The purpose of this leaflet is to give a better understanding of garden and strawberry clubs for the boys and girls of South Dakota. After receiving an explanation of what these clubs are, who are eligible, what is expected of members and local leaders, what is available from the Extension Service at Brookings, and educational and financial advantages gained by the members, we feel that the leaders will be in a better position to accept or reject this club work in their respective communities.

Some may believe that strawberry picking is not a subject to be taken up for July but let us tell you why we are taking it up at this time.
