A. Su.vre, has recently received
from state headquarters u tabulat
ed report of tho club work done in
this county during the; year, 1927.
The report It -very interesting, not
only to those who have a close con
nection with the work, but tu all
who are In anyway Interested in
farm work In this county, and na
turally, the work of trutnlng being
done for the younger people on
those farms.. The report shows
that Ibis past year was the biggest
year in club work In Union county,
and especially in the matter of
membership In the clubs, where
the increase over the year preced
ing 1H2G, was 45.
A detailed study of the report ofj
the different projects is quite Inter
esting. There were more pig clubs
In the county than In any other di
vision of livestock. Five clubrt en
rolled 44 members at the beginning
of the year, and of these a-little
over 50 per cent, or 23 completed
tho work of the year. Tho valuo
animals raised by these club mem
bers is given at $ 1K84.U0. with the
cost at $1742.18 showing u profit
of $242.42. ' v
Tho Hairy Calf club comes next,
being two In number ond liavlng
enrolled 20 members. One Inure
than half of theso also completed
the year's work or 11. The ani
mals cared for by these clubs real
ized a much better profit than the
pig club meilibers, fm- tho profit
was tho cost having been
$2170.U1 while Hie value was
placed at $2Xti&.?!l. r
Tho Heef Calf club was one of
the 100 per cent clubs last year, for
In tho one club working, the eight
members enrolled at the beginning
of the season completed tbclr
work. With a valuation of $I28K.20,
they showed a profit of $$T.S6.
There were two boys In the
county who started sheep projects,
although there wut no organized
club for this line. Only one of the
two completed Ill's work and he re
ports to ' have profited to the
j amount of $il.0!J on a valuation of
Poultry clubs were not so nu
merous last year, only two of them
operating. -However, the birds

were valued atMH.SS at the ond
of the year, thus showing u $24.75
profit.
In no line of club work save one,
was there us great a profit .shown
as in tho garden club, whore the
profit was little less than 100 per
cent. At a cost of $1 11.71, a profit
of $105. It 3 was realized, and this
club was ultiO one of tho 100 per
uent clubs.
There were 22 cookery, sewing
and iume-making clubs Included
In t he report which covered this
division, and eight of theso were
100 per cent, that is. all the, mem

Tho cookery clubs numbered
seven, with 45 starting the projects
and 23 completing them The work
which they did' was rated "I
$2211.12. of which $!2.3(J was given
