LOCAL LEADERS IN 4-H CLUB WORK By MISS VELMA BEAM County Home Agent Training is unquestionably one of the most important factors in the development of worthwhile citizens. This is where the local leaders play a leading role in the 4-H club programme of work. With a background of experience in their own living these adult local leaders are well-qualified to guide and direct the youthful citizens in their respective com munities. The local leader can be of great servce to the club member, the Extension Agents, and to his community by assisting with the selection and supervision of the club projects. The club project should be a demonstration of a better practice in agriculture or home-making,-and should fit into the program of extension work being conducted in the commu nity. Local leaders are made con scious of the aims of the work by attending the training schools held for that purpose, either by the Extension Agents or Specialists from State College. It requires very little time and effort and ■ affords the opportunity of getting new ideas, sugestions and meth ods for conducting the work. Local leaders not only act in a supervisory and advisory capacity to their clubs, but they help with individual projects, and secure records from the members in their clubs. They also help in the selection of a club project, pre ferably a community service, which should be large enough to challenge the efforts of all club members. It is the duty of the leaders to recognize and help develop the abilities of club members, realiz ing that worthwhile folks do not just happen. Folks are not born worthwhile, and it is the job of the leader to help the youngsters develop into the man or woman they ought to be. In the words of Robert Louis Stevenson: “Soon er or later we sit down to the banquet of consequences.’’ “Learn by Doing” is the watch word of the 4-H club work, and to grow quality into life a leader must learn to direct the wanting, the thinking and the doing in or der to get worthwhile results. The leaders in Person County are volunteer workers and through their helpful it is to be hoped for our boys and girls will be able to lead useful and happy lives. ■ o WOOL Increased domestic and for eign demand for wool brought a bout by the European War and reduced supplies of wool in the United States will tend to sup port domestic wool prices in 1940.

FARM . • T QUESTIONS ANSWERED Question: What is the best green feed for poultry during the winter? v Answer; Cured alfalfa hay, les pedeza, or clover hay make good greens for winter use provided the green color is retained. Alfal fa leaf meal, if green in color, also makes a satisfactory feed, but should net constitute more than ten percent of the mash. This feed is much preferred to alfalfa meal which has a high fiber content, but of the two I neither is as satisfactory as green, alfalfa hay. All the hays should be fed in racks as the birds will eat only the leaves and the stems can then be thrown in the litter. • Question: Should shade trees be pruned in winter the same as fruit trees or shrubs? Answer: No! Many beautiful, groves are ruined each year by quack tree surgeons or by super- \ stitious persons. Shade trees j should be allowed to form their natural shape and if there are too many trees, thin them out rather than cut them back. For scale control, the trees should be sprayed with lime-sul phur or miscible oil. The same treatment should be applied to fruit trees and shrubs. Be sure that the air is still and not too cold when the spray is applied.

For graduation from school it was necessary for each pupil to pas a sound test to be sure that the “cons” spoke authentic prison lingo. “Mutiny in the Big Heuse” was suggested by the famous prison break of 1929 in Cannon City, Colorado, when Father Patrick O’Neil herocially quelled the riot.
