer himself. II his children
are not enrolled as active club
members, he Is neglecting an
opportunity that may mean much
in their future lives.
In recent years there has
come to the agricultural South a
prosperity that we believe will
long continue. Good prices for
all our crops seem likely for a
number of years because, for one
thing, so many people. enticed
by high wages, have left the
farms fer the cities, that farm
proGuction over a period of years
Is not likely to be larger. and
good prices will naturally result.
In other words, from an unat.
tractive. poorly paid business,
farming having the next decade
offers splendid opportunities to
young men of energy, intelli.
gence and training.
1t Is the duty of the parents of
our farm boys and girls to do
everything in their power to fit
the South's future farm men aud
women for their tasks and re.
sponslbilities. Trained minds
have always been at a premium,
and in the next quarter-century
of Southern agriculture this will
probably be doubly true. There
are great things ahead Tor the
Young man who is fitted for their
work; who knows livestock. soils,
field crops and fertilizers from
both the practical and scientific
standp0iLts.
In getting this essential know.
ledge, club work is a factor that
we hope no Progressive Farmer
parent will overlook. 1t teaches
agriculture and home science. il
ievelopes a spirit of friendly nv
airy, and the association Of the
" ung people In their club meet
inRs will be OF great value TO
them in later LIE.

particular part in the preparation
Ola crop for q high market
price. Your tiers should be at
least aft in depth; the tobacco
should be hung from IL to ID
inches between each stick when
first hung up. but as soon as it
begins to cure, say in s or 10
days of good curing weather,
you can close the sticks up TO
about 8 or 10 inches apart, thus
giving you considerably more
loom. OF course you begin hang
ing the top part OF your barn
first so in the fist top tier next
to the roof you can hang it much
closer than the above rule, as the
sun shines very hot on the roof
and heating this tier very warm
it soon willis and starts to cure up
much quicker than the tobacco
lower down in the barn. Another
thing in hanging 1t, be very care
full to equally distribute each
plant on the stick and to shake
the stick very good so as to
shake out all leaves that might
be broken and lodged In the
stick of tobacco. This will also
enable all leaves to straigh,en
out, which would have been left
doubled up. These loose leaves
and leaves left doubled up in the
stick will cause il TO house burn.
this grade Of to bacco brings the
least price Of any grade VI the
market.
