THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER has always taken a keen interest in
the young people's club work in the Southcorn clubs, canning
clubs, pig clubs, poultry clubs, etc; As early as 1910 we organ
ized a 1 'Progressive Farmer Boys' Corn Club" in which more than
$1300 worth of
prizes were a ward
ed. This year it
is our ambition to
have 25,000 Pro
gressive Farmer
boys in corn club
and pig club work,
and 25,000 Pro
gressive Farmer
girls in canning
club and poultry
club work.
As helping to
this end we make
this offer to every
Progressive Farm
er boy or girl: If
you make the best
record made in
your county, in
corn, canning, pig
or poultry club
work, The Pro
gressive Farmer
will give you a
certificate, a hand
some and useful
look, and your
choice of a boy's or girl's magazine. And if you make the best record
in your State, The Progressive Farmer will give you a handsome g61d
medal a gold medal for every club in every Southern State.
Moreover, to Progressive Farmer boys in corn club work some of
the leading business men in America give freely the following magni
ficent list of over $1800 worth of valuable prizes. These prizes are
given outright by these liberal and progressive houses, and on behalf
of the 250,000 boys who read The Progressive Farmer, we here and
