I C, I - The Blue and Gold Dairy Club With the close of this, its fourth year of existence 011 the Aggie Campus the Blue and Gold Dairy Club has admirably fulfilled the three- fold purpose for which it was organized.

A great deal of effort has been expended by the offlcers to bring before the Round Table speakers who have had many years experience and who consequently have a definite and worthwhile message to deliver. Interspersed between the meetings with speakers have been those at which timoviesi, of interesting subjects were presented in a pleasing manner. The Round Table has been active in promoting interest in orchard judging and has not only secured competition with other colleges, but has taken upon itself the promoting of interest in this subject in the high schools. Mr. W. P. Duruz has given a great deal of his time and energy to the students interested in orchard judging, and it is here that. the Round Table wishes to express an appreciation of this service. The orchard judging committee has been very active and numerous trips have been made throughout the surrounding country. The trips were planned with the idea of covering a great deal of ground and of giving the students as much practical experience in this work as was possible. The trips have not been confined to restricted areas, but were made to different sections of the country. The number of students who took part in these tours is ample proof of their success. . To secure funds for its varied activities a movie show was given and the annual dance is being planned for some time later in the semester. Much of the success of this organization has been due to the officers. They have worked conscientiously in order that the meetings might be both interesting and instructive. Certainly their efforts have been well rewarded. E331

The Golden Egg Club For the purpose of giving the students on the Campus a better understanding of the advantages of Poultry Husbandry, the Golden Egg Club was founded in 1922. Since that time the interest as shown by students and near-by poultry producers has developed an organiation which has done much to further the poultry industry in this section. During the year prominent men engaged in production, extension service, and faculty addressed the club on investigations of the latest problems. Discussions of individual problems, illustrated by lantern slides were a part of the meetings. T rips t0 near-by poultry plants aided in giving a clearer knowledge of the industry. During the Fall semester a reception was given in the Auditorium of the Classroom Building for the Short Course Students, who were in attendance at the University. We were very fortunate in having as our speaker Mr. W. A. Lippencott, who has taken charge of the Poultry Division, coming to us from the Kansas State Agricultural College. With the ever increasing interest of the student body the success of this club is assured. The officers for the F all and Spring semesters are as follows: Fall Spring R. W.
