 members of the club should arrange to grow from one to 

 five acres, studying carefully the system of "follow-up" 

 instruction provicfed by the leaders of such clubs in the 

 county and state, and keeping a complete record of all ob- 

 servations, receipts and expenditures. 



The girls can grow a small plat, of not less than one 

 square rod, with a view to studying the life history of the 

 plant, its cultural methods, milling processes and its use for 

 food products. In connection with domestic-science work, 

 the girls can prepare for exhibit purposes the various dishes 

 possible from oafs and bake a loaf of wheat bread for the 

 school exhibit each month. This makes an interesting dem- 

 onstration for Friday afternoon programs.
