Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Bowdoinham, Me-. Oct. 30.-The
Boys'and Girls Club of Bowdoinham
has the honor of being the Oldest
club in Maine and second Oldest In
the United States. 1t was organized

Edwin Lamereau. Clarence Gould,
Chester King, Irwin Moore and
Milton McEwen soon followed. They
finished that year at 100fo. Their
interest was kept up and their num-
bers grew each year due largely to
their fine leader, Charles White.
Milton McEwen. Leonard Bishop and
Wallace Amcs were chosen the sec
ond year to demonstrate poultry
raising at Springfield. Mass. and
they returned with third honors
with II states competing. They also
won the highest state honors among
a group of $50 members. In 1918 the
Girls Club was started and 1t be-
came a Boys, and Girls Club. Later
two CLUBS were formed. one IN lne
village. called Quito Win and one
at East Bowdoinham, called. Merry
Workers. The Merry Workers be-
came the smarter of the two clubs
and won charter and one gold seal.
The next year both clubs united
under the name of Merry Workers
and continued as a joint body until
this year when the boys organized
with Kenneth Weber as leader and
they went under the name of Bow
doinham Boys Club. The "irls were
organized with Emily Rideout as
leader and they retained the old
name of Merry Workers. Again the
Merry Workers showed their energy
and zeal for they have completed
their work at almost 1000 given

Smaller Apple
Crop This Year

Inc, per capita consumption of ap-
pies in the United States is now about
half an apple a day, says the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The total crop this year will reach
l64, 100000 bushels compared with
l79O0O,OO0 bushels last year. The de-
crease in total production, however.
is partially offset by the fact that the
crop is of unusually fine quality. and
less than the usual proportion will 90
to waste or be used for manufactur
ing purposes. The portion known as
the commercial crop will reach 30
la oo0 barrels compared with 23,-
$4,000 barrels last year. Northwest
ern apples are being shipped RAPIDLY
and are now reaching the peak move
ment. Federal inspection of apples
at shipping points is also greater
than last year, inspections in the
Northwest promising to be so per
cent more than in any preceding sea
son.

Breeders Cooperate

Pure bred breeders in Maine are
CO operating with the State College
and Extension Service in the Better
Bull Campaign and are offering var-
ious inducements to the owner of
scrub or grade bulls to replace them
with purebreds. Some are exchanR-
ing purebred bull calf for mature
scrub bull and various other eX-
changes and methods of financing
the pure breds are being considered.
Jefferson Farms of Jefferson, Me.
have offered to furnish pure bred
Aberdeen Angus bull calf at half
price to any breeder who will grow
the calf to eventually take the place
of a scrub bull. Maine farmers
realize the need for better sires and
the improvement of the livestock of
the State and the time should not be
far off when the scrub bull and the
dodo will be in the same class so far
as Maine farmers are concerned.
