BOYS' AND GIRLS' AGRICULTURAL CLUB MORE IN SOIL OF CALIFORNIA THAN FARMERS HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF IT PRACTICAL STUDY WILL ASSIST YOUTH IN EDUCATION IN THE SCHOOLS Boys' and girls' agricultural clubs are organizations of young people who agree to study together about agriculture and domestic arts, make gardens for home and school, and try experiments for the improvement of the crops they grow. The chief purposes of these clubs are briefly as follows: 1. To afford the teacher a simple and easy method of teaching practical agriculture and domestic arts in the best possible way, namely, by actual work in growing plants, rearing animals, or preparing articles of food or clothing. 2. To show that there is more in the soil than the farmer has gotten out of it; to inspire boys with a love of the land by showing them how they can get wealth out of it and thus be helpful to the family and the neighborhood; to inspire girls with an appreciation of domestic arts by helping them to discover what they themselves can do in bettering their surroundings. 3. To give both girls and boys a definite, worthy purpose and to stimulate friendly rivalry among them. Nearly all the great agricultural states of the middle west have had successful experience with boys' and girls' agricultural clubs. Most states from squab raising, rabbit raising, bee keeping, rose culture, chrysanthemum growing, etc., etc. But, for the present, the College of Agriculture does not agree to furnish special circulars of instruction upon topics other than those listed above. A club may consist of only five members. Hence there may be a club in any school. But numbers lend enthusiasm and it is hoped that school superintendents will encourage the formation of county or city clubs on the representative basis, have officers and an advisory committee. With such an organization county or city exhibits can be arranged and county awards offered either to local clubs collectively or to individuals. This plan is working successfully in other states. A school or a town or a group of schools or towns through their clubs should hold exhibitions. They will display the products grown or articles cooked, sewed, or canned. Certificates and badges should be awarded to all who do well. Two grades or standards of excellence may be recognized by both certificates and badges, for those achieving first grade and only the certificates for those attaining second grade. Individual prizes of money are not to be encouraged. The work well done will bring adequate returns. Some suitable award to the club collectively for the largest number of individual certificates secured will promote good team work and community interest. At the same time such individual award as a trip to a county or district fair, to the state fair, an agricultural experiment station or farm, or a polytechnic school will serve both to educate the winner and as a proper incentive to individual effort. Each club may formulate its own plans and rules. When several clubs engage in a joint contest a committee should arrange the rules. Here are some suggestions: 1. Only members may engage in the contests. 2. Each member is allowed to make only one exhibit entry in a contest. Whether an each contestant plebeate report up or animal raise When no exhibition of certificates is based on these reasons Conditions Goes 1. The best hatched by a male contestant. 2. Number of entries. 3. Number of votes. 4. Date of hail. 5. Variety of certificates. 6. How cared until contest is over. 7. What kind of chicken. 9. Time spent the poultry. 10. Kind of prize (Give full description). 11. How often cleaned? 12. Date first competition. 13. Age of chair. 14. Total number of entries. 15. Average score. 16. Cost of food. 17. Amount required or value of eggs. 18. Each fowl band and a record. 19. Number of entries not less than 50 each contest. 20. Contest date 1912, and end November 21. In case excludes one member's participation in conditions goes 1. Each contestant written report count of the cattle pig from birth. 2. Any type of certificate. 3. If at any time full account of it any unnatural growth and development occurs. land by showing them how they can get wealth out of it and thus be helpful to the family and the neighborhood; to inspire girls with an appreciation of domestic arts by helping them to discover what they themselves can do in bettering their surroundings. 3. To give both girls and boys a definite, worthy purpose and to stimulate friendly rivalry among them. Nearly all the great agricultural states of the middle west have had successful experience with boys' and girls' agricultural clubs. Most states from Maine to Louisiana and from Florida to Oregon have had some of these clubs and in some states many thousands of young people belong to them. We want thousands of California boys and girls to join these clubs. 1. The principal, special supervisor or school superintendent will probably be glad to arrange a meeting and help in the work of organizing. 2. The teacher will be glad to be a learner with the members while she leads in making plans for study, contests and exhibitions. The teacher should not hesitate to interest herself in the activity which is of most interest to the pupils even though she may know very little about it. She should frankly become a learner with the club members, using her best judgment in guiding their club work after advising with the most reliable friends of the school. 3. The local grange, farmers' union, farmers' club, chamber of commerce, or board of trade will probably co-operate in every way possible. 4. The city and county superintendents of schools will be furnished with special circulars on agricultural club contests by the college of agriculture. Apply to your nearest superintendent for these. 5. The instructors in agriculture in the normal schools, farm schools and high schools will doubtless give all possible assistance. 6. The College of Agriculture of the University of California will answer any inquiries sent there. Address Dean of College of Agriculture, Berkeley, California. 7. The Secretary of Agriculture, Washington, D.C., will send, free of cost, valuable pamphlets, farmers' bulletins, etc., that will instruct the members on almost any line of study they may undertake. Clubs should choose topics which are of interest to the greatest number. When the girls are more interested in things pertaining to home making than in growing crops or raising animals, they may organize separately for study of cooking, sewing, etc. The boys, on the other hand, may wish to study Each club may formulate its own plans and rules. When several clubs engage in a joint contest a committee should arrange the rules. Here are some suggestions: 1. Only members may engage in the contests. 2. Each member is allowed to make only one exhibit entry in a contest. 3. Each contestant must be between the ages of 10 and 16. (The age limits may be changed if thought advisable.) 4. Each contestant for the certificate of award must prepare the soil, test seed, plant, cultivate and harvest crop, all without assistance, except that when plowing, spading, hauling, weighing, etc., is too heavy work for the contestant, he may have assistance, but shall direct the work. 5. Each contestant must study the score card or circulars recommended to him. 6. Each contestant must carefully fill the blank on "How the Crop was Grown," or similar report. 7. Each contestant's report must be endorsed by his parent or guardian and countersigned by his teacher. 8. All exhibits are to be the property of contestants at the close of the exhibit unless the advisory committee rules otherwise. (They may be sold at auction to meet expenses of exhibit if necessary.) The teacher or another interested party should call a meeting of the boys and girls. Ask the principal or superintendent or some friend to be present and help organize. Each club will choose its own constitution, which should be simple. Members present at time of adoption may sign it as charter members, and other members should be elected as provided in the constitution. The following outline may help in writing the constitution of a club. Outline of Constitution Article I.—Name, of club. Article II.—Object of club. Article III.—Membership (including badge or button and a provision for honorary membership if desired.) Article IV.—Officers. A president, one vice-president from each school, when two or more schools compose the same club, and an advisory committee consisting of persons in the community or elsewhere who will aid in promoting the interests of the club. The principal or a teacher may well serve as chairman of the advisory committee. Article V.—Duties of members. (As 7. The Secretary of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., will send, free of cost, valuable pamphlets, farmers' bulletins, etc., that will instruct the members on almost any line of study they may undertake. Clubs should choose topics which are of interest to the greatest number. When the girls are more interested in things pertaining to home making than in growing crops or raising animals, they may organize separately for study of cooking, sewing, etc. The boys, on the other hand, may wish to study some particular crop, such as potatoes, wheat, corn or cotton. But many clubs will consist of both boys and girls who are interested in raising sweet peas, trees or poultry, or making butter. All these lines of study may lead up to contests and exhibitions. On account of the wide diversity of interests it has been thought wise to plan a series of contests suitable for any of the various clubs above mentioned. Suggestions for organizing agricultural club contests. Following are the contests proposed for 1912-13: Class A. For boys. 1. Crop growing—potatoes, wheat, corn, lima beans, sugar beets, cotton. 2. Hog raising. Class B. For girls. 1. Cooking. 2. Sewing. 3. Canning. Class C. For boys and girls. 1. Sweet pea growing. 2. Poultry raising. 3. Butter making. 4. Tree growing. Besides the above subjects for study and contests, clubs may choose from a large variety of other topics, such as Article II.—Object of club. Article III.—Membership (including badge or button and a provision for honorary membership if desired.) Article IV.—Officers. A president, one vice-president from each school, when two or more schools compose the same club, and an advisory committee consisting of persons in the community or elsewhere who will aid in promoting the interests of the club. The principal or a teacher may well serve as chairman of the advisory committee. Article V.—Duties of members. (As prescribed in the rules for contests.) Article VI.—Duties of Officers. (Defined as usual in such organizations.) In addition it shall be the duty of the secretary to report at least once each year to the county or city superintendent of schools. The advisory committee shall arrange for all public contests and exhibits, the procuring and awarding of certificates, the sending of letters and circulars of information, the general meetings of the club, and reporting of statistics and other information to the public. After the constitution has been adopted and officers elected the next step will be to select the first work to be undertaken. In this the advisory committee will be ready to help. If the club is started in the winter months a study of some kind should begin. This should lead to something definite in the work to be done in spring and summer. Some of the special circulars will suggest references for study. After actual work has been decided on there should be definite rules for the conduct of any contest that may be proposed. These should be prepared by the advisory ANAHEIM GAZETTE COUNTIES WILL INSTALL MANY EXHIBITS RECOURCES OF CALIFORNIA TO BE SHOWN AT SAN DIEGO EXPOSITION ALL SECTIONS ACTIVE IN MAKING PREPARATIONS FOR FAIR IN 1915 California will have the greatest community exhibit at the San Diego exposition ever shown by the state, if plans now being made by the counties of the state are carried out. This exhibit will embrace every county in the state and practically every district in each county, and will be installed by the counties themselves under the supervision of the county supervisors, who are empowered to exhibit the resources of the county by an act allowing them to segregate from county funds six cents on each $100 of assessed valuation. To carry out this huge plan, the counties have organized themselves into groups taking geographical lines and climatological similarity for the basis of division. Thus, the Sacramento Valley counties are in one group of 12 counties; the counties north of San Francisco bay in a group of eight; the counties south of Lake Tahoe and east of the Sierra Nevada mountains in one group of three; those south of San Francisco bay along the coast in one group of six; those south of the Tehachapi in one group of eight and the San Joaquin Valley group in process of organization. The Sacramento Valley Association is composed of Solano, Yolo, Eldorado, Placer, Sutter, Yuba, Colusa, Glenn, TEACHERS' INSTITUTE DEC. 16 County Superintendent of Schools Has Issued Bulletin of Interest County Superintendent of Schools R. P. Mitchell has recently issued a bulletin of interest to school teachers, trustees and parents from which we take the following: The Orange County Teachers' Institute will be held in the Santa Ana High School building during the first three days of the week beginning December 16th, and in Los Angeles in connection with the Southern California Teachers' Association the remainder of the week. Dr. Henry Suzzelo, Arthur H. Chamberlain, Prof. Zaner and Prof. Cubberley will be the principal lecturers. The program has not been definitely arranged so if you happen to have some live wire in mind let me hear from you. The institute will be divided into a large number of sections in order that everyone will be benefited by the session. There will probably be a high school section, a grammar grade section, a section for the third and fourth grade teachers and one for the first and second grade teachers. The teachers of the one-room schools will meet by themselves. The annual school exhibit will be held during the institute in the Commercial High School. Any work done this year may be exhibited. The work of the pupils in manual training, drawing, writing, arithmetic, geography, language, agriculture, literature, history or spelling would be beneficial. The name of the school and the grade of the pupils should be given. Let me know how much space your school will need and it will be reserved for you. The Orange County Teachers' Library is as the name indicates for the teachers. Books will be mailed upon request to any teacher. A printed list of the professional books may be had for the asking. If you should be in Santa Ana at any time with a few moments to spare, come to the office and look over the books and magazines. They belong to you. Part of the two dollar fee which you handed over the Historic New Mexico Edifice to Be Reproduced at San Diego Fair San Diego has the oldest mission in California built by Padre Junipero Serra in 1769, but New Mexico possesses the oldest structure of this character in the United States at Pecos Pueblo, constructed about 1629. An exact replica of this old mission church will be built at the San Diego exposition in 1915 as the New Mexico building. The main body of the church will be used as an assembly room where moving pictures will illustrate the varied resources of the state, and an archaeological exhibit will show the importance of New Mexico as a field for scientific research. Thousands of tiny rose bushes are growing in the nurseries of the Panama-California exposition at San Diego in the competition for a $1,000 prize offered by the exposition for the best new rose. Horticulturists are awaiting the results of the competition with much interest. The recent automobile road race between San Diego and Phoenix demonstrated the good points claimed for the contest to begin December 1, 1912, and end November 30, 1913. In case exhibit is made it should consist of one male and four females. Conditions Governing Hog Contest 1. Each contestant must submit a written report giving a detailed account of the care and feeding of the pig from birth. 2. Any type of pig may be raised. 3. If at any time the pig is sick give full account of its illness, together with any unnatural conditions during its growth and development. 4. Describe the housing of the pig. 5. All reports must be submitted to the superintendent, who will select the contestants and request them to bring their pigs to the contest, or the judges may visit and score each pig, announcing the prize winners later. 6. At the time of the contest the pig must be between 3 and 8 months old. 7. The prizes will be given on the merits of the animal showing the best form and finish, and for market condition. Sow and Litter Contest The rules governing the sow and litter contest will be the same as the first five of the single pig contest. The ages of the pigs to be between one and three months old. The prizes should be given for the best sow and litter as regards size of litter, health, thrift and uniformity of pigs. Care of the sow 10 days before farrowing.

The Michigan State Society of San Diego have prepared designs for a most unique building for Michigan at the exposition in 1915. The design is that of a mammoth automobile which will be perfect in every detail with search lights, illuminated wheels in motion and a body of such size that the state exhibit may be installed within. The cost will be about $100,000. The exhibit of cotton and cotton products at the San Diego exposition in 1915 will be a revelation to visitors from the south who will be surprised to see what can be done in the Imperial Valley and the Southwest in raising long fiber cotton of superior quality on what was once shifting sands. Irrigation has solved the problem. J. N. Anderson, J. B. Rea and Fred Rimpau have appraised the estate of Clara A. Simpson, deceased, at $6,500. Gazette—Anaheim's want ad medium Practically every county supervisor in the state is keenly alive to the necessity for his county to be represented at San Diego, and they have taken time by the forelock in preparation for this exhibit. They hold that the counties of California will be able in 1915 to present their opportunities and resources to a larger number of people than in all the years that have preceded it, and it is for this reason that they have been so active in making ample preparation at this time. Nearly every county desires a plantation, taking advantage of the fact that there is plenty of space available for them at San Diego to do this. They also contend that by reason of the fact that the San Diego exposition will not be such a colossal affair as that at San Francisco, their exhibits naturally will stand out better and receive more attention than anything they can do at the great international show at San Francisco in competition with foreign countries. Most of the counties will start their work of preparation this winter, and by the middle of next year practically all the plantations will be completed, the buildings to be finished before the 1st of January, 1914, where possible. They will form one entire section of the exposition and will be the most spectacular exhibit of the industrial and agricultural possibilities of California ever shown. Will Llewellyn is enjoying a fortnight's vacation from his duties in the postoffice and contemplates taking a motorcycle trip to San Diego and points in Old Mexico. He expects to leave the latter part of the week. On account of the lack of uniformity in the prices charged by dealers for school supplies, the convention thought best to have a committee appointed to receive bids from dealers and to have copies of the lowest bid printed and distributed to the clerks of the various school boards of the county. The clerks when purchasing supplies are not to pay more than the prices quoted on the list. Some of the teachers of the county have acquired the habit of giving their schools a write up in their local papers occasionally. This seems to be a step in the right direction. The newspapers, the teachers, the parents and the pupils are benefited by this. The newspapers are glad to have the news and it is through them that the parents may be informed as to the character of the work being done in the school and of the teacher's ideas. Everybody in the district may be reached by this means. Among those who are at present using this plan are A. E. Paine of the Huntington Beach High School and C. C. Smith, principal of the Huntington Beach grammar school. W. E. Smith, principal of the Ocean View school, has resigned on account of poor health. John T. Bowles has been elected to fill the vacancy.
