CARTHAGE, Mo, July 29.-The

Missouri district. now graduated tn
It's twonty-first year into an eXposi-
tion OF Importance OF the ozark soc-
ton IN agriculture. dairy cattle and
fruit culture, with grape growing as

Its entries for registered cattle

best known breeders OF the adjacent
territory uf Missouri Kansas and

stalls. and q very strong showing
OF tho highest bred animals.
The fair is held this year, as never
before with three distinct aims
demonstrating the results OF higher
grade Of seed corn produced through
the agency OF It's Boys Corn clubs.
the possibility Of making the O2arks
known as a dairy and creamery
country through !ts Boys Calr Clubs,
and the lesson OF a country wide
object lesson and illustration OF
grape planting by 1000 rural school
pupils such as had never before
been attempted unti Jasper coun-
ty last spring showed en- the way.
Tho reason why these three aims,
better seed corn more dairy cattle,
ana the O2srks as the biggest grape
growing territory IN the mld.Conu-
mental states. are Just now receiv-
ing special attention. is the outcome
OF sufficient preparatory work dur
ing the past decade.
The Boys Corn clubs. I'm their
training OF tho young farmers OF
Jasper county during their school
days as TO the secrets OF corn grow
ing has already been to give many
Of them tho front rank In the high
er educational institutions which
they have since attended. Some OF
the product Of the corn fields Of
these young farmer boys went
three years ago to an International
exhibition OF the best that could be
gathered from the United states and
the Dominion, and took tho highest
premium for It's seed value.
Through the medium Of Boys Calf
clubs, the object sought by the adop-
tion Of n Wisconsin idea that worked
well, was 20 introduce in Jasper
county as a beginning tho typical

Bennett, then and still state dairy
com missioner, five years ago made
n start at bringing the Wisconsin
idea to this southern cline. He In
vited the corporation Of one OF the
city banking institutions to finance
with funds TO buy the first 100 pure
blood heifers his experiment with a
calf club composed OF farmers boys
and girls. He had success at both
ends--in obtaining the membership
and the funds. A year passed and
the county had its first quota OF ma
tive-born cattle Of pedlgreed parent
age and scattered all through the
farms OF this county with as many
owners ms there were helfers.
Eliminating the Scrubs.
That was the beginning. In the
past five years nine calf clubs Of
Jersey and Holsteln breeds have
been formed by the same methods
IN tho county and have lnaugurated
registered breeds Of cat'le to take
the place of the scrubs with which
the farmers had hitherto been con-
tent. with this year the day OF per-
manent results is approaching
