By E. L. TOPPING
, Assistant . County Agent' -
' The 4-H column this week will at-
' tempt to further explain the 4-H pro-
gram to the parents of una county.
Many parents, I believe who in the
' past have .taken no interest in , the
4-H activities, would play a more
important role " if they had' a better
understanding of th$4-H lUluo orf.
The 4-H club is a nation wide or
ganization conducted by the United
State Department of lAgncuiture , in
cooperation with the North Carolina
State .. College of 'Agriculture and
your county. The 4-H has as its ob
jective to give ' your boy and girl
training in better practices in agri
culture and home making, and in the
broader phases of community organi
zation and the finer, more significant
things of life. We mold the destiny
of our future through youtn organs
zations of thia' type.
The basis of the 4-H program was
established on . project activity.
Through the project the 4-H Clubber
should find the pride of . ownership
and a reasonable profit if it is pro-
i nerly carried out
' 'i" When 4-H projects turn out to be
"John's Pig and Daddy's Hog", or
if "Diary's chicks and Mama's hens" the
very basis of the 4-H project is des
troyed. Nothing discourages 'a boy
: ! or girl so much as being deprived
of, the profits from a project tney
' have so . faithfully carried out. I
have heard parents say, when it . was
- suggested that their 4-H boy be al-
lowed to own a crop or animal, that
' their parents never gave them respon
sibilities of this nature when they
were growing up. This excuse for not
. allowing four boy or girl to own a
pig or acre of corn seems to be the
best reason I have heard why the
parents should do everything possi
ble to help and encourage this boy
. . . or girl to carry to completion a pro-
fitsble project Others say they can't
afford a project. If one would stop
long enough to check the record, of
some of the active 4-H members in
thia county you would have to admit
that you can't afford not to start your
boy on a project We have '4- mem'
bers in this county who have not only
done their part of the family chores,
but , with their 4-H projects have
earned enough money to buy all the.r
clothes,' earned all their spending
money," and started a good bank ac
count You as a parent have a very
definite part in making the 4-H
achievements and the other activities
of your boy or a girl a success, s 5 ?
Many of our 4-H members in thi
county are becoming - purebred hog
breeders. Of course, we all .know
that' greatest production is' realized
by cross breeding in a awine program.
However, pure-Ared animals must be
raised in order to have something to
cross and should sell lor a premium
on the market . This premium is
what the boys are going to shoot
for. - These 4-H members feel that, if
we can't get enough good pure bred
pigs in the county that we should
be able hold a 4-H pure bred hog sale.
Naturally this can't he done unless we
have the backing of the farmers and
business men of this area. I have
talked to several farmers and bus
ness men of the county about - this
4-H hog sale and most of them talk
very encouraging. If there are any
of you whom I haven t talked to who
sre interested and will give your sup
port, let me know how you feel about
it.
Some of the 4-H boys now owninsr
pure bred hogs are Thomas Chappell
f the Bethel Community, Alton Ray
Stallings out toward the (Beech
Springs vicinity, Clarence Chappell,
Jr., of the Belvidere section, JtSen
Skinner on the New Hope road, Seth
Morgan of Winfall, Kay Twine near
Belvidere, John 'William Oiappeil, out
toward Chappell Hill and several
others.
(Several pure bred hog breeders in
the county have agreed j to furnish
pure bred gilts on credit to 4-H mem
bers who want to get started on a
brood sow project So far,, however,
only purebred Duroc (Breeder Preston
Nixon has been, called op to furnish
4-H gilts on' credit , Mr. Nixon lets
the 4-H boy pick out any gily he has,
then they agree on a lair price Mr.
Nixon absorbs the expense of vaccin
nation, registration, transporting the

enough. Any 4-H jne- -er that . 7nts
a 4-H gilt on credit should contact me
and 111 introduce him to soim of our1
purebred breeders. Incidently, any
of you hog raisers that get tired of
hauling water to your pigs every day
