SOCO SCHOOL COMMUNITY ORGANIZES
FIRST ACTIVE 4-H CLUB GROUPS "
By MRS. NAN TV N ER 1
A joint boys and girls' 4-H clubj
was organized June 1, 1948 at a,
meeting held at Soco Community!
School, This is the first 4-H club
to be active in the community.
Mr. Sam Hyatt, Extension Agent,
the instigator and under whose
supervision the- club was- formed,
introduced the speakers. They
were Miss Mary Johnston and Mr.
M. L. Snipes the Home Demon
stration and Agricultural agents,
respectively, of Jackson County.
Together they explained the pur
pose of the 4-H club, the many
opportunities it offers to an active'
member, such as leadership, Social:
activities, education farm and home
' I
demonstrations of many kinds, et!
cetera. Most important,_they said
the 4-H club teaches boys and girls 1
to appreciate, as well as a desire
to create, a more productive farm
and a more comfortable home. /
The response was most enthusi
astic. Sixteen girls and fourteen
boys joined, and chose such pro
jects as poultry raising, garden
ing, pig, calf, cooking, sewing and
canning. With these thirty as a
nucleus, there is every reason to
Relieve the ciud win be successful,)
both collectively and individually.'
and that the membership will in-1
crease as others recognize the many j
opportunities which the 4-H club
offers.

who joined and the projects they
chose to work on:

project and also raise pigs with

that effect are to be sent out and

Bulletin Is Published
On Barn Construction
A new 24-page bulletin on "Flue
Cured Tobacco Barn Construction"
has just been released by the State
College Service and is available
free upon request to the Agricul
tural Editor, State College Station,
Raleigh. ;
The publication, prepared by R.
R. Bennett, Extension tobacco spe
cialist, points out that the high fuel
and insurance cost involved in
curing tobacco emphasizes the im
portance of proper barn construc
tion.
"In many cases," Mr. Bennett
declares, "tobacco barns are being
operated with holes in the gable
ends, openings under the eaves
between the rafters, and ridge ven
tilators that cannot be closed. In

conditions, it has been found that

wasteful of timber, the specialist
