BOYS and GIRLS Make Bic
SUCCESS IN POULTRY WORK
Poultry Clubs Organized by u. S. De-
partment of Agriculture and State
Agricultural Colleges Increase in
Numbers and Efliciency-Evcry
State in Union Has These Clubs.

In Catawba County, N. c., live two
boys. Their last name is Wagner and
their first names are Paul and Aleen.
The poultry club agent who supervises
their work does not state in his report
what their middle names are, but,
judging from their achievements
Hustler would be eminently suitable,
icr in 1919 these two lads made pro-
fit of $547.79 on their backyard poul-
try and squads and won 27 first prizes
in the best shows in the State, in both
open and club classes.
Paul and Aieen belong to ole off the
many poultry clubs which are organic
ed by the United States Department of
Agriculture and the State colleges.
Last year they started the seasons
work with GO standardized hens of
three different breeds-White Leg
horns, Barred Plymouth Rocks, and
Rhode Island Rets. The eggs and
chickens which the boys sold from
their flocks during the year amount
ed to $593.74. AS their expenses were
$296.22, a profit of $29752 was left.
One end of the poultry house in the
Wagner back yard is devoted to
pigeons, of which Paul and Allen have
about 100 pairs. A flying pen outside
allows the birds an opportunity for
outdoor flying and completes prac-
tical, inexpensive pigeon loft. Almost

785 squads, number which, from
losing most Of the young squads hatch
ed in January and February, is far be-
low what they hope to sell in an or
dinary year. The amount received for
the squads was $445.23. The cost of
their feed was $194.96, leaving a profit
for the boys of $250.27.
Juvenile Poultry Clubs.
Only in comparatively recent years
has poultry production been rccogniz-
ed as both a valuable national asset
and very important part of the op-
erations of the farm. One Of the i'm
portant factors in bringing about the
realization of the Importance of the
poultry industry is the establishment
of poultry clubs among the boys and
girls. Just as poultry keeping was
formerly considered minor branch of
farm work, so it was formerly thought
that the keeping of fowls was purely
an activity for adults. With the de-
velopment of other forms of agricul-
tural clubs among children it was
found that there was very definite
place for clubs having for their object
