According to County School Super In ten dent Crites, interest in the com ing annual county school fair is keen er than on any former year since the fairs were inaugurated in 1911, when C. D. Thompsou was couuty school Huuperlntendent here. The exhibits, which will fill the new gymnasium at the high school will be more exten sive and varied than on any former year. Club members in all parts of the valley have spent the summer en gaged on their projects and some of their displays. It 1» said, will be worthy of emulation by adults of the com munity. Mr. Crites urges that business folk of the city take more interest in the fair this year than on former years. He asks that all make it a point to visit the new school, inspect the class rooms and see the noteworthy exhib its of the children. The growth of Industrial school clubs in America has been interesting. Ahont thirty years ago Will B. Ot well of Maeowpln county, III., was ter ribly dlsconraged liecauHe the farmers of his county wouldn't take any Inter ret in the farmer's institute. After two failures to draw a crowd he offer ed, in 1899, to supply one ounce of high grade seed corn to any boy or girl who would agree to plant It and make an exhibit at Institute after har vest About five hundred packages of seed corn were given out and when in stitute opened that fall, five hundred farmers were present and nearly that many boys and girls were there with their promised display. Th* problem of the institute was solved but no one saw the beginning of the greatest farm factor ever known. The fame of Mr. Otwell and his corn conteet spread. He was made director of the Illinois exhibit for the Louisi ana Purchase Ex|>ositlon and he was determined that the boy corn growers should make the agricultural display; and no one thousand boya each gave ten prise ears which went into a b»^ pyramid of corn at BL Louia to Trau»portaUon Co., here yesterday from Portland, annouucod that the steamer Beaver will begin a Port|fiMW|foaitWri'<.f' er run, handting freight 6 #' ger«, next Monday.

The boll was s serious menace to cotton growers and a guv cm ment expert was «ent into the south ern states in '1908 to study the situa tion. A plan wan developed which pro vided for better tillage, rotation in crops, and the production of home grown food and feed. Oom «eemed the logical thing'to experiment with, but there was a general belief in many see- ttona that a aatisfoctory yield of corn could not be obtained In typical south ern »oU. Farmers with thee* ideas hes itated; ti»ey were not willing to give their time for demonstrations but cou ncil t was obtained for tlieir children to be allowed to try- And s* under the direction of the county superintendent of schools In Holmes County, Mias, help for the farmer was begun at the moat teachable point—the child. These trials were so successful that systematic effort was soon made to organised dub work with corn in se lected counties to each of th* south ern states. Public spirited citizen« were quick to see the value of thia new plan and quick to co-operate by offering suit able rewards for special accomplish ments. Great emphasis was placed up on yield as this had l>een the doubtful question and over two thousand boys raised more than one hundred bushels to th* acre; twenty-seven of whom went beyoDd two hundred bushel*. A South Carolina boy made the record of two hundred twenty-eight bushels in 1910 and I three years later surrendered thia chai impionship to a two hundred "i thirty-two bushel record from Alabama. The home problem —woman'» »Ide of country life—alao needed help, and money making idea« for girl» were organized In poultry and canning duba. Tomato and pimento plant, «•re given out in the spring and great quantities ware rained and can ned by the girl», for they were enthusi astic and willing to work, but there wan no government fund to carry on ? tbeae experiment». Congress soon met this need for in July 1914 the Smlth laner Act became effective, whereby the U. 8. Depart ment of Agriculture and the land grant colleges are charged with the task of teaching improved practice, end stand ards in agriculaure and home econom ics to rural people. And once again it was recognized that the moat teach- able point is the child and so boy» and girls 4-II duba ware organized thru the United Htatea. Thia 1» what our O. A.

Because there arc four necessary lines of training of every boy and girl to insure success in dub undertakings or any <>f her kind of work : ■ Head, heart health and hands. The mind, or head, must be train ed to think, plan and reason. The heart to -be kindly anti sympa thetic toward the work and toward associates so that all may work to gether. < The health must be improved and kept good for efficiency and enjoy ment. And the hands mas be trained to be skillful. O. A. C. outlines nearly fifty dif ferent courses through which we may train our boys and girls.
