F. L. Ballard, vice-director of extension in Ore gon, served for several years on a national committee of the land grant colleges which made an extensive study of the needs of this age group. Since that time the activities in this field in Oregon have been as signed to J. R. Beck, rural service specialist in the extension service, whose report of a survey of rural youth conditions in this state was the subject of previous articles in this series. His report showed that there are approximately 35,000 to 40,000 un married rural young men and wo men in Oregon between the ages of 16 and 25. Most of these have passed the active period of 4-H club par ticipation and have yet to find their place in established adult rural or-ganizatiins. The first organized enort to meet this situation in Oregon was started in Union county about two years ago bv County Agent Harry Avery. Un der his sponsorship there was form ed a group which adopted the name of "The South Forty club." The group consists of about 25 active members between the ages of 18 and 30 years. It is restricted to boys, al though a sort of "women's auxiliary," composed of girls of corresponding ages, frequently joins the boys in social affairs. This particular club does not bar married young people. Semi-monthly meetings are held, about three consisting of discussion programs to one of a social nature. In the discussion meetings costs of production, marketing, transporta tion farm finance and various angles of crop production have been includ ed regularly. Organizations having a similar purpose but with an entirely differ ent setup have been formed in sev eral other counties. Miss Ruth Harlan, daughter of the late L. K.
