I planned and prepared my same garden that I have used in 4-H for the past two years for these reasons: an excellent lo cation, soil tested, type of soil for the variety of sesds to be planted, the kind of fertilize to use f r the best yield a n d time saved in locating the garden spot. When the time came for gar dening, 1 was interested in get ting a.new start-as I had a tw garden plow ant i' felt like I had good help to start. I plow ed my garden more ofteh; I used my hoe very little. My plants grew faster and rank. It seems my yield was much better. A great deal of my time was spent in the afternoon when I came step out in front with | gv FRIEND OF 4-H J. F. ROBINSON, Gen. Mdse. CANE RIVER, N. C. 4-Hers learn from nature's school FRIEND OF 4-H Mary Carter Paint Store BURNSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA in from school in my garde® in order to have it ready for early planting when the soil was warm and ready. I used my planting calendar for a guide in planting seeds and for setting out plants. Therefore, I had a very interest ing experience growing some of the same vegetables that I grew in my garden last year and other new vegetables that I was very. successful in growing, too. My family and others enjoyed the vegetables when they were harvested and ready to eat. 1 Each day my interest grew from planning, pla n ti n g, and ob servation of the growth and , yield until the day of harvesting. My vegetable garden has saved and been a means for , earning money, furnished quality vegetables for the home use, for sale and giving to neighbors. It has proven valuable training, provided nature’s best foods that ' furnish valuable materials for building and regulating the body and maintaining health «®d growth; During the time I spent in gar dening, it was an opportunity for me to use the same time i® getting, jnorning sunshine, fresh air ahd exercise for daily health habits. I grew stronger and de veloped larger muscles for more efficient work in my garden. From my own experience in gardening, I have found these objectives will help a®y 4-H girl or boy achieve the follow- ing: to acquire the knowledge! and develop the skills esse®t-> ial to the care and management of a well-planned garden. To lab ertase * ihdMh&tl or family in come by reducing the amount of food purchased; to contribute to better family health by producing sufficient amounts of essential a®d nutritious vegetables through- 5 out the year; to enjoy the satis faction that comes from bring ing plants into successful matur ity and develop gardening as a hobby; to develop fine leadership talents and to work toward ach ieving the broad objective of character &.nd effective citizen ship. My vegetable garden provided a place for me to work, for exer cise, a means of raising money from selling cor®, beans, beets and potatoes; foods frozen, can ned and dried for winter U9e. Garening will be a continued project in my 4-H work as I plan to enlarge my garden for a ' greater demand for selling more vegetables and for home use. OPPORTUNITIES FOR 4-H LEADERS By: Maphra B- Bennett, Ju®ior Leader, Bee Log High School As a leader in 4-H Ju®ior Club work I have now come to know that it is a live organizat ion of young people working, learning, and having fun together.

It pays to develop a junior lea r dership program in spite of dif r Acuities, because this is import- I a n t to the program and also helps gain the goal of leader ship development, It is amazing how just a little encouragement, recognition and sympathetic understanding can : •••-.*»- - help younger members express thefn selves . As a leader. I might ask my self: "What makes the 4-H Club program?” This might be my answer: “The leader, the mothers and fathers, the boys and girls and extension agents working to gether. Yancey County is very fortunate in having two well trained extension agents, Mrs. Alice Hopson and Mr- Charles Steelman. I know that family understand ing and cooperation are essential . for the success of 4-H Club work. The biggest help parents can give their children in 4-H Club work is a sympathetic attitude to ward the work and a willingness to furnish needed equipment and materials- Leaders will encourage boys and girls to plan with their par ents the 4-H Home Improvement projects they will do at home. I am a 4-H leader because I like young people and have a sineere desire to be of service to them. The personal satisfaction I shar e with many 4-H leaders I have been expressed by them in these ways: Personal growth through taking responsibility as leaders- New ideas learned. The satisfaction of helping boys and girlg to help themselves. An enlarged circle of frjend shipl Appreciation a n d recognition from parents and others. A feeling that we are doing something very worth while for the community.

As we guide youth in 4-H and try to help them on their real growing up needs, let us think of these words; Not what we have but what we use; Not what we see but what we choose — These are things that mar or bless The sum of human happi®ess. | MY CHILD CARE PROJECT By: Kay Buchanan 4his past year I took Child Care as my project. I took care of a two-year old girl. Her name is Cindy. I found that Cindy liked stuffed animals even better than dolls. The stuffed a n imals are softer and "nice to cuddle. Cindy tried to tell, me that her dog had torn up her Raggedy I Ann "doll. I gave her some candy and I believe she got more .on her face than she ate. This called for a bath. Cindy liked the water and I got as wet as she from all her splashing. Before her after noon nap, I read Ci®dy a story. I read the story “ Little Red Ridi®g Hood” and told her the the story of “The Three Bears.” After her nap I played records for her. She tried to fi®d out where the voices were coming j from- I took her outside i® the j fresh air and su®shine. She liked being outside. She ran and jump ed and rode her tricycle, BESfcOFFEEVAUIE FLAVOR and QUALITY i I rfyidtinnt INSTANT COFFEE with the percolated taste LEARN* • LIVE • SERVE Burnsville Super Market & PETE S SNACK BAR g|o FOUR-H Preparation For Living HP A |%C —For Clearer Thinking, For better IlEfwJ Judgment for tomorrow.
