The XYZ Homemakers  Club (officially the Extension Education Association), a division of the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, met on February 20 at the James Community House in James. Introduced by Ellen Manning,  guest speaker Carolyn  Bounds demonstrated how to create a Forsythe pot for simple, inexpensive multiple plant propagations.  

 

 

Following the demonstration, the completed Forsythe pot was presented to Mrs. Bobbie Nutt who guessed the “winning number.” Mrs. Bounds also presented XYZ Club members with a variety of plant cuttings with which they could enjoy making Forsythe pots at home in time for spring transplanting. The XYZ Club, which meets monthly, is active not only locally, but also at district and state levels. The club proudly supports scholarships for Shelby County 4-H youngsters.
