to the successful production of live-
stock. To disregard or neglect them
means poor success, and sometimes
failure. One of the basic elements of
successful ranching in Crook county is
livestock. The man, therefore, who is
most willing to accept and apply the
many known facts regarding livestock
production is the one who will be most
successful in the business.
The first and most important thing
in any kind of livestock business is to
know which are purebreds and which
are scrubs, and why. To be satisfied
with merely thinking we know is not
sufficient. We must be sure we have
the facts• They are obtainable from
many sources and free for the asking.
The argument that jt is too expens-
ive to go into the purebred business is
a poor excuse offered by many who are
not converted to the fact that purebred
or high grade animals are more profit-
able than low grade or scrub animals.
No rancher can afford to keep scrub
animals T~hey are liabilities, not as-
sets. Proof of this can be found on
every hand. The best breeders of the
country claim that the sire is half the
herd. This being true, it is only a
question of time till any man who is
progressive can,by the use of the right
s~res, improve his animals till they will
compare favorably with the best of an-
imals. The man who persists in keep-
ing scrub animals is himself a scrub.

profitable, more eagerly sought after,
give greater satisfaction to the owner
and add greater wealth to the country.
There is one branch of animal husband-
ry in which many people'go wrong who
are otherwise straight on the value of
high grade or pure bred animals. It
is in dairying. Just why they believe
they can make an animal walk on the
sidewalk and in the middle of the road
at the same time is not clear. It has
taken centuries to produce the breeds
of dairy and beef cattle we now have.
The object has always been to improve
the animal for beef production or milk
and butter. The men who are trying
to make the same animal do both are
choosiv.g the difficult or impossible way
when there is a sure, easy way.
The quality of the animal i~ only half
the battle; feed and care is the other
half. On this point many of our so-
called successful stockmen fall down.
They expect the high grade or pure
bred animal always to come out on top
even if.stinted with feed and care.
This is unfair to the good animals. One
difference between a high clas~ animal
and a scrub is that the pure bred uti.
|izes its feed to better advantage; it
can put on more pounds of weight per
day, or, in the cue of dairy cows, pro-
account the above mentioned facts and
many others. The man who already
"knows it all" has no time for new
ideas or demonstrated facts.
JUNIOR CLUBS
A VERY wise and much loved
American said, "the best crop
any country can produce is its crop of
boys and girls." If we agree with
this statement we accept a great re-
sponsibility. The next question that
arises is what we shall do with this all
important crop. There are. many an-
swers. Each father and mother and
school teacher knows just what should
be done. The average answer from
all of them would be "give them an
education and the proper home train-
ing." The ways of doing it are about
as varied as there ate different fam-
ilies.
The latest form of rural education
as recognized by both state and na-
tional institutions is that which accepts
the community as the unit and recog-
nizes the boy and girl u one of the
most important factors in it. The com-
munity has its problems, some peculiar
to itself, others in common with the
county. If these questions are solved
for any given community, the people
thereof must do it with what assistance
they can secure from the outside. If
there are to be good schools, gcod
teachers, good homes and social well
being, the individual farms and ranches
of that community must prosper. To
accomplish this the boys and girls must
be taken into account as important
factors in the solution of the problems.
The experience ~bf hundreds of thous-
ands of boys and girls in club work in
every state in the Union during the
past eight years has demonstrated in
the most concrete manner that the
boys and girls can do more than most
people dream of in promoting commun-
ity interest and sqlving agricultural
and home problems. The reason this
is true is simple; young folks are en-
thusiastic, anxious to learn, easy to
teach, and readily cO-operate.
Many examples may be cited to show
how this works. In one community in
Fremont county the boys and girls had
been working with pig einbs for sever-
al years, When the Farm Bureau was
organized, the community decided it
wanted to encourage dairying instead
of hog raising. In order to assist in
solving what was considered a com-
munity problem, the boys and girls
went into the dairy calf club, discon-
tinuing the pig clubs: There was no
dairy stock in the community, so a ear
load of dairy calves were brought in
and distributed among the club mem-
bers. The banks took notes from the
club member~. Similar thing~ have
OCTOBER 14, 1920
been done in other counties with sheep,
poultry, beef cattle, etc.
Among the most valuable results of
club work in the community is the
training the boys and girls receive in
the fundamental principles of agricult-
ure and home problems. They learn
quickly the importance of proper breed-
ing, feeding and care of animals. The
importance of selecting and testing of
seed. Also improved methods in house-
hold economy. Furthermore, they de-
velop leadership, community spirit and
a love for the things and opportunities
that rural life affords.
A brief summary of results of club
work in Wyoming for the paSt year
will indicate something of the progress
made. The following results were ob-
tained in the various clubs, potato
clubs, gardening, canning, poultry,
pigs, dairy calves, sheep, and sewing
clubs:
Number of clubs, 96. :-
Boys and girls enrolled, 1562.
Number of members completing the
work, 1101.
Total value of products raised, $39,-
015,80.
Total cost of production, $16,296.17.
Net profit, $,42.719,63.
This is the result of club work that
can be reduced to figures-and this, too
because of careful and systematic ree-
l orals. The most valuable training, as
has been stated, is that which cannot
[ be reduced to figures.
Crook County should avail herself of
[ the opportunity to encourage the young
! folks to assist in solving community
and county problems. Beef calf clubs
could be organized to advantage. This
is a good way of introducing high grade
or purebred stock into all communities
and at the same time develop success-
ful stockmen for the future.
The banks of the county have ex-
premmd a willingness to assist in finan-
cing a proposition of this kind. The
rest is up to the farmers, What do
you want to do about giving the boys
and girls of Crook County a chance to
go forward?

Community Meetings
Immediately following the member-
ship drive, a meeting of the
reau will be held in each community, at
which time a program of work will be
outl~ed. This is the moat importlmt
work of the organization, because upon
ly for theupbuilding of that commun-
ity, the county F&rm Bureau will not
be a suceess~ The state and the na-
tional Farm Bureaus depend entirely
upon the county and community organ-
izations. As a Farm Bureau member,
it is your duty to be present at these
meetings. Do not allow small things
to keep you away, but decide to be
there and then do so.
Membership Drive
During the week of October 11 every
farmer and rancher in the county will
be given the opportunity of learning
just what the Farm Bureau ~s and what
itis doing. A force of six men will
cover the county and call personally
upon each farmer. These six men are
farmers who are interested in the de-
velopment of the farming business.
They know what the Farm Bureau is
and will gladly answer any questions
you care to ask them. Farm bureau
members will be expected to assist in
getting these men from one ranch to
another. Be prepared to do your part
if called upon. Remember that this is
your organization, and you will get
out of it just what you put into it.
Co-operative Shipping
During the year from July, 1919, to
July, 1920, Arkansas farmers made a
total of 328 cars in co-operative ship-
ments of livestock. They made the
neat saving of $72,788 by doing it, this
figure represeffting the difference be-
tween their net returns and the high-
est prices they were offered on the
local markets.

Fifty head of Hereford heifers and
