Dear Club Member:
If you have sot already received
the premium list or thla year'* con-
teat at the state fair you will receive
It soon.
You will also receive in a few day*
a report blank to fill out. Please fill
out this report blank and mall to me
at soon aa you receive It. Thia re-
port should show everything you have
done on your plot of land up to and
Including the planting, letter on you
will be asked for a report from time
from time of planting up to the time
your crop I* laid by. and your final
report will be called for after the
close of the fairs this fall. Head the
rules of the club and the different
contests carefully, and If you do not
understand them, write me for in
formation. Remember this, that this
year the prizes are awarded different
than last year. The prizes are given
for the best reports, for best and neat
est written histories, for the best
yield per acre, and for the best sam-
ple of corn, cotton, maize or kaflr
corn. If any of you from any cause
should lose your crop, keep data,
make your report, write your history
and you have a chance to win as
large a prize as the one who makes
the greatest yield.
To members of corn and kafir corn
clubs only, I would like for every
member of these clubs to Join the pig
club. Read the rules of the pig, club,
get someone to weigh your pig some-
time during the last week in May an l
send this statement to Mr. Mahan.
secretary of the f air, at Oklahoma
City. If any boy or girl in the county
wants to Join the pig club, you can
enter by sending in your name and
giving the .following information. 1st
your correct address; 2nd, your age;
3rd, your father's name; 4th state
what farm papers reach your home,
and by saying that you will attend at
least two club meetings during the
year if asked to in your neighborhood,
and answer when I write- asking for
reports, and make report when called
for in the fall. It is necessary that
I have the information asked for be-
fore I enroll your name. iLast year
Greer and Jackson county boys held
their own with other sections of the
state and this year I will not be sat-
isfied unless my club beys and girls
win the lion's share of all prizes given
in Oklahoma.
Special to the girls: Premiums No-
1923 and 1924 does not require that
you raise the fruits and vegetables
that you exhibit. You can get them
anywhere you please, but you mu3t
do the canning yourself. We ye try.
ing to teach two distinct lessons; one
how to grow the fruits and vegetables
and the other, how to can, preserve
and take care of them. I would ad-
vise girls intending to compete in
these classes to begin now to can
everything that you can buy, beg or
get, and get your parents to get for
you, and put them up In as many
attractive ways as possible. I will
be glad to assist you in any way, and
Mrs. Jackson will take pleasure in
helping you if you will let her know
what assistance you need.
Remember we have one of the
grandest counties in the United State*
and It is up to you to show the other
farmers' wives that you can grow ev-
ery good thing to eat and then put
it in eating shape whether they think
so or not Remember to send all
reports direct to me, regardless of
what others tell you, and should you
I fail to get an answer when you write
for information within a reasonable
j length of time, write again, as I pos-
itively awswer every letter.
