West Virginia’s first Corn Club was organized at Pickaway School on the idea of county superintendent C.A. Keadle, with support from WVU Agricultural Dean T.C. Atkenson. The WVU Extension Dept. provided 71 schoolchildren with tested seed in 1908, and 46 entered a crop in a corn show at the courthouse in Union in November. Corn Clubs, later known as Agricultural Clubs, paved the way for today’s 4-H Clubs.
