MANY BOYS AND GIRLS EARN
SCHOOL MONEY IN CLUB WORK

In fifteen southern states 2,042
boys and girls club members last
year paid all or part of their school
expenses from money earned in club
work. In other sections 1874 former
cluyb members are now attending ag-
ricultural colleges, most of whom are
partly paying their expenses from
club work earnings. This does not
include 465 girls taking home eco
Monies in various volleges. The num-
Der of boys and girls in al the states
attending high schools, normal

won for club work is LOG. These
clubs are an important feature of ex-
tension work as carried on by the
United States department of agri-
cultural cooperating with the state
agricultural colleges.

DEPARTMENT FILM FACTOR IN
INTERNATIONAL MEAT TRADE

Reports received by the United
States department of agriculture
from its foreign specialist in live
stock and meats, stationed In Eu-
rope, show the influence of education
al films abroad. A department film
entitled The Honor of the Little
Purple Stamp" showing the thor
oughness and economy of federal
meat inspection in the United States
is being especially well received.
At the request of the directors of
the German Meat Handling Associa-
ton and with the approval of the
department, this film is to be shown
in Berlin and Hamburg, Germany.
The audience will include German
government officials who will thus
obtain accurate information on the
thoroughness of the American inspec-
ton service. A knowledge of the
American system of meat inspection,
it is believed by directors of the as
sociation, will lead to the relaxation
of import restrictions on meat pro-
ducts entering Germany. Arrange

the amount that can be detected will
depend on the degree Of heat used

GIVING SHIPS WEATHER DATA

A particular feature of the recent
visit of Captain Philippe Wehrle
and Captain Marcel Coyecque, of the
National Meteorological Service OF
France, to the weather bureau of the
United States department of agri-
culture was the coordination of
plans for the benefit of ships in tran
sit acros the Atlantic. Looking to the
establishment of a system of reports
from the Atlantic ocean for assisting
in continental forecasting an for
the purpose of giving definite infor'
nation regarding storms and other
weather conditions, the French visit
ors believe that the extension of
the range of radio communication at
sea is an important step forward in
the attainment of this plan.
The marine division of the weather
bureau has for years maintained a
system of reports from vessels at sea
not only American ships, but those
of many nations. The official visit Of
the Frenchmen, however, is inteded
to establish a closer cooperation be-
tween their service and ours, and
for this reason study was made Of
the organization of the weather bu'
reau and its methods of forecasting.
