u_ CLUB PROJECTS.
lb A club project is any specitic piece of farm or home work i
which may be undertaken by a club member, such as growing a
pig or calf, raising an acre of corn, canning fruits and vege- l
tables, or making garments. The object of having club mem-
01. bers carry on these projects is to teach them the best known t
mv methods of doing farm and home work and to make of them
Of better and more prosperous farm citizens. To be a bona fide club
al member, a boy or girl must do a farm or home project.
O1, Vllhen tive or more club members in a community are en- .
31, gaged in the same project, with an adult leader, they are called
C_ a project group. These project groups were formerly called `
clubs but it is better for the work to have only one club in a
D community, composed of all the club members, and to call it a
to Junior Community Club.
b, Dchnite outlines and instructions can be furnished by the
Club Department on more than thirty projects. This large
number is offered in order that every community in Kentucky
may be able to select the projects most adaptable to its condi-
{S tions and needs. It is recommended, however, that no com-
munity select more than tive projects and under average condi-
as tions better results will be obtained it only two or three are
chosen. If a large number of club members demonstrate the
lg same project the improved method will be more readily adopted
VH by the community than if there are only a few demonstrations.
Ld More interest will also be taken by the club members.
ln selecting the projects for a community, the va.rious farm
lf and home problems should be studied and those projects selected
:8 which will demonstrate improved methods along those lines
which most evidently need improving. For example, suppose

 ;~;V   { Viz; .,'—·
  j .     6 Kentucky Extension Circular N 0. 177  
  ~ .   ·   that in a certain community few or none of the farmers feed a J c
  [ V 1   ‘   _ balanced ration to their hogs but feed grain alone. Under such .»
l is V   § A I conditions a pig-feeding demonstration will be helpful. A can-
? _-1i.c_c·»   `   ning project should be selected by a community which grows
i `Zli Qi `   ._ r   A good fruits and vegetables but does not can or preserve its winter   A
5   A ‘‘·g J   ` `   supply. It is relatively easy to select suitable projects for a   5_
  · _ _     community if a little study is given to the conditions and needs.

  '·.·=     1. Arouse interest among the boys and girls in club work.
J  Q       This can be done most easily, in communities where the
    ` Q   work is new, by visiting the school and outlining the bene-
; ‘ I   j g.'‘ {jj; fits and opportunities of Club Work to the boys and girls 6_
        of club age. The play and rec1·eational side should be » 7_
          emphasized as well as the educational advantages. r
     ¤ 2. Get·the approval of the parents. This maybe done by of
{ _¤‘ N; _ ,; . jg having those who desire to enrol secure the signatures of Ch
  _   their parents to their enrollment cards. A much better A UD
{   `.     way, however, is to get the parents to attend a meeting
   »]f;;    where the aims and objects of club work are explained. V
{ _     This will insure better cooperation thruout the year.
i `*     3. Secure some adult resident of the community to be the local
I         community leader who is interested in the development of i del
E ii?      the community and likes to work with young people. Such gre
gl    if  persons usually will take the leadership of the club if the 8 E
Q  gg     _ opportunities and possibilities are made clear to them. V th?
  4. Call a meeting of the prospective club members and the glo
    ii;-, .   local leader. At this meeting the following things should
    L . A_`. be done;
      ‘_,j,,   a, Make a record of all those who are to be club members, V. E;}
        giving name, age, address, project and parents’ names- o SGC
    b. Elect officers, president, vice—president, secretary-treas— A age
  urer, and appoint necessary committees. ‘
  _.__—  ;_`f  c. Select the projects.
  d. Outline program for the year, which should include
  time and place of meeting, monthly topics for discus- _
  sion, community activities to be undertaken, demon-_ mg

d tl stration teams and judging teams to be selected and
uch trained, club fairs, shows, tours, plays, games, enter-
:a.n— _ tainment, songs and yells.
ows e. Appoint a club reporter to write up the events of the
iter club for the local papers and State Club Office. l
P a 5. Secure a leader for each project group. Each project group
ids will need some local person to encourage and help it. If
corn, pigs and clothing were the three projects chosen by a
community, there should be a leader selected for each of
irk. these project groups who is especially interested in the pro-
the ject of the group he or she leads. In some cases the com-
me- munity leader may also be the leader of a project group.
irls 6. Give each member a membership card.
be 7. Teach club pledge and motto.

3d' COMMUNITY LEADERS.
,31 The success or failure of a Junior Community Club largely
of depends on the interest and activity of the adult leader. It is a
ch great privilege and opportunity to be the leader and adviser of
he a fine active group of boys and girls who are trying to develop
themselves into good useful citizens. Hundreds of men and
he Women in Kentucky are giving freely of their time and thought
ld in directing the activities of such groups.
Any resident of a community may be a successful leader if
_S] he or she enjoys association and work with boys and girls. All
BS. the detailed information on the activities of the club can bc
S- secured from the county agricultural or home demonstration
agent, or the College of Agriculture, University of Kentucky.

l   half of this time. The remaining time should be given to re- mei
    creation and making plans for social, community and county ter
i   activities. All meetings should begin and close promptly at the  
  _ time set. If this is done the parents will be more willing t0 tbl:

5 The leader of each junior community club should train a
3 team to demonstrate some new or improved farm or home method T
E which is most needed by the community. A county contest ~
should then be held with all the community teams entered to
determine the best farm and home practice demonstration .
teams. These county champion teams will be entered in the '
state contest which is held at Lexington during Junior Week. V
Demonstrations by any of the community teams may be given
before luncheon clubs, business men’s organizations and other y
public gatherings. The Club Department has twenty—five de- ,
monstrations outlined, copies of which will be sent free on re-
quest.
LIVE STOCK JUDGING.
I Each year a live stock judging contest for junior club mem- j
bers is held at the Kentucky State Fair. Every county that
has a county agricultural agent is eligible to enter a team. ‘
Three members and an alternate constitute a team. It is ex- _
  pected that several teams will be trained in each county by the

doing good work. The opportunity to attend camp is offered
as a reward for good work done. i
The camps open iMonday afternoon and close Friday morn-
ing. The program consists of practical instruction in agricul-
ture and home topics during the forenoon and recreational ac-
tivities in the afternoon. The whole program is designated to
inspire boys and girls with the advantages of country life and
rural opportunity. The camp leaders and instructors are expert
in their lines, which makes the camps profitable and pleasant to T
the adults as well as the club members.
The club members bring their provisions from home, which 4
makes the cost of the camp very small. The girls are well eared
for by the home demonstration agent and women club leaders
of the eounty and the boys are under the care of the eounty
agent and men leaders.
ACHIEVEMENT DAY EXERCISES. ‘
Every club member who completes a project and turns in ·
ia record of it to the local leader or the eounty or home demon-
stration agent is entitled to receive a certificate of achievement
from the College of Agriculture, University of Kentucky. An
achievement day program should be held in each county for the
awarding of these certificates and all those who are to receive
them, together with their local leaders, should attend. An ap-
propriate program and the usual ceremonies should precede the
awarding of the certificates. Club members who are given no
recognition for good work done will not have the incentive to
continue as will those who are made to feel that they have com-
pleted some worth-while piece of work and have 1·eeeived their t
_ certificates of award.
RECREATION.
Recreation is one of the greatest needs of boys and girls in
the rural districts. More play is needed to enliven their lives
and teach them fair play, good sportsmanship and cooperation.
The progress of a community depends on the pulling together
