PROSPECTS FOR CLUB
WORK BY BOYS, GIRLS
GOOD, STATES LEADER

Prospects for boys and girls club
work in Indiana are unusually good
this year, according 10 E. L. Austin,
state club leader from Purdue. who
was in consultation with County Agent
J. L. Dolan, Wednesday. In company
with Mr.. Dolan several communities in
Wayne county were visited and inquir-
les made as to the possibilities for
club work. Especial commentator was
given Wayne county by the Purdue
man for its interest in club work, and
the plans for this seasons activities.
A Jersey calf club is contemplated
by leaders Of Economy and the Perry
township community and the Purdue
and Wayne county agent office will
work in cooperation with them so far
as necessary. A beef calf club is being
organized in the western part of the
the pig clubs which will be organized
in several townships under direction
of the breed clubs, with supervision
from county Office.
Work Causes Interest.
interest III extension WOfk Is so
great that Purdue is compelled to slow
up on it rather than to push more pro-
jects," said Mr.. Austin, Wednesday.
Due to the cut in appropriations by
the last legislature, we are unable TO
extend our activities without doing in
justice to those already started and
Purdue is following the plan of com
pleting satisfactorily what is on hand
rather than starting more that can be
only half finished"
Poultry clubs will have a record
registration this year according to the
club leader. Pig and corn clubs are
about equal in numbers with no such
increase as shown by poultryt clubs
Especial success is being experienced
by the domestic science extension
club leaders, principally, Mr. Austin
thought because more leaders could
be found among the women to give
time and attention to direction OF
girls club work, than among the men
for boys club work.
Henry and Randolph counties are
two that have strong poultry clubs
partly due TO Smith Hughes men who
are employed to give agricultural in
struction at Mt. Summit and at Win
chester high schools.

THOUGHT CORN GOOD,
FOUND out MISTAKE

"My corn is all right, think" said
a Wayne county farmer as he brought
sample into the county agents office
last week. 81 have brought some in
for testing just TO see what it will
do and see how the tester works"
OF this particular DO ear sample, 20
ears were thrown out as unfit for seed,
according to Charles Flock. who Is
operating the county tester Ears
were affected with root rot and molds,
and many showed a very weak germin-
alton, although the ears had a good
appearance upon superficial examin-
alton.
This example was cited by Mr..
Flock as proof of the necessity of test
ing corn, especially this year when
disease is so prevalent and so hard to
find merely by the appearance of the
ears.

REPLY OF u. S. TO THE
INVITATION TO GENOA
FARLEY Is POSTPONED

Washington, Feb. 10.-The atti-
tude of Fra nee towards the pro-
posed economic and financial con-
ference at Genoa next month has
resulted in further postponing the
decision Of this government on the
invitation to participate, it was
learned today in official circles,
The White House announced last
Tuesday that Americas reply to
the invitation was to have been
made public today.
The request of Premier Poincare
of France that the conference be
postponed at least three months
for more careful advance prepara-
tiJns, 1t was understood was re-
ceived here today and caused a
furry in diplomatic circles. Later
the state department denied that
the proposal had been received.
Secretary Hughes conferred at
length with President Harding
after the regular cabinet meeting
and it was understood the economic
was discussed,
The president was unable to
meet representatives of the press
this afternoon, and Secretary
HUGHES declined to meet them,
Relief prevailed in official quar-
ters today that the action of the
French premier had forestalled any
reply from this country To Italy's
invitation. 1t was said that a con-
ference with France absent would
be virtually no conference, and in
some circles the belief was eX-
pressed that no action would be
taken on the invitation Of Italy at
this time.
