assemble these reports and records, together with selected pictures, 
and fasten them within heavy covers as the " booklet" or the final 
project report. See forms pages 30-32. 
ORGAXIZED CLUB PROJECTS. 
The State agent in charge of club work at the State agricultural 
college will cooperate with the local teacher in the organization of 
poultry clubs and will usually help to arrange for the supervision of 
home work, which is the most difficult problem in practical agricul- 
tural instruction. Farmers' Bulletin 562 is devoted to this subject. 
New poultry clubs are usually organized about January 1, but the 
pupils should not postpone all home work until that time. 
School credit for the home project should preferably be given as a 
part of the rank for the course in poultry. In such a case the 
home project becomes fundamental and the school lessons a means 
toward accomplishing the practical end, so that the rank and credit 
are given on the work as a whole. The weight given to this credit is 
not to be in proportion to the number of fowls kept, but, assuming 
that enough are kept to make the work worth while, in proportion 
to the phases of poultry management developed and the application 
of principles learned. The subject of school credit for home practice 
in agriculture is developed in United States Department of Agriculture 
Bulletin 385. 
CHARTS AND CHART MAKING. 
Most of the illustrations in this bulletin are chosen with a view to 
showing teachers how to provide charts, models, and other illustrative 
material as well as how to illustrate poultry topics. Large sheets of 
manila paper or cloth charts may be used. Lettered charts, such 
as figures 1 and 2, may be used to emphasize certain principles. 
District surveys maybe arranged on chart forms such as those given 
on page 25, but should also be put on a copy of the district map as 
is suggested in the census map in figure 3. Do similar work for other 
animals and crops. 
Relative gams and losses, total productions, and other results may 
be charted by the graphic method shown in figure 10 (p. 17), espe- 
cially where the fluctuations during a period of time are not taken 
into account. Fluctuations may best be shown on a vertical chart 
as in figure 7 (p. 13). Have the pupils practice first in charting the 
rise and fall of the daily temperature and then make graphic records 
of the laving of their home flocks. This will enable them to interpret 
such charts as figure 8 which shows the effect of animal feed in the 
ration. 
Pictures selected to show contrasts may be cut out of farm papers 
and mounted as in figure 4. In some cases it may be desired to con- 
trast two varieties of fowls which are somewhat alike.
