And we are also convinced that next year’s budget ought to show in a great mgng cases considerable reductions from this year’s figures. In d u strial C lub W o rk From Smitli’s County Bulletin By E. R. Peterson, County Club Lender Boys and Girls’ industrial club work in Coos county this year is to be con ducted on s well arranged prog A n , according to plans that are being formulated. Arrangements have been made for a leader, who is to devote his entire time to this work in Coos eounty. At a conference county school superintendent, the county ag ricultural agent and the county club leader, held in Coquille last Monday, it was deemed advisable to limit the prujecta to certain definite lines of work. It was the consensus o f opin ion of those present that best results are obtained by concentrating upon a limited field. The projects chosen to be especially emphasised are the following: Potato growing Pig raising Poultry raising ' Calf raising Canning Food Preparation Sewing That each club organized shall de vote its efforts to only one project is a feature of tho plan.
