What can the flooded farm do now,
to earn its keep?
Only three months in which anything

City people do not know 1t. but one
of the most troublesome results of a
prolonged and beating rain such as that
of the fated June Is the packing of
the soil. In a general way 1T may be
stated that a soil which does not
crust and pack under such rain Is
TOO sandy and loose for successtu! ag-
riculture and can not retain moisture
long enough to perfect a crop of any
kind. From this extreme there are a
hundred grades up to the stiff adobe
which like some people is always

GUSHING SPRINGS RUN

Tho rain was a more or less steady
downrour. and instead OF running off
high in the mountains. AS some more
sudden storm would have done, began

"The club plan for boys and girls
is in my estimation the best way TO
build new and better agriculture.
Sometimes the efforts OF agricultu-
raj leaders are sadly handicapped
through prejudices, through politics
and through bad farm practice, which
seem to be prevalent in nearly every
neighborhood. but when the boys and
girls start on their work they are
totally unbiased and with youthful en-.
thusiasm follow the instructions Of
their leaders to the letter, and in con-
sequence there are many instances
where the children do much better
work than their fathers.

nhI EARLY every state now has a
~ State Live Stock Show, where
and girls clubs are sure to receive the
most enthusiastic attention.
'The practice of local bankers and
other public-spirited men who are pri-
marily interested in building up the
agricultural resources of community
in offering cash prizes for the best ami
mails, cannot be too highly commend
ed says Mr.. Frank Baackes, Vice
President, American Steel and Wire
Company.
In many localities the boys and
girls clubs, under the state leader and
under the immediate supervision Of the
county agent, have imported carloads
of bloodcd calves and arrangements
have been made with the local banks
fer the boys on their own unsecured
notes to buy these animals, and to the
credit of the young stock raisers it
may be said that seldom or never docs
one of these contestants fail to pay
his obligation in full.
THE result can scarcely be measured.
In the first place it develops the man
~ quality in each boy to make himself
confident; second, it teaches him ami
NAL husbandry in a way which never
can be learned from books; it engen-
ders a spirit of emulation among the
youth of the neishborhood, creating an
aristocracy of achievement; it reflects
the same spirit throughout the entire
family and as usual thing the boys
and girls who are not in the animal
contests have started something else
in another direction fully As commend
able; finally it teaches the value Of
the dollar and how to produce live
most economically.

"The boys and girls projects are the
foundation of better agriculture. It's
pretty hard to teach old dogs new
tricks, and while undoubtedly farmers
are becoming more efficient, yet we can
expect more from the new crop than
we ever can from the present genera
tion.
There is another feature of the boys
and girls club work which commends
itself, and that il tina. the prize win
ners generally are required to state in
writing how they did it.
''In many localities the children of
tho rural schools are encouraged to
give school fair every fall, and each
pupil brings the result of his years
work to the school premises, where
regular fair is pulled of, conducted en-.
tirely by the children.
ut is interesting to note that start
ing with these school fairs many .
prize winner at the International Stock
Show has been entered by these youth
full contestants. Another feature
which adds To the interest of these con-
tests is the parade Of all the entries
in the fall. where each boy leads his
prize animal through the streets OF
the town, all business being suspended
and the whole community turns out 10
applaud each entry as it passes the
