way, using power sprayers which go
over the gardens at such stated inter-
walls as may be necessary for good re-
suits. These power sprayers are
simply driven into the alleys, and
lines of hose discharging the spray
mixture carried into the gardens. In
this way effective spraying can be

CIRCLES HELP FARM INCOME
Excellent Example Of Way In Which

Home demonstration workers realize
that before substantial improvements
can be made In rural home life there
must be more cash income with which
to install conveniences, correct defects
beautify the surroundings, or improve
clothing. On most farms the produc-
ton and selling of eggs and poultry
offer the best immediate possibilities
for increasing the income. The home
demonstration agents of the United
States Department of Agriculture and
the state agricultural colleges. there
fore have turned their attention to
giving help in this field whenever there
seemed to be need Of 1t.
The poultry project at Orchard Gar

way in which home demonstration

The poultry project was started by

The second step of the association was

funds that are left In the treasury at
the end of the season can be used for
promoting the garden movement the
following year or returned to the gar
deners.
Success In organizing city, town or
village garden work depends upon lead
ership, and the harmonious working
together of all concerned. One OF the
most successful garden clubs of which
there is record is governed by board
of nine directors who are elected an
nually by ballot. The directors elect
a chairman, secretary and treasurer
who constitute the officers of the club.
This club has beep in existence Tor
several years and has grown stronger
In its organization each year.
The formation of clubs consisting OF
those who plant gardens In their DacK
yards is little more difficult and
must include provision for rendering
distinct service to its members. This
service may consist of the purchase
of manure or fertilizers, blowing the
back yards. and supplying early
plants or seeds. The gardeners must
be made to feel that they are getting
something in return for their partici-
patton In the club and the payment OF
dues, otherwise little interest Will De
