This outline of the pieeent plans and standing of the cinb is offered in the hopes of In¬ teresting more members. Any boy or girl ketwoen the ages of It and to, s^o has a genuine interest in farming, whether he lives in town or' in the aountry aad whether he is in •ckoot or not.

Drastic sctlons should be taken to put a stop to this work, espaetally In the case of visiting teams coming to Flora. They are here as guests and should be trested as such. Other teams are apt to refuse to come to Flora, fearing a repetition of these events, so the officials should nuke every move to capture tka oftaadar and if caught to tmpoae a heavy fine upon him.
