of the first litter, when it had attain
ed the age fthe pig which she or he
received. TIE return of this pig TO
some other boy or girl was TO be the
payment for the original pig, interest
on the note was paid to the banker.
In 1921 the contracts were largely
renewed on the same basis as the pre-
vious year. One exception was made.
| That of requesting earlier spring far
rows and returning pigs that were
eight weeks old. In order to compen-
safe for the difference in the ages of
the hogs it was agreed that two pigs
eight weeks old be returned as pay
ment for the pig received the previous
year.
In 1922 the problem of continuing
this project arises again. This year
new contract will be made which is
built upon the same plan as that of
1921. Namely, two pigs eight weeks
old, the choice of the litters now en-
tered in the project will be distributed.
The boy or girl entering this project
this year will be requested to return
two pigs next year of the same age.
This promotion scheme not only en-
ables boys and girls to carry out a
club project but enables. them to get
real start in pure bred hogs, the
one time called mortgage litter on the
farm.
The total in money provided by the
bankers in the county to carry out
this project is about 600. The sac
rifiee made by the bankers in the
county in promoting this work should
be sincerely felt by all the parents
Of children in the county who realize
the value Of promotion work.
The opportunity to get a start in
good pure bred hogs is now before
every boy and girl in the county be-
tween the ages of ten and eighteen.

AS part of the pure bred seed

tension service of Vernon county, the
county agent will distribute to the
various schools of the county sufIici-
ent seed corn to plant two acres of
ground. The variety used is the Gold

and graded and is now ready for dis
tribution. The project is being work
ed throughout the schools in the coun-

school in the county to obtain twenty
pounds of this selected seed. The
corn, however, will be distributed tC
