CUCUMBERS—E. G. Wickline of the Stonewall section was one of over 100 farmers in the county that added to their income this year by growing cucumbers. These farmers received a guaranteed price for their crop and most seemed well-pleased with the results.. 4-H’ERS GEAR FOR OFF-THE-FARM JOBS prepared by Nationol 4-H Service Cotnmittee, Ine. Kconomists now predict that only one out of nine farm youth will make his lirelihood by own ing or operating a farm. When this ratio is Mkplied to 4-H Club members who are brought up on farms and ranches, several hundred thousand each year will choose off-the-farm oc cupations. To better prepare these young people fpr jobs in industry, education and else where, the Cooperative Exten sion Service of every state land- grant college or university is keying 4-H educational programs to current trends in jobs. "The 4-H projects serve as apprenticeships to career ex plorations,” stated Dr. B. W. Alton of the Federal Extension Service, addressing a gronp of business men and women whose Arms contribute about a million dollars to 4-H work each year. ’^ub leaders are placing more emphasis eg vocational goid- ancsi” he said. Only t^o out ad Id high-schools t^ay offer voca tional counsMng, and most of ■ these schools are in large cities. Extension worken are teaching boys and girle to "convert the eomplex- cldster of 4-H experl- encea to di^-to-dsy events," ho added. i A recent report states that I there -are now three jobs await- i.Ing every agricnitnral eollege i graduate.
