Mrs. Kirk and Mendoza Preparing
Interesting Program for Club
Boys and Girls

In addition to the one-day program
to be held in Opelousas on Saturday,
June the fifth, Mrs. L. G. Kirk and
A. A. Mendoza plan to bring the club
work to the parents and children in a
very striking way. The one day in
town will be simply review of club
work in general and something de-
signed to give the children in the
different clubs an opportunity to see
the county and state agents and to
mingle with the children of other
clubs and spther communities thus
arousing a wider interest in club
work.
The follow-up plan to bring the
work home to the club members will
be in the form of a demonstration in
every community in the parish in
which the agents have clubs. The
busy season of the year, the canning
season has been selected for this
work. Mrs. Kirk plans to help the par
ents and children to learn the value
of practical work in cannang, poultry
raising and dairying, while Mr. Men

doza will interest the boys and the
farmers in hog raising, corn and cot
ton farming. Mr.. Mendoza is closely
affiliated with the American Cotton
Association and will have much to
say and to do in the line with the
work of this great organization.
Meetings of this kind arc row in
the club work and are calculated to
greater interest in clubwork by
working more with individual COM
mittees and club members. Every
phase of the club work will be touch
ed upon and nothing will be omitted
that will be either an immediate or
remote benefit to be derived from
cooperative club work throughout
St. Landry parish.
The lays selected by the agents
to have the club demonstrations and
community picnics in the different
communities will be announced in a
later issue of this paper.
