y PAGE EIGHT PIFOUI 0T Program 01 Training = !r Ainmdaiif Livina I . ? ? E\ ery Demonstration Meets Some i Farm, "Home, Individual Or Community Need By L. R. HARRILL N. C. State Club Leader , - With more than thirty thousand farm . boys and girls conducting better farm and j home practices in some phases of agriculture or home making, the- 4-H clubs are taking an active part in helping to establish a permanent agriculture in North Carolina. In nearly every community in this J State these farm boys and girls are conducting practical demonstrations under tne ' supervision of county homeland farm agents " and trained local leaders who have special I training to fit them for this type of work. " Every demonstration conducted by a 4-H. club member is intended to meet some farm, hn?np individual or comrnunitv need and I is designed as a part of the general agricul-1 tural program of the " community. Take j B dairying for an example: The first lessonfor the young dairyman is the selection of tl a good animal. Usually this animal is reg- c! istered and has a record of production back g. . of it. Step by step the club member then C( is taught how to feed and care for his c< calf, until it is a mature cow. He also yi gees into the problems of milk records and n feeding for high production. The calf club a member is taught how to judge and show 01 dairy animal- and the value of good breed- j d ins and good type in such animals. I w . In pig club, poultry, and other livestock j projects, the club members conduct. . similar demonstrations. Due to their j efforts there has been an increase in the ^ quality and the quantity of purebred live- g( stock on the farms in North Carolina. sv T.. A.* nl 11 Vo ill crop utn:uiij3wxai;xuiio, wio uuw i members are taught practical and econ- J g] omical methods of production. Trained ir leaders give them instructions in seed se- a: lection, preparation of the seed bed, fertili- ei zation, cultivation, harvesting, showing and , le marketing farm crops. Club work emphasipes the home as well C as tho farm. Through 4=11 club work im- f( proved practices in food preparation, room n improvement, nutrition and health, and 0 various other projects are being demonstrated by the 4-H club girl. w In addition to the individual projects, w numerous community projects arc conduct- j-, ed by the 4-H clubs. These projects are a valuable for two reasons: first, there is a j v. need for the project to be undertaken. For T example, in one county last "year the 4-H c club took the initiative in beautifying the h school grounds in the county. During the c year every school in that county with a t: ' TT -1..V nmoniMHnr, V,qf} Jpg gfOUndS ^ f?-?1 Ui Li IJ Ulgc\iiui(iv?v** ? ?__ w landscaped and planted. Second, com- 0 munity projects are valuable because they * teach the value of cooperation and give the boys and girls something to do which re- f, quires the cooperation of all the boys and 0 girls in the community. Through the com- t: in unity project, the clubs are not only t learning how to cooperate themselves but o they are also demonstrating to the local I people the value of cooperation in putting f over a community enterprise. PROVIDES RURAL RECREATION * To live at home, our rural folks need more recreation. The 4-K clubs are helping ' to bring this about. The club member; has found that nothing can take the place j of recreation in a rural community or in c the 4-H club. Whether it be a community v { __ meeting or a club, meeting it wm oe iiaiujn to find a substitute to add pep 'to the i 2 program that recreation will. Believing 1 that all work and no play makes Jack a!c dull boy and Jane a dumb girl, the 4-H i r clubs have added this program of recrea- j t tion and play. i v TE/.CHERS THRIFT AND * ATTENTIVE- $ NESS. '[* I v 4-H club work also teaches thrift by re- j J; . quiring the member to pay' attention to 1 details and lo keep an accurate record of ^ his demonstration. In teaching prompt- " ness and attentiveness. nothing can do the ^ Job better than a grov/ing crop or a grow- g ing animal, especially if the crop or the' * -? ?-j?? I animal is the property of tne coy or gin. r The element of ownership is vital in the c success of the boy an^ the eirV the rip on- f et.ration and the future of the individual: r therefore one of the requirements for mem- \ bership in 4-H club is that the demonstra- -M tiion. whether jt be a calf, a pig. a growing I crop, or whatever it is must hr the property I r oe the club member. It iis with this -under- f'l standing that the club members works and. r I selves the problems that arise. I i THE STATE FA > ? U pi V A, m JL* WW pyy/v ?/' t w% wv '/ ''/// # / ##* _#? ^ '//'.

We have motto, "Make the Best Better," and 1 ften make use of it during periods oi iscouragement. I think that we could ell adopt another one, "Onward and Upard." One thing that has helped mc award and upward has been that grim etermination to succeen. FourH club work helps to build characer and self-respect. Leadership is the >a\ and law-abiding citizens are the rents from 99 per cent of 4-H members. Contact with my projects has given reater knowledge of things to be done l our work in the future. Another pleasnt feature has been in friendships form3 with felicw members, local and state :aders. I attended the Leadership Institute al amp Long in 1934 and came home with a ?eling that the time was well spent. Manj pw friends were made and a greater value f leadership was seen. corn project s-f oessful I have carried on some 4-h project.' which have been very successful. One noteworthy project has been my corn crop. -1 ave won many prizes with corn at fair: nd corn shows. One noted prize wa; inning for two years the Southern Corr tophy. This has resulted in better corr n our farm, both for feed and seed. W< ave sold a large quantity of pure seec orn. We have selected and bred a beauiful strain of the old Lcman Yellow corn rom this, we have sold seed to farmer: ver a large portion of the South. Gros: eturns from my corn projects amount ti 725.10, leaving a profit around $5S0.C0. With swine, i have been very successful laving won the Thomas E.

In 1925, I won i 25.00 gold medal for best pig in tin tate. This prize was presented by S. C Ifcate Bankers Association. In addition, iave won many blue ribbons at variou airs. ~ cotton demonstration This past year, I conducted the bes otton demonstration of my 11 years fork.

C. > Through club work I have learned many , valuable things that will help me to make a success of my life. It has taught me not ' ' *?u thinrrc rvllt". to depend on otners dui, iu amuj vllxxigo V?V?? 1 for myself. I have learned from club ' work how to keep records and the importance of keeping them. Club work has helped me to realize that to succeed in : life one must know how to win without : boasting and how to lose without squealing, j Success comes only to those who do not give up but Keep trying, trying always to | beat their own records. Four-H work has ' | taught me the importance of being kind, 1 j polite^ and of doing my work right. It j has also helped me gain many friends that ' | I would not have otherwise. In 1930, through the kindness of Mr. ' j J. F. Hawkins, I was able to get a pure( bred Guernsey heifer with which to start 1 my club work as possible, I secured, also ! j calf and pig would make a good combination, and wishing to take as much advantage of club work as possible, 0 secured, also ' with the help of Mr. Hawkins, a purebred Poland China gilt. I tried as nearly as ' nnociHio tn fniinw the instructions in feed 1 ing and managing, given me by our dairy ' specialist and our county agent. I had ! good success with my pig and calf and exhibited both at the fall fairs, winning $93.75. The total profits of both my proJ jects as taken from my record book for ' 1930 amounted to $448.17. I was a member of the Newberry Coun3! ty Calf Club and also of the Hartford 4-H 3 i Community Club, which I served as sec1 j retary for 1930. I was a member of the 1 j Newberry judging team, and won a trip | to Clemson College as a member of the ' tri-county judging team. At Clemson I competed for a place on the district iudmng team but was unsuccessful. Also, In 1930 3 i I was chosen as one of the calf club boys s from Newberry -county to go to the State 3 Pair to help care for the calves the Newberry boys were showing. This being my ' first year attending the fair, it was a new e experiecne for me and I learned many valuable things in club work. Peeling that I had had good success1 for a beginner and with the determination 3 of "making the best better." I-joined the V club in 1931 with the intention of 1. a clubster as long as I remained of club p i age. I continued my work in calf and !* j pig clubs and in addition to these I joined 1! the corn club. I was elected and served as s secretary-treasurer of Newberry County Calf Club and president of the Hartford Community Club. I attended the annual * 4-H Leadership Training School which was J held at clemson College the week of July * j 13, 1931. I attended the livestock training ^ I courses and judging given in the county | for 4-H livestock judging teams. I won s j a place on the county team and competed I! in the district, tudeiner contest held at Clemson College. e I was advised to sel] the calf that I now e f owned, so placed her in the state sale held e annually in Columbia. She brought the * second highest price of all the animals on ^! sale. I then bought another calf with * [ which I plan ot continue my club work. 0! The profits of all three of my projects as r taker, from my record books foi 1931 total e $48.72. I was again selected as one of the s boys from Newberry county to go to the State Fair and care for the county 4-H r calf club exhibit. 3 After being in club work for two years 3 and hating as much success as I had had, s I was quite enthusiastic when we reorgans ized in 1932. I continued my work in call h and pig clubs and in addition joined the potato club. I entered the livestock judgb ing contest -held in Newberry and was e chosen to represent Newberry county at - Clemson. During 1982 I was president ol - r the Hartford Community Club and secreI tary of the Newberry County Qaif Club. South Carolina FFA I Members Are Active I ^ ?
