Arrangements should be made to hold one or two local 

 meetings of club members each month during the year, at which 

 time a special program of recitations, music, debates, discus- 

 sions, conferences, etc., can be arranged. 



CLUB PROJECTS. 



The few club projects to be undertaken in any county or 

 State should be determined very largely by the following: 



1. The kind of club work that would be best adapted to 

 the locality and will give at the same time the best returns for 

 time, money and energy invested. 



2. The interest and cultural value possible to the club mem- 

 ber through a particular club activity. 



3. The character and peculiar needs of the club members to 

 be enlisted in the work. 



4. Before selecting a club project it is important to deter- 

 mine whether there will be a market for the products so as to 

 make the work profitable, and also if the demonstrations as con- 

 ducted by the club members will have the effect of introducing 

 into the State or community the best things for agriculture and 

 the home interest. 



The following list of club projects will offer an interesting 

 and wide selection for the entire United States: 



The home garden and canning clubs. 



The canning and marketing clubs. 



Corn clubs. 



Potato clubs. 



Good roads clubs. 



Baby beef clubs. 



Pig clubs. 



Poultry clubs. 



Apple clubs. 



Alfalfa clubs. 



Wheat and bread clubs. 



Back yard clubs. 



Sugar beet clubs. 



Market garden clubs. 

 The governing principle in the selection of the club project 

 should be its ultimate relation to good farm and home practice.
