BOYS' FARM CLUBS 



The small-grain crops may be emphasized to good advantage. 

 Club members in such sections can do some jSne demonstration 

 work with kafir, milo, and other corn substitutes, and in live 

 stock feeding. 



Toward the close of the second year, in most sections, 

 preparation should be made to plant the acre to corn again. 

 A club member who has followed this plan for two years will 

 know a great deal more about corn production and farming 

 in general than he did when he was a freshman in the work. 

 He will doubtless be able to make an excellent yield at a low 

 cost of production and the quality of his com should be greatly 

 improved. He will be better able to write a history of his 

 crop which will reveal his knowledge of the whole plan of 

 work which he has been following for three years. At the 

 close of the third year he may repeat his rotation if he expects 

 to remain in the club, but most of the boys will be going away 

 to high school or college after they have done three years' 

 work. It is recommended, therefore, that the boy prepare his 

 acre thoroughly and seed it to perennial clovers and grasses or 

 alfalfa. Such a course carefully followed and such a demon- 

 stration thoroughly done will make the club member a bene- 

 factor in his community even after he has left home to better 

 prepare himself for further service to his fellows. 



He has well merited a certificate of recognition, honor 

 and distinction from the highest officials of the college and 

 state. He is entitled to full membership in the "All Star 

 Club."
