Their last name is Wagner an their first names are Paul and Alec1 The poultry club agent who supervisc their work does not state in his repoi whvat their middle names are, bu judging from their achievement H urtler would be eminently suitabl, icr in 1919 these two lads made a pr< fit of $547.79 on their back-yard pou try and squabs and won 27 first priz in the best shows in the State, in bot open and club classes. Paul and Almen belong to one; of t many poultry clubs which are organi ed by the United States Department < Agriculture and the State college Last year they started the season work with 60 standard1bred hens < three different breeds-White Lej horns, Barred Plymouth Rocks, an Rhode Island Rc,'s. The eggs an chickens which tie boys sold froi their flocks' during the year amouni ed to $593.74. As their expenses wei $296.22, a profit of $297.52 was left, One end of the pultry house in tl ,Wagner back yard is devoted 1 pigeons, of which Pail and Allen hav about 100 pairs. A flying pen outsi( allows the birds an opportunity fc outdoor flying and completes a pra< tical, inexpensive pigeon loft. Almof every week these club boys ship dres ed squabs to New York. In .1919 the 785 squabs, a number which, froi losing most of the young squabs hatel ed in January and February, is far b< low what they hope to sell in an o dinary year. The amount-received fc the squabs was $445.23. The cost c their feed was $194.96, leaving a profi for the boys of $250.27. Juveniile Poultry Clubs. Only in' comparatively recent year has poultry prodluction been recognis ed as ~othi a valuable national asst and a 'tery important part of the 01: erations of the farm. One of the in portant factors in bringing about thi realiziation of the importance of thi poultry industry is the establishmen of poultry clubs among the boys an girls. Just as5 poultry keeping wai formerly considered a minor branch farm work, so it was formerly though that the keeping of fowvls wvas purel an activity for adults. With the de velopment of other forms of agricul tural clubs among children it wa found that there was a very definit pilace for clubs having for their objec E THE IR RED SAnd all other iBOOT! SConstruc LAL CONTRA Main Office Columbia, S. S. E. PENTZ, Prop. ,ement and Fram< the production of poultry. In 1912 this project was formally lauinched by the United States Department of Agri culture in the State of Virginia. The poultry-club work was begun on e a very small and conservative scale, to see if it would be profitable and prac n tical. At the end of 1913 the'success Y of the work, as it was carrie:1 on in thrve counties in Virginia with 150 members, proved'that it hal wide pos 0 sibilities for effective results. The d project was not only 1highly practica . ble in accomplishing its principal ob s ject-interesting the boys and girls in Srural sections in raising poultry-but it demonstrated that the people in sec s, tions where the clubs were formed , realized the importance of the work. In 1919 there were 29,489 boys and girls engaged in poultry work in the s United States. From reports submit ted by over 12,000 of them it is shown that they raised 458,352 chicks to ma turity aid their flocks produced for them $493,719,36 in poultry and eggs. If When it is considered that this amount 3' of poultry products was produced by s less than one-half the number of mem f bers enrolled, it is reasonable to as sume that the poultry products pro d duced by all the club members in 1919 d amokinted to considerably over half a ) million dollars. e THE' ARMY VOINM e Clemson College, July 7.-Informa ' tion Card No. 2, "The Army Worm," e is the title of a brief timely publica e ion ssued by the Entomology Division i of the Extension Service of Clemson to meet the need for the Army Worm it outbreak.

Neither domestic ani mals or birds can get enough of tlie poison to injure them if sown as direct ed. Never place in heaps or scatter thickly. Keep out of reach of domes tic animals and children.

Arsenate of lead or arsenate of lime are ready for use when purchased-but may be di luted by mixing with airslaked lime equal parts. Instead pole and bag the hand or traction duster may be used. A pply the poison to small areas the most practical method is to (lust it through a cheese cloth bag attached to the end of a stick. On large areas the better method of application would be to use two sacks and pole carried on horse back This is made as follows: Take a strip of wood three inches wide, one inch thick and one foot long er than width of rows Six inches from 'each end bore a hole one inch in diame ter Make two sacks of eight ounce (luck six inches deep- an (ldtwenty in ches long and about the width of the strip of wood The open sides are tacked to the ends of the strip (call ed pole) and these can be filled with poison through the auger hole iin the ends of the pole. A funnel can b used to advantage. One man can poison about 20 acres per day with the bag and pole and mule method.
