stock have been introduced intp this
county thru the influence of the club
members. They are learning the value
Of the better grade of livestock. And |
forsee that in some future time " hen |
the boys who are now club members
have became men, they win own and
develop the livestock assets even far
ther than they are developing it at
present.
While they are in their youthful
days preparing for the embarkment
upon the river of life they are laying
the foundation for love of better live
stock. Soon the scrub cattle and
hogs, will have to take the back seat,
and give way to the advancement
made possible by the boys and girls
clubs. Soon the short crops, due to
faulty cultivation, and the poor live
stock, due to poor grade stock, will
have to sink into oblivion, and the inn
proved methods will take their place.
and reign supreme as the forward
guiding hand Of our republic.
Result Scientific Methods
Club members all over our land and
country are learning that food ane
feed can be produced at lower cost by
more scientific methods, and they are
going into this movement with the in
tention of learning all there is to learn
about the improved methods, and the
result is that soon our country will be
enjoying the most prosperous times
ever before undergone by our republic.
Club work opens up visions of other
things, other places, other possibilities,
it shows JUS how to produce more,
raise better livestock, and have a more
comfortable living, at the same cost.
Or, I long for the time when the
men and women of America will be
awakened to the vision of the times
which are before us if we only prac'
tice the improved methods. Is there
hard struggle for bare existence be
fore us? No, indeed not. But there
is prosperity awaiting us, there is con
tentment in store for those who will
learn by doing while in their youthful
days.
How beautiful it is to be out in
the country, amid the stupendous
scenery, while the country is in its
, gorgeous days of growing crops. How
beautiful it is TO be care-free, amlC
the springing flowers, and meath rh'

and smell the appealing essence Of tbs
sprightly boughs. How beautiful IL i!
to be out in the country away from
the noise and confusion Of the city
to see the bright sunbeams dance anC
play upon the grass Of early morn.
