The rural school teachers of the county 4re urged to assist in the work of interestIng and enrolling the boys in, the Corn Ji Qlubwork.

Following the organization of the Boy's Corn Club, we desire to organize a Boy's Pig Club so r< that every boy who can grow an acre of p; com shall have a pig to feed, at least, some of the products to and thus demctatrate the advantage of having more hog and hominy. b' Big things are in store for the boy who L 4ntna fhA Hnrn f!ltih t.hla oAAAnD.
