Book excerpt: Excerpt from Farmers' Clubs, Vol. 13 During the last decade, a great deal has been said and written about the lack of social lito in many rural coinnuinities. Sometimes a man has given up farming, not because he did not know how to till the soil and raise crops, but because some members of his family were dissatisfied with the social life and opportunities in the neighborhood. Very often young men and young women leave the farm, saying they want to get into a place where there are greater social opportunities. A recent writer says, "When a district ceases to be a mere collection of householders and rises to the dignity of a community with common interests and common aspirations, it becomes alive, and the 'monotony' of country life becomes largely a thing of the past. We need the stimulation of our kind for our own better development." We believe that a farmers club will help to develop people. Whatever is an important subject for the community may be taken up and studied by such an organization. We do not advocate the establishment of a club of one particular type in every community, for it is our belief that the type of organization should be changed to suit the local needs. In localities where the farmers club movement has been well established, the people are greatly pleased and its value to the rural community is very much appreciated. Thru the club meetings, the people become acquainted and begin to realize that their interests are mutual. These meetings also tend to develop community spirit and afford a strong tie to keep people in the neighborhood. This bulletin contains suggestions that may be useful where clubs are being organized. Some of the suggestions may be helpful to the Boy Scouts, others to the Camp-fire Girls, and others to the various church societies, the Grange, the Gleaners, the Farmers Union, and other farmers organizations and clubs. Literary societies in schools and women's clubs may get assistance from the plans proposed herein. Need For Development Of Community Effort There is a great difference in communities, when sociability and progress are considered, yet no community in Ohio has reached the place where it is impossible for it to make further progress. Country people need to meet and become better acquainted. When they become acquainted, they will then act concertedly for their own betterment. Several reasons may be given to prove that it will be a great advantage to a community to develop organized effort.
