The stand- 

 ardization of 

 club work was 



undertaken by 

 the United 

 States Depart- 

 ment of Agricul- 

 ture in 1915. It 

 was thought de- 

 sirable to or- 

 ganize club 

 members in 

 groups, to be 

 supervised by 

 local leaders. In 

 1918 an agree- 

 ment was made between the United States Department of 

 Agriculture and the several state club leaders, to provide 

 for standard clubs, and as a result of this conference the fol- 

 lowing organization requirements were adopted.
