Expenditure of Appropriation available through the 

 State Board of Agriculture. 

 The following will show the manner in which the $2,000 

 available through the State Board of Agriculture is expended : — 



1. A part is used as premiums at the midwinter exhibit of 

 the State Board of Agriculture. 



2. To purchase club pins. 



3. Premiums, as follows: — 



First Prize. — One in each project, trip to Washington. 

 Second Prize. — One in each project. New England trip. 

 Third Prize. — Seven in each project, week at Massachusetts Agri- 

 cultural College camp. 



Fourth Prize. — Sixteen in each project, value $1 (usually a book). 



Membership Requirements. 



To be a full-fledged club member and eligible for one of 

 the above prizes a young person must first enroll; second, 

 carry the work to completion; third, keep accurate records; 

 and fourth, write a story. 



A club pin is awarded to all who do this. Many, however, 

 comply with the first two requirements, but fail on the last 

 two. No small number comply with the first three, but fail 

 on the fourth. This year especially, with the large amount of 

 emphasis placed upon producing food, the first two items were 

 given more attention than the last two by all the field workers.
