BOYS' AND GIRLS' AGRICULTURAL CLUBS During the recent Annual Conference of County and Home Demonstration Agents, club work was discussed more than any other phase of county agents' work. ?Therefore we may conclude that it is of prime importance to the individual, the community and the county. The reason why this is brought to your attention is explained by the action taken by all county agents at the conference referred to above. County agents in each of the five districts in North Carolina voted on the county in^their district in which they wanted Boys' and Girls' Clubs organized and carried on for demonstration purposes under the supervision of a specialist. Due to the influence of Mr. J. R Sams, and his appeal for the work, Polk county received the greatest number of votes; therefore as we have been 'thus honored, it DenooveE us to pool our efforts and make a success of dlub activities during the year. ** At least one Agricultural Club will be organized in each township where the young people and their parents are in sympathy with the movement It is hoped that both jchildren and parents will foresee the benefits de rived from the training! in these pro posed clubs, and that they will co operate with the home and count) (Continued on page 4.) * > p- . .j. jj . , , HORSE j ?'
