JUNIOR AGRICULTURAL CLUBS
MEET

The Junior Agricultural Club Of
Scaffold Cane invited the Junior Or
eanization Of Silver Greek to join
them in their meeting that was held
in the Scaffold Cane schoolhouse Sat.
urday evening, May 81.
A goodly number from both clubs
were there as well as several other
invited guests, including Mr.. Robert
Spence, the welcomed county
agent.
The program was varied one,
starting with a volley ball game
which was enjoyed Immensely by
everyone, both participants and root
ers alike. This game, by the way,
seems to be the beginning Of lively
inter-club volley ball program, for
each club is planning on perfecting
a team a little better than the others.
Then, too, the enthusiasm did not
stop with club members, for steps
were taken to organize two or more
teams in Scaffold Cane of those
slightly too old to be eligible in the
club team. The whole thing seems
to promise some fine healthy good
times to come for both young and
those not quite so young.
Next on the program was some
thing of especial interest. A snappy
report Of the different projects each
club member was doing and the
progress thus far attained. The
communities represented can well be
proud Of the work their boys and
girls are accomplishing, and every
American father and mother owe to
their boy OF girl, or both, the op-
potunity to join Junior Agricultur.
al Club, or, in other words, be
member of the Extension Division of
the University Of Kentucky, as their
county agent told them they we're.
The work is great and should be
given the earnest and hearty sup
port of every parent to those who
are trying to learn cheaper and bet
ter ways Of doing things than they
themselves perhaps know.
Eats, that's what came next, sand.
witches, nuts and apples. Everyone
enjoyed them, even tho there were
more mouths than were planned for,
and Mr.. Spence had to make out with
only one sandwich.
The next thing was really the big
gest plum in the pudding for the eve-
ming. 1t was the work of trying to pick
out the member from one club or the
other to represent them both at the
Junior Club Meet at Lexington about
the middle Of June. Some enthusi-
asm was aroused here as every mem.
Der wanted to 60. OF course that
was impossible so some method of
selection had to be planned. The
county agent said that if each club
wanted to send representative of
its own, he would see that it would
be made possible, even tho the allot-
ment is only ten from his district.
Fine. isn't it? They naturally did,
so Scaffold Cane adopted the follow
ing plan, proposed by A. B. Strong,
their club leader. An ice cream sup
Per would be given on the school
house grounds Saturday evening
June 3rd, preceded by a vo'ley ball
game, and that the member who sold
the greatest number of tickets to the
game would be the one to go to Lex.
ington, and that seven dollars of the
money thus raised (that is, from
both the game and supper) would
be used to defray his or her expenses
while in Lexington, as that amount
will be the cost for the entire
week. The one going will pay for
his own railroad ticket both ways,
about four dollars round trip. The
