Those Youngsters below the Masoo-Dtron line raise good crops; also, they 'raise floe baby beeves mud standard p'rs. Their sheep are of accredited breeds; their poultry la of the better types; sad the gardens they cultivate are model gardens, many of them yielding very worth while prodace, cents the result of those boys* efforts annually mounts op In food supply It Is of incalculable value to the 15 South err states. But this Is only part of the story—a of the activities of those Southern lads, other port Is, or soould be, mo tarastlng, for it deals w.th Intangible commodities—character, Ugh Meals, educational aspirations, Jvic pride— evolved from and developed through the training received In boys' dobs. In Its effort to strengthen the agricultural extension organisation the United States department of agriculture dtea some instances to show the benefits of the boys' dub work in the

South.

Bonds and Bank Accounts. In Texas there are 1,000 boys receiving higher education—the direct result of dub membership. There are 20.000 club boys In that state who bought Liberty bonds. War Savings and Thrift stamps. The same number belong to the Bed Cross, and 2,000 have bank .ccoonta. Members of the boys' dubs <n Oklahoma, over TSjOOO, own war eecurlUea amounting to B11Z818. Their bank deposits total ffit£3L88. Also West Virginia has L500 club members who have bank accounts. Many own lands and several hundred are In colleges. Arkansas has a record of hundreds of former boys' dub members who are In college, and what is more to their credit, paying their tuition with money earned from the sale of of their agricultural product.' and prizes won In agricultural contests. A number of the Southern dubs have developed college professors, instructors in agricultural schools—men who learned the edentlflc method of farming and gained their experience In boys' dobs. Many dub members are In the military service. "We have hundreds of dub member* that are officers In the United States army." writes a Mississippi state rgent. Nor have modern business methods been overlooked by those young husbandmen. In some of the states co-opera-tive buying, selling and marketing Is the regular practice of boys* dab members, and the use of hanking fsem-

banking, by the way, where the character mid industry of the borrower* form the major port of the security, in this connection the testimony of the president d a bank In Mississippi Is corroborative. Says he: "So far as my information goes, there la not a single piece of bad paper in the state as a result of loons to dub boys.** These Instances are taken at random. The Influence dub boys exert upon thdr fathers end upon the farmers In their neighborhoods Is very marked, state and county agents say. It Is the kind of influence that, through practical demonstration, turns skeptics into convert*; that makes progressive formers out of ‘‘the-oid-wsy-ls-good-

ised production, stimulation In every line of agricultural endeavor for the Immediate and continued prosperity of thclr section is one of the Important functions of boy*' dub work In the South. TYxl* is being accomplished by instruction and demonstration In correct agricultural methods by the extension service of the United States department of agriculture and the state agricultural colleges. And It Is being done In the only way possible—through the organized efforts of the very boys who are to develop Into progressive farmer* and become the substantial producers of the future. However, quite as Important a function of this work Is the all-round dent of the boys themselves. Orest stress Is laid upon this. Through the agency of these boys' dubs, the members are taught habits of thrift and industry. They are shown the res! value of high character, the advantages of education, the possibilities of leadership, the dignity of labor, the Importance of co-opcratlon in dvic affairs and respect for others’ rights.
