Oconee County 4-H Clubs Get
Backing of Farm Organizations
WATKINSVILLE.—Oconee County 4-H clubs, lacking a
Jarge number of business enterprises to sponsor their pro
jects, depend almost wholly upon farm organizations for
iheir backing. And the Farm Bureau and other organiza
tions are doing a wonderful job of encouraging the county’s
300 members in their work, Frank E. Stancil, county agent,
<aid this week as club members in the county and through
out the nation celebrate National 4-H Week,
It’s not that our business estab
-lishments won't back 4-H club
members in their projects, Stancil
explained. “It’s just that we don’t
have the businesses.”
Ag Income
Oconee County depends largely
ypon agricultural income, One
million dollars of the county’s little
over a million income last year
came from farm products, the
county agent said.
The Farm Bureau and other
.rm organizations have sponsored
iivestock shows, corn contests, cot
-lon projects, dress making projects
and other activities.
The bureau has presented cash
awards to the winners in the con
iests, and will this year support a
corn contest between 4-H clubs,
ihe FFA, and adult farmers.
Stancil believes the competitive
spirit will be at its best when these
ihree groups try to outproduce
each other in the corn fields.
Corn and cotton have been and
¢till are, popular projects with
Oconee 4-H members. Stancil said
{hat 119 completed corn and cotton
projects last year. One 4-H club
mmeber, Clarence Thornton, jr.,
of the Bogart club was initiated
into the 100-bushel Corn' Club.
Billy Saxon, 4-H member from
Watkinsville, produced 1,492
pounds of seed cotton t owin the
first prize award of $lO in the
Northeast Georgia Extension dis
irict.
Outstanding Work i
Carlton Fullimore, president of
ihe Bishop Junior 4-H club last
vear won a $25 saving bond for
outstanding work on his dairy pro
ject.
Bill Fullimore, Victor Hale and
Harold Hawley made up the judg
ing team that won first prize in
the University of Georgia daily
day program livestock judging
contest last year. They received a
vevistered calf as their prize.
\lrs. Effie B. Gay, Oconee Coun
-4v home demonstration agent, said
4-H girls in the county last year
emphasized one-dish meal pro
jects. Many of them have com
pleted bread making projects, and
plans will be made this year for
gardening activity, Mrs. Gay said.
There are seven clubs in the
county, and members can seek the
information of 52 advisers, 28 wo
men and 24 men.

4-H Clothing
Do S
Program DSet
With one eye on spring and the
¢ther on their pocketbook, Geor
gia 4-H elub girls are off to a gnod
tart in the 1950 National 4-H
clothing achievement program.
More than 36,900 girls took part in
x e activity througout the state
ast year,
Local club leaders and Exension
Fervice agents teach the girls to
sclect attractive patterns, buy good
fabrics, and plan a practical war
drobe. Hats, bags an dother acces
sories are also designed at consid
@ble savings.
Two million garments were
mode by approximately 591,000
4-H members in 1949.
Another phase of the clothing
program is learning how to remod
el out-of-date dresses and coats.
M:-mg girls stretch the family bud
get by making over apparel for
gounger brothers and sisters.
The Spool Cotton Company,
sponsor of the program, provides,
scholarship awards of S3OO each to
the 12 top ranking girls in the na
tion; an all-expense trip to the Na
tional 4-H congress in Chicago for
the state champion; and gold me
dals for county winners. Juanita
Blakey, of Sylvania, was the 1949
winner in Georgla. Sixty-five girls
peceived eounty medals. The pro
gram is eonducted under the sup
#rvision of the Extension Service.

The tomato’s popularity is well-deserved. It is easily grown, can
be served in a great variety of ways and has excellent nutrition
value, High in Vitamin C content, it has been called the “poor
man’s orange.” It is a waste of time, money and effort for the home
gardener to try to grow tomatoes from seed. Your seed store man
can provide good young plants of right size at the time you set
them out. Remember that the tomato is a warm-weather vegetable
and therefore should not be planted until all danger of frost is past.
Tomato plants give a heavy yield, so don’t plant too many. About
three plants per person will supply the needs of the average

4-H Clinics
- 1
On Gardening
Are Planned
Plans are being completed for
holding 13 Georgia 4-H club
gardening clinics right out in the
members’ gardens this spring, with
the first clinic scheduled for late
April, according to R. J. Richard=-
son, assistant state 4-H club leader,
and Flmo Ragsdale, gardening
specialist for the Extension Serv
Approximately 37,000 Georgia 4-
H club boys and girls participated
in garden projects last year, Rich~
ardson said, and at least this many
members are expected to enter the
project in 1950. Details for held
ing the clinics are being worked
out now as club boys and giris
throughout the state are complet
ing the celebration of National 4-H
Club Week.
County Extension agents and
Ragsdale and Richardson will su
pervise the clinics, and they are
inviting, in addition to the club
boys and girls, the parents of the
4-H’ers and the adult advisers who
help the members with their va
ried project activities.
Included in the program at each
of the clinies will be demonstra
tions on testing for soil acidity,
seed testing, controlling insects and
diseases, transplanting, and general
garden management. Also, the
club members will be given in
structions for keeping records on
their garden projects.
Richardson pointed out that this
year the H. G. Hastings Company,
Atlanta will again sponsor free
trips for gardening work (o six
boys and six girls, one boy and
one girl from each Extension Serv
ice district in the state, to the
Georgia 4-H Club Congress in At
lanta in October,
State gardening winners, one
boy and one girl, will receive free
trips to the National 4-H Club
Congress in Chicago in December.
H. G. Hastings Company sponsors
one of these trips and Allis Chalm
ers Corporation the other.
“Every 4-H club member who
has a garden project_in 1950 is
urged to keep accurate production
‘records,” Richardson suggests, “be
cause those who keep good records
and who take an active part in the
’community 4-H club program
ibuild a strong all-round club re
cord and such records help to win
for outstanding boys and girls edu
cational trips and awards.”
