THE FARMERS' MONTHLY, JANUARY, 1928 



40 LOCAL CLUB LEADERS ARE ACTIVE THIS WINTER 



Forty-eight 4-H clubs are under way, or plans are being made to start them 

 this month, by forty different men and women or boys and girls. 



Of these, the clothing project takes the leading part with 24 organized groups, 

 with Handicraft second with 12 clubs. Six Poultry, five Food, one Home Deco- 

 ration and 1 mixed club make up the remainder of what is one of the largest num- 

 ber of organized groups ever oi-ganized in Hampshire County. 



At the time of this writing there are several possibilities that may be carried 

 through before the end of the month making an even larger enrollmnet. Just how 

 many boys and girls are in these clubs will not be known until the enrollment cards 

 are all sent to the county office but it is safe to estimate that it will equal that of 

 last year, which happened to be a record one for the Hampshire County. 



The leaders and the kind of club they are leading are as follows:
