Cumming, Georgia. 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. LOST —White and la>mon Spotted Male Fox Dog.

Today the situation is revtrsed. say economists at the Agricultural Extension Service. The first school of forestry in the South was established at the University of Georgia in 1906. A patriot is a man who does not camplain about the taxes he expects to pay on the profit he would like to make. An aditor who gets too smart for his readers ought to be fired or retired unless his relatives own the newspaper. Nearly everyone has an idea which could make a fortune; if you haven’t, maybe you’re sub-normal. 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.
