Kennedy Club Leader Organization of calf, garden and poultry clubs has been the work for the month and also follow up work of Home Economics clubs with the aid of Miss Helen Cowgill, assistant state club leader. The Calf club projects are progres sing nicely, especially the Guernsey and Holstein clubs. These clubs will have a strong enrollment this year and with the support of the County Cattle association will probably make a much better showing than last year. The Guernsey club selected Mrs. Phillip Buslack as leader of the club and the cattle club voted 925 to be given in cash prizes for the County Fair to Guernsey club winners. Mr. Ira Lance, president of the Guernsey Cattle club is offering 910 special prizes on a showing contest open to Guernsey club members exhibiting at the County Fair. The Tillamook Holstein association voted at least 850 for the County Fair to be given in prizes for boys and girls club members exhibiting Hols tein calves and are pushing the work with vigor. They have also offered a special prize of $15 for a showing contest in which the members’ ability to handle- the calf and the condition of the calf is judged rather than the type. The members of the Tillamook Holstein Calf club elected Mrs. Hans Hansen as local leader and the Neha lem Holstein Calf club has chosen An drew Lagler to act as local leader. The Pleasant Valley Jersey Calf club has been organized and selected Mr. Albert Johnson to act as local leader. This is a new club just or ganized this year but is making a very strong start. The Tillamook Jersey Calf club has not been able to get together this year but it is hop ed that they will elect officers and outline their program as soon as pos sible. Many of the last year's mem bers have signed up and are carry ing on the work but have not been able to get together.
