BROWNE . in pig club Work are showing some very interesting; results. Because of the poultry clubs there are more pure-bred chickens in the state than in any previous year, and by far more modern comforta ble chicken houses for the poultry this winter than ever before and con sequently there will be more eggs. Interest in the crop rotation club is quite gratifying, especially ambng the adults. They realize that the growing of an acre of corn -on the same land each year is not good farm practice, and they are urging' their boys to go into the rotation club. we are anxious to igetlhei'lboys and their fathers to realize lhat dll these clubs merge into 'the oys agricultural club work, and we want the boys to ioin the airnVi,t- tural club and then decide to grow LOOK HERE, YOUNG FOLKS ARE you reading our weekly ar tides on Farm Facts Every Boy Should Know" and "The WJde-awake Girls Learn Gobd ,"U8ekeepinM?
