PCUREBRED STOCK BUYING
NEED OF CLUB MEMBERS
IN THURSTON COUNTY

November LIST ended the year for
club work in Thurston county. Rec
ord books of club members have been
turned in and the annual report OF
the county club agent has been COM
piled for them.
The animal report of the Club
Agent shows many interesting things
regarding club work in this county
One of the outstanding detects rs the
lack of purebred animal clubs. Sew
eral boys in the county had purebred
registered o. I. c. sows and good
profits were made from them. The
net returns from these sows was far
in excess of the grade sows.
Chester Richel of Forest showed
a profit of $1O7.62 from his
purebred o. I. c.. Daniel Mounts Of
Nisqually had profit of $92. Rich.
ard Reichel of the .Lakamas school
turned in a profit Of $64 from his
grade 0. /. c.
The success OF these boys has In
spired others to follow in their foot
steps. One purebred pig club is
already organized at the South Bay
school and another is in the process
of organization at Forest and Laka-
mas. In other districts the Farm
Bureau programs call for pig club
work and IL this is properly support
ed by the grown people there is no
doubt but that it will be successful.
The results of club work in the city
schools was very poor with the excep-
ton of canning club work. Garden
club work was practically a failure,
