VOLUME 34; NUMBER 26
By D. H. 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. The Blaine dis
trict will have a calf club this year
