It is doubtful if there is a similar section of 20,000 inhabitants that can boast of as many club members as can the Uintah Basin. It would be well for every parent to study the needs of this great movement and find what place it can fill in their childs development. We reproduce the editorial of the above issue mentioned relative to club work in the Uintah Basin. Club Work in Uintah. The remarkable progress being made in boys and girls club work in the Uintah Basin, particularly in Uintah county, is attracting the of all who believe that club work is a vital force in agricultural Other counties, the advancement. Agricultural College, the farm bureau and business mens organizations are citing the Uintah work as a glowing example of what could be accomplished along this line thru-othe state as a result of concerted effort in support of a junior pro-- ! gram. In this connection, it is well to keep in mind the lessons taught hy In the Uintahs accomplishment. first place, it is apparent that the people nut there are club minded and they have been sold on club work to the extent that they are standing solidly behind it, believing it to be essential to permanency and progress in their 'agriculture.

He commands the confidence of the boys and girls and he liRp:rcs their best effort. Thirdly, the Uintah Basin boasts the possession of farm men and women who are both capable and willing to act in the capacity of club leaders. Fifty-si- x of them, in Uintah county alone, are now devoting time and atention to their respective clubs.

These are the essentials to success and any other county possessing them could make as good ' a showing as Uintahs. Without these essentials, club work will lag. Some other comities in Utah already have discovered, or they are fast coming to appreciate their of these essentials; and their club work , coming rapidly to the front. Other counties may possess the essentials but they have not yet been made to roalrie it. A few. perhaps, are lacking one or more of these essentials. It is to be hoped that all counties of the state will see in the results of the Uintah County club work a lesson which might well be applied at home, either to serve as as the basis for starting junior activities or as a stimulus to work alBoys ut j ready in FARMERS MAY MEET IN UTAH FOR CONFERENCE of Salt Lake city will, In behalf next the state of Utah, ask for the annual conference of the western Budivision of the, American Farm conThis years reau federation. at Fort Collins, herd ference is to he Colo., the week commencing July Protect Your Alfalfa Seed and Grain Crops with a Hail Insurance Policy.
