g COMMUNITY CLUBS FOR JUNIOR
in FARMERS.
rp
it Clemson College, May 9.-The or.
m ganization and operation of com'
3s munity clubs among the club boys of
s- the state is one of the long forward
Is steps in club work, says Director W.
5 W. Long of the Extension Servicq,
h who thinks that there is big promise
it in the community plan in that it
e makes possible the handling of a
e 111aximum number of club members
h. with a minimum expenditure of ef
v forts, develops greater enthusiasm
f among the boys, creates much friend
t ly rivalry, furnis;hes an opportunity
I for social recreation and, best of a'l,
- serves as a foumidtion for the de
velopment of the co-operative :spirit
a1mong the fit uire farmers.
A beginin' had been made pre
vious to 1921 inl community organi
zations among tlle club boy;, but the
matter is being: pushid vigorously
this year by the supervising agent of
club work, L. L. Laker and by his
assistant. 1. U. Williams, who is
spendingr much of his time helping
county agent's with the organization
andu conduct of community clubs.
The general plan is that there should
b it club in every school llistribt
where there are as mamiy as. eight
club 1embiers. The elub should elect
a set of oflicers--president, vice
prsdnsecretary--with well de
lined duties, and should meet once a
month .with the county agent .for in
structions, discussions of a regular
program, roe reation,. etc.
The development of t :am work and
the training for leader..lip are alone
more than sultielent gains from com
munity clubs, thinlks Mrl. Willian.,
even, if the county a:gents and boy'
club specialiste did not mind it. the
mott practicable. ed'ctive, and t: me
saving method of handling inrge num.
bers. No time should b- lost now in
the organi,:ing of club- in those Com.
munities where evenii : handful 01
elub muembers can be totten to.
PO)INTERS FOR SUCCESSFUL.
HOG PRODUCTION.
Clem- on Colleg:e, A pril 29.-Uelou
are some points in hog rioductton,
which are often neglected, but whiel
if carefully ittetndtel to will adt
reatly to the profits.
i. Castrate all boar pigs while they
ar.c young. They suffer less. from the
operation, fatten faster, and make
r more desirable market hogs.
t 2. Keep hogs free from lice by
using crude oil. A post wrapped
with a burlap sack and saturated
with, oil makes a satisfactory hog
Ioiler.
3. Kee a mineral mixture of
charcoal or slack coal 1 bushel, wood
ashes 1 bushel, air-slacked lime 4
1plonnd)s, salt 41 poundst, copperas 1 I -4
poundts, before your~ hogs at all t imes.
The copperas is dissolved in a ciuart
of water' anti poured over~ th other
ngredlients titer they ate mixe'd.
''Tai mix:tur ie helps to keelp downi
