Boys' and Girls' Pig Club Work

Iowa State College

Abstract

Club work among the boys and girls has made rapid progress the past few years. This has been made possible through the efforts of machinery of the farm bureaus, for in most counties, either the county agent is at the head of the work, or else some assistant employed by the farm bureau. Other reasons why during the past year there has been greater interest shown are that breeding stock can be obtained much more cheaply. The cost of production has been lowered to such an extent that prospective members take more kindly to the work.

There are three different types of pig clubs which might be and are being carried on in some states, namely, the market pig, the pure bred gilt club, and the sow and litter club.

The market pig club was the first to be organized, and its development began in the south with the idea of encouraging children to grow pork for the family use.
