That club leadership must be. increased properly to train the boys and
fclrls of the nation who decide to remain on farms and become the bulwark of
American agriculture 1? ahown In a survey of the club work of the Junior
farmers Just completed by Benjamin H. Darrow, director of the boys' and girls'
Hub work of the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foundation.
According to the report of the Foundation, based on a count by the De
partment of Agriculture, 722,408 projects were begnn In 1023 by 459,074 boys
and girls, a number which Is less than C per cent of the farm youth of the na
tion of club age. Of these projects 420,746 were completed by 249,416 club
member?. Girls completing their work outnumber the boys three to two, there
being 150,104 girls and 00 222 boys. The report also Indicates that 55.6 per cent
of the enrolled girls finished their projects, while only 52.0 per cent
of the boys completed theirs. The high point reached In 1018. as shown by the
accompanying chart, was dne to the expansion of club work In connection with
the slogan of the ??y: "Food will win the war." After the crisis wag over
there was retrenchment and club work suffered.
"Many of the 8,000,000 boys and girls engaged In club work hope to leave
the farm," said Darrow, "bat 80 per cent of them will remain In the conntry,
experience ha* shown. All who stay on the farm xhould have the benefit of
the Inspiration and training club work affords. If we are to provide thlw for
the Junior farmers of the nation, we sauat rapidly Increase the somber of cons'
ty dab leader?."
