Iliarragut Agrirultural 4-ifq Glluh By W. O. Sharp Farragut school and community has a record in agricultural activities to be envied. The nation-wide publicity given several years ago to Far- ragut as a model farm community revealed the characteristics of the folksg they have always had an intense desire to combine their efforts in promot- ing better living, happier farm homes and a school program reaching all interests of the community. The success of Farragut Agricultural 4-H Club has been outstanding in Knox County. During the past ten years the Club has stood with the leading communities. Along with their educational progress in school the boys and girls have linked up theories with actual practice in carrying on farm projects. They have been made to realize that their living, their school, their community, their home and their educational problems are largely dependent on the farm. The young folks are proud that they live on farms in Farragut Community. Year after year new boys and girls have come to the front and won leading prizes in their club work. The success in pig club work dates back to the club days of Esther McSpadden. For the last three years, during which time the pig feeding club has been the most popular in Knox County, Farragut has taken first community prize in each contest. In 1923 Mar- garet Huff won the champion pig club prize by feeding four pigs and was given a free trip to the International Livestock Show and Club Convention at Chicago. And Margaret Huff has stood among the highest in each of the four contests carried on since that year. Joe Hand showed what he could do in 1925 in feeding six pigs, and won this same trip prize. And to keep up the record Clyde Harwell last year made the pig trip and spent a week in Chicago. In 1925 Clarence Reaves was selected as an all-round, good club member and went to the International as a corn club boy. The club livestock judging team won first in the county in 1921, 1923 and 1925.
