ELEMENTARY AGRICULTURE 
In counties where there are both men and women 
agents, it is advisable to form one organization for boys 
and girls. This plan is preferred where the local agents 
think it advisable. Since the boys’ work is more closely 
connected with agriculture and field work than with can¬ 
ning, drying, and breadmaking, it will usually be satis¬ 
factory to have a general meeting for about an hour, 
then divide the forces so instruction can be given for each 
individual club. Where it is found advisable to form 
separate organizations for both boys and girls, the plans 
suggested in this chapter may be changed to meet local 
conditions.

Membership and Duties of Officers.—The member¬ 
ship consists of boys and girls from ten to eighteen years 
of age who have made out official enrollment cards. Boys 
must agree to cultivate one acre or more of farm crops or 
grow livestock, according to the instructions of the 
county demonstration agent. Girls must agree to culti¬ 
vate one-tenth acre garden, raise chickens or bake better 
bread, according to instruction given by home demon¬ 
stration agent or supervisor. 
The officers of each local club shall consist of president, 
vice president, secretary and supervisor.
