FARMERS’ GLUBS ARE DOING MUCH GOOD Continually Working to Better Rural Conditions, THREE HUNDRED IN STATE (By HARVEY M. BUSH, Extension Di-! vision, University Farm, St. Paul.) { At present there are about 300 farmers’ clubs in the state of Minne-| sota. These clubs are doing a great deal to better rural conditions at the | . present time. They benefit the peo- ple of the communities in which they exist in three wa (1) socially, (2) @educationally, and (3) tinancially. The soeial features of these farmers’ clubs ¢ ape most important. With the month- ¥y or bimonthly meetings of the clubs the people of the community are brought together so they become bet- %er acquainted with each other au'il the distrust which so often exists m; & eommunity disappears. These meetings also give the peo- ple of a community a place to gox Most farmers are forced to stay too alosely at their work and their homes. f This lack of association is felt more| by the women and children than by | the men. With a pleasant day to look | forward to once a month the \\omenX amd children will be more contented ; with farm work and less liable to leave‘ e farm for town life. One of the blg’ problems today is holding the ‘women | and children on the farms and inter-' esting them in the farm business. By’ attending these club meetings and | Mstening to the discussions of farm practice which they do not hear at; home they are shown the more in-| teresting side of farming and their in. terest in the farm work is increased. The educational feature of these farmers’ club meetings is the makmg. ~ general of the knowledge of each in- dividual member of the club. Through | the discussion of farm topics which is, .entered into by the club members the Dest is brought out. The financial features of the club emcourage co-operation among its members. Co-operative compa mlevi which will increase the efficiency of | the members in producing and market-| ing the farm crops can be formed as an outgrowth of their social club. An easy way to start one of these. elubs is for some family of a cor munity to invite two or three of their nelghboring families to their home‘ A good dinner can be prepared, also a program which may consist of a few readings, recitations, and some music. There is ncthing like a good meal to break down reserve and make people sociable and put them into a better frame of mind to accept such a propo-| sition and act on it favorably. If de- gired, some high school agricultural mstructor, county agricultural agent, or a representative of the Agricultural Extension Division may be invited to help present a proposition and effect the organization of the club. A sim-! ple constitution may be adopted and officers elected. These officers should | be the people who aré¢ most interest- ed and most likely to make a success | of the club, instead of those most‘ popular in the community. ! The Minnesota public library com- mission sends out free traveling libra- ~ rles to farmers’ clubs, on application. These consist of twenty-five books of | the best reading on agriculture and domestic science. No farmers’ club should be without one of these libra- rles. The Agricultural Extension Di- i sends out each month outlined timely topics and short articles which can be used by farmers’ clubs at their regular meetings. These are sent to any farmers’ club in Minnesota on application.

Use wooden receptacles and let the cider settle for a few days to get rid of fine pomace, then draw off the clear juice with a short length of rub- ber hose used as a siphon.
