Club Work Was Started
in Oklahoma in 1909

Fifty boys were pioneers in okla
homa in the boys and girls club
work carried on by cooperative agri-
cultural extension agents, these boys
Joining corn clubs in 1900 to learn
new and improved methods of produc-
ton. Now Oklahoma has more than
$4,000 Of these young farmers and
home makers, according to reports to
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, and in their club work they
are carrying on some $1,000 demon
strations in crop, vegetable. and fruit
growing, live stock production, can
ming, sewing, food preservation, and
home management. These figures and
other interesting facts regarding Club
work in that state were made the
basis of pageant, shown at a short
course given in August at the state
agricultural college, in which scenes
portraying the main club activities
were followed in each case Dy lantern

line of work.

Anchor Fence Posts
Against Frost Power
Method Illustrated Has Sew
eral Advantages.

The accompanying diagram illus
trates tested method Of anchoring
fence posts in the ground against the
lifting power of frost.
1T has the advantages" says the de-
sgner, "of being easier to set post,
takes less material. and when the time
comes to reset the end post 1t Will
take only fraction of the time and
labor to remove the old post that 1t
does to remove post set with dead
man and cross anchors. With the
material on the ground and favorable
digging conditions, one man can set a
ten-foot post in half day that VIII
stand all the strains put on 1t In or
binary fencing. This method Is espe-
cially suitable for gate posts.
"In setting the post it is best to dig
the hole so that the post sets firmly
against the front bank and then tamp
the dirt in up to the lower notch be-
fore putting in the lower Drace. We
dig a trench two spades deep from
the front wall back to where the rear
wall will come in starting the hole.
This gives room to put in the rear
brace as well as making 1t easier to
dig the rest of the post hole, which
need be only big enough to allow
tamping room.
"The brace block can be either a
rock of size such as one man can
move, or better, a cement block about
sixteen inches square by eight inches

Rat -Proofing Interest
Is Aroused in Oregon

The effect of anti-rat campaigns in
Oregon has been notable in the con-
tinued interest taken in rat-preven-
ton and rat-proofing measures. One
of the largest owners Of real estate
In the public market Of Portland was
80 favorably impressed with the work
done last year under the leadership
of the biological survey, United States
Department of Agriculture, in destroy
Ing rats and in establishing rat-proof
conditions that he has torn out the
entire interior of two Of the largest
buildings and is finishing them wholly
with concrete with a view to making
them completely rat-proof.
In Little Rock, Ark, as a result OF
the anti-rat campaign which was
launched there, steps were taken for
the Inauguration of general clean
up campaign in the city and for the
establishment Of more satisfactory
ordinances governing the construction
and repair of buildings, the disposal
of garbage and the screening of food
products,

Storing Sweet Potatoes,
Pumpkins and Squash

Pumpkins, squash and sweet pota-
toes should not be stored In the same
way as most other vegetables. They
must be taken in from the field before
freezing weather. A heavy frost or
quick chill on any of these crops Is
detrimental to their keeping qualities.
Pumpkins and squash may be har-
vested, placed In piles over the field
and covered with hay or other mate
rial. This will keep off the frost. AS
soon as cold weather comes they
should be taken into the storage and
kept at an even temperature of 65 to
20 degrees. Sweet potatoes, to be
well kept, must be dried at temper
ature Of 75 degrees for three weeks,
after that time the temperature may
be lowered to from so to 60 degrees.

Handling Of Hogs
Causes Big Loss
Annual Waste That Is Un-
necessary and Most of 1t
Due to Carelessness.

prepared by the Unit I'd States Department
OF Agriculture)
Loss through injury to hogs In ship
ment to market is an important Item
affecting the profits of the farmer and
shipper. During the past year In Pc
riod of six months there were received
at nine of the principal stock yards OF
the country a total of 2S,375 dead hogs
and 3S,7OS in a more or less crippled
condition, according to reports re-
ceived by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. These figures
Indicate clearly waste that is large
ly unnecessary. most of which can be
attributed to carelessness on the part
of those handling the animals at the
points of origin Of shipments.
Do Not Hurry Hogs.
Aside from the wrecks and extreme
weather conditions, there seems to be
no logical reason for so many hogs dy-
ing between points of origin and des-
tination. Much fault in this respect
Is attributed to improper handling OF
swine just prior to shipment Quite
often hogs about to be shipped are
rushed to some small inclosure.
penned up in crowded way, and fed
very heavy ration preparatory to
being hauled or.driven to stock car.
In getting them to loading point
frequently the animals are prodded,
kicked, and hurried until worried into
highly nervous condition. SUCH
hogs are often loaded in cars contain
ing sharp pieces of broken timber,
nails sticking out of boards, and In
which the flooring is covered with mud
aud rubbish, no precaution being taken
to remedy these dangerous conditions.
Often no bedding of any kind Is pro-
vided. Under such circumstances
many of the animals reach the yards
badly crippled, the injuries commonly
involving the hind quarters, resulting
In lowered quality of the most valua-
BILE cuts-the hams.
Avoid crowding Animals. -st
When ready for market, nogs should
be assembled sufficient length OF
time prior to the date of shipment to
allow them to become rested. They
should not be crowded into small pens
or houses nor fed heavy rations. II
they are driven to the loading point
they should not be rushed on the
way; II they are hauled too many hogs
should not be crowded into the truck
or wagon. The loading chutes should
| not be too steep, should be made Sc
cure and should have the sides pro
tected so that the animals will moi
! fall off, Crowding too many hogs In
a car, particularly in hot weather, Is
likely to result in number. of then
dying in transit. Loading hogs after
heavy feed is injurious to them. A
little hunger is far better for them OF
the journey than Indigestion. There
Is nothing to be gained in added
weight of the animals by forced feed
ing just before shipping. The ain
should be to get as many hogs as pos
sible to the stock yards In good con
dition.

Tough Fowls Cut Prices
and Discourage Sales

Tough chicken is not only dis
tasteful dish but it discourages the
consumption Of both live and dressed
poultry in cities and towns where the
old-fashioned fattening coop has been
removed from the back yard by people
who now depend upon the farmer or
poultry plant owner to feed the birds
and put them In shape for the pot and
pan.
The skinny birds sent to the market
not only get "cool reception" when
they are displayed on the table but
the family is not likely to request
chicken again soon. Repeat orders
are just as essential to the poultry
man as they are to other merchants.
In this field the flock owner can DO
much to increase his business and
revenue.

A wealthy man visited school and

"No, sir"
"rm sorry" said the rich man. "If

The same man was scheduled to
speak there again the following
month, and when he came the boys
were prepared for him; an empty
purse lay hidden in every pair of
trousers. And sure enough at the end
Of his speech he called another boy to
him. "Have you purse. little manT'

Right Foundation Stock
for Production of Eggs

If your foundation stock is from an
egg strain of proven worth, then the
care of hens becomes a simple matter
of providing well-ventilated, dry quar-
ters, proper. feed and sanitation. Your
reward will be an abundance Of eggs.
The best of care and attention will
avail little, however, in promoting
egg production in flock which ma.
ture has limited in egg yield. Better
to discard birds Of the latter type
than to go on from season to season
in an endeavor to develop them to a
basis where they win pay their keep
