4—II CLUB WEEK
By (ilrnna McGinnis
President Forsyth County Senior
4—H Club
Since the week of February 28
to March 7 is National 4-H week
we would like to give you a brief
history of the 4-H Club.
' 4-H Club work grew out of a :
situation and a need in rural Ameri i
ca. It has its roots in many places,
and many people guided the move
ment in it’s formative years. Var
ious agricultural leaders began dis
covering that one of the best ways
to get scientific methods used on
farms and in homes was to start
with youth.
Between 1901 and 1905 interested
leaders of these groups began to
get together to talk over their
common aims and set up general
patterns for organization and acti
vity. Some years later they adopt
ed the 4H name and emblem. In
1914 Congress passed the Smith —
Lever Act, including agriculture
and home economics, and what was
then known as “boys and girls
club work."
The 2,201,500 youth between 10—
21 years of age, who belong to
nearly 90.700 local 4-H clubs thru
out the V. S. carry on widely var
ied projects in farming, homemak
ing community services and other
activities. They raise livestock and
poultry, grow gardens and field
crops, conserve the soil, sew, cook,
preserve food, and improve their
homes and drural and non-rural
areas. In keeping with their motto,
they strive “to make the best
better”. For a well rounded life,
they enjoy play and recreation as
well as interesting, worthwhile
work. Character development and
good citizenship are their most
significant goal.
The national 4-H emblem is a
four-leaf clover, with a letter H
on each leaf. Club colors are green
and white.
The white background of the
4-H flag symbolizes purity; the
green of the emblem represents
nature's most common color, and
is also symbolic of youth, life and
growth. The national pledge reads:
“I pledge
My Head to clearer thinking,
M y Heart to greater loyalty,
My Hands to larger service,
My Health to better living, for
my club, my community and
my country.
The 4-H club idea now circles
the globe. More than 40 countries,
in widely separated areas of the j
world, have adopted all or part
of the plan.
Wherever there are 4-H club
members strive individually and
with each other for better citizen
ship, better living, better family
cooperation, and better world un
derstanding.
Forsyth County has 1.020 4-H
club members belonging to 20
clubs. The clubs meet monthly in
the schools. Each club has it s
own officers and adult advisers
who work with the club members.
The Forsyth County 4-H Club
members partieipate in various ac
tivities that pretain to the 4-H
program, such as. county and dis
trict achievement meetings, 4-H
camp, state 4-H Council, and the
state 4-H Congress.
4 H CLUB COUNCIL MEETS
The Forsyth County 4-H Coun
cil met on Saturday, February 21.
1959 at the County Agricultural
Building. The meeting was called
to order by the President, Sue
Com. After saying the pledges to
the American and 4-H Flags, we
had the devotion. We then went
into the business session. There
were 20 members present.
Everyone support 4-H Club week
that is coming up February 28—
March 7.

EFFICIENT FEEDING
and MANAGEMENT
By Dr. Gustav Bohstedt
Emeritus Professor of Animal Husbandry
University of Wisconsin
Self-Feeding A Salt-Oil Meal Mix
In Cold Weather
, The practice of using salt
as a governor of consumption
of oil meal, or protein concen
trate,when self-fed,has caught
or. amazingly fast, especially
In the range country.
A great deal of labor is
thereby saved in not needing
■ o look aftei stock every day
in some distant part of the
ranch, but
merely filling - *
trato. These p, r . Rohatcdt
or similar
propci tion 1 : '.hen prompt the
eatlie to -at from one to two
pounds nil mes! 2 day, as de
sired by the owner or man
age,-.
Naturally ihe intake of salt
ir greater than is ordinarily
required by the livestock, but
many exp riments at various
■vest.rn and southwestern ex
periment stations, including
the U.S.D.A. Southern Great
Plains Field Station at Wood
ward, Oklahoma, have demon
strated that both cattle and
sheep, growing as well as
breeding stock, liavo come
through such a feeding prac
tice in excellent condition. An
intake for w eeks on end of one
half pound salt or more daily
per head in the case of cattle,
and correspondingly smaller
amounts in the ease of sheep,
caused no difficulty.
Where winter conditions are
r-ally severe, as in some
.northern parts of the range
country, it is advisable to bear
this in mind: Better not feed
*he salt-oil meal mixture in a
pelleted form, for in this con
dition it can be eaten too
rapidly. This would not be the
case with a mixture in the
form of a meal, where the
salt would have more of an
inhibitory effect on consump
tion. Better also take some
time to get cattle accustomed
to the large proportion of
salt, especially when used with
feed in a pelleted form.
These precautions have im
portance also in relation to ac
cessible drinking water. Under
such feeding and management
conditions in severely cold
weather, water should not be
at too great a distance, and
should if at all possible be
readily drinkable instead of
being at the point of congeal
ing into ice.
This problem with pelleted
salt-oil meal mixtures appears
to be confined to far northern
regions, or those subject to ex
tremely cold spells, rather
than to the southwestern part
of the country where milder
temperatures prevail.
Question: While feeding out
of a silo filled with corn silage,
we meet with moldy pockets of
sometimes green, sometimes
white mold. Is there danger in
feeding such moldy silage?
Answer: Where moldy silage
of different colors, pink, green,
or white, has been fed experi
mentally to susceptible ani
mals, they have not been sick
ened or killed by it. So, while
molded silage represents a loss
in palatability and nutritive
value, it usually is not poison
ous. Nevertheless, some molds
have been discovered among
mixtures of molds, that are
harmful. Therefore you should
always look upon moldy feed
with suspicion. Do not feed it
in quantity, or to the most
valuable animals. P : eep and
horses are especially sens:live
to moldy feed.
