FARM BUREAU NOTES Boys' and Girls' Agricultural Clubs Raymond Ellis, Assistant Farm Advisor We often hear inquiries as to what agricultural club work is, what good does it do and why does the government spend so much money on a thing which apparently returns them so little. In other states where this work has been carried on for years, these questions have already been answered, and in California the people are coming every day to see the wisdom of working with the younger generation for the general upbuilding of agriculture. The boys and girls of today are the farmers of tomorrow, and if those people who do not produce food are to live, then these prospective farmers must be encouraged. The youngsters are the most important crop grown and as such must be cared for to the best advantage. Club work not only offers the member a chance to learn something of agriculture under trained supervision, but also holds out the added allurements of a chance to make a little money through the raising of a crop or an animal, as well as the possibility of winning a prize while competing with other members who are doing the same thing. This competition always adds a great deal of interest to the work and causes the members to make a little extra effort to put out a better product at a lower cost. It has been the history of club work ever since its inception that those boys or girls who have really taken it seriously, have later become the leaders in their rural communities. Looked up to as people who really know their business, they have been selected to lead their neighbors in whatever activity or enterprise which might be entered upon. Therefore, if the club work or the club leader have influenced this farm boy or girl to any extent, and they probably have, then the government has been amply repaid for the time, money and effort expended. Boys and girls from about 10 to 14 years of age are the most desirable for club work. These prospective members are interviewed as to their interest in club work and the most promising are talked to concerning the type of club in which they are particularly interested. They are given a choice of several contests and as a selection is made, the member is signed up and his registration card sent to the College of Agriculture at Berkeley. When enough members have been secured, then a starting date is set and on the same day all members start the contest. A local leader should be secured in each district to visit the contestants in order to iron out any difficulties, inspect records and generally cheer on any lagging members. Each contestant is furnished with a record book and a supply of subject matter by the university. A record is kept of all time and money expended and also of any money which might be taken in. These records are used as a basis for judging the contests, consequently they must be absolutely accurate to the last detail if justice is to be done every member in the final reckoning. Subject matter advisors either from the farm advisor's office or the College of Agriculture, or some prominent local grower visit the contestants frequently in order to give pointers on proper raising of the crop or animal. Parents must give their consent before a member can enroll for club work, and that is where much of the trouble of organization is encountered. Not because the parents are opposed to the work, but because being unfamiliar with it, they are half-hearted in their consent and the boys and girls, as a consequence, become discouraged and fall by the wayside. If parents will only encourage and cheer on their children in their efforts, then the way will be smoothed considerably and the bene- It has been the history of club work ever since its inception that those boys or girls who have really taken it seriously, have later become the leaders in their rural communities.

Christie, head of the fruit products laboratory of the University of California, will report his tests on various makes and sizes of walnut dehydrators next Friday, October 16, according to announcement from Farm Advisor Wahlberg, whose department has arranged a grower's tour to inspect several dehydrators in the walnut belt. This will be the second annual tour sponsored by the agricultural extension service to lay before the growers of Orange county the best information available on this new method of curing walnuts. A survey just completed by the Walnut Growers' Association shows that artificial dehydration hasg rown by leaps and bounds during the past two years. There are some 15 or 16 plants now operating in Orange county. The tonnage being dehydrated this year will more than double last year's, making a total equal to about 25 to 30 per cent of the state's production. "This is an unusual record for a new departure in agricultural management," says Farm Advisor Wahlberg, "and no doubt the rainy weather of this season will encourage the installation of many new machines for next year." The Friday tour will start at the Mahury ranch, corner of Tustin and Fruit streets, between Santa Ana and Tustin, at 2 p.m. Other plan is to be visited during the afternoon include Charles Hallett, corner of Main and Lyon streets, Tustin; S. W. Stanley, Sixth and Clinton streets, Tustin, and C. E. Carter, Olive. These plants will range out to one-half ton capacity, that may be adapted to the average store. All growers are invited to join the tour. Orange County Club Boys to Visit Davis whom did good work in the poultry club. Accompanied by Assistant Farm Advisor Ellis, the boys will leave here by automobile Wednesday morning for Davis. A stop will be made the first night at Fresno, and the trip continued on Thursday. The first session of the convention will be held Thursday evening and sessions will then be held morning, afternoon and evening until Saturday noon. There will be stock judging and seed and plant identification contests for the boys and also tours of inspection of the experimental plots, prize-winning stock, and all the other things worth seeing on the university's wonderful farm. With all the features included, this trip should be of tremendous educational value to boys who are interested in agriculture. The convention will adjourn at noon on Saturday and the boys from this county should be home early Sunday evening. Rumania is going to send a commission to the United States to fund its $45,000,000 debt and then try to borrow $100,000,000 more. Wonder who put the rum in Rumania? Some husbands talk in their sleep because that is their only opportunity. Orange County Club Boys to Visit Davis Each year in October, the agricultural extension service of the University of California holds a convention of Agricultural Club members at the University Farm at Davis. Members who do outstanding work in club contests during the year are eligible to attend this convention, and some 1500 boys and girls from all over California go there as a reward for their good work. Orange county will be represented at the convention this year by five boys who have just completed the poultry and calf club contests. These boys, who have done exceptionally good work and will be rewarded as a consequence are Kenneth Hazard and Harry Rasse, both of Westminster, who were very close in the final judging of the calf club contest; and Archie Clark and Donald Schnitger of Garden Grove, and Noble Rennecker of Yorba Linda, all of The Pleasure of Wearing McCloskey’s Clothes We don’t urge you to buy a double-breasted—some men should, others should not.
