SENDS BOY TO COLLEGEWashington-There are 177,980 farm boys and girls in the United States earning their own money every year because they like animals.
The figure is an actual census of 4-H Club Members enrolled in livestock enterprizes. Advised by extention workers cooperatively employed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and state agricultural colleges, these young stockmen tone a youngster's natural reaction to animals with profitable business methods.
They follow new, improved theories in feeding and management and keep a record of receipts and disbursements which at any moment makes it possible to calculate profit or loss.

Every detail of her existence lies in his ready hands. In return, she is going to send him to college. He deposits the profits from her milk in a bank.
