increase in ub membership since the council was formed in 1931 occurred during the year the total membrshlp for 1533 throughout canada was 45314 compared with 3725 in 1938 this is an increase of 8 060 or 21 per cent as a matter of fact the club mem bership since 1931 has more than doubled in 1931 the membership was 21 142 the effectiveness of junior dub work as a factor in agricultural extension i activities states the report has long been recognized and its value in the improvement of farm practices be comes more evident each year the advancement being made in club work is not by any means limited to mere membership reports and observa tion indicate steady progress in the improvement of the character or the work in ihe development of its edu atlonal phases and in the planning e1 dub programs progress in tnli direction by making dub work more useful and effective has no doubt been an incentive to build up mem bership at the same time volume of mem bership is not the only and perhaps not the best medium by which the true value of any movement may be measured but the steady expansion which junior farm dub work has ex peiienced over a period of many years jearly indicates that its worth and possibilities are widely recognised it s a notable fact that the growth of this junior activity is the result of a strong demand from farm communi ties for ciub organization so much so that it has been found difficult in some cases to comply with all re quests for the establishment of junior dubs preliminary reports indicate that 1940 will be a good year for junior club work
