The Third Annual Boys' and Girls' Club Week was held at the College. 

 Only those Club members who had won state or county championships in 

 their various projects were eligible to attend. One hundred thirty-three club 

 champions, together with their leaders, representing 26 counties, were in atten- 

 dance during the week. The First Annual Club Week for Northern Peninsula 

 club members was held at the Experiment Station, Chatham, in August. One 

 hundred winners of state and count}^ championships attended this club camp. 



Scholarships. 



In accordance with action taken by the State Board of Agriculture, scholar- 

 ships at Michigan Agricultural College were awarded to winners of state 

 club championships. Several of these winners are now students at Michigan 

 Agricultural College. Scholarships to the 16 weeks' short course were 

 awarded to the all around club champion in each county in which organized 

 boys' and girls' club work was done. Several of these winners enrolled for 

 the short courses during the winter.

 introduction in a large way of improved crops varieties developed at the 

 Michigan Experiment Station. Efficient introduction is accomplished through 

 the Michigan Crop Improvement Association, an organization of farmers 

 who are interested in growing improved high yielding varieties. These 

 growers are provided with pure seed from the Experiment Station increase 

 fields, which is grown under a system of careful field and bin inspection, for 

 sale under certification. The Michigan Crop Improvement Association is 

 closely associated with the Farm Bureau seed department. 



This organized varietal distribution project has proven of great effective- 

 ness. Ninety per cent of the rye in the State of Michigan is Rosen, first dis- 

 tributed from the Experiment Station in 1912, or near Rosen, and for the first 

 time Michigan ranks first as a rye state. In six years' work the Robust bean
