Three Contests
On Accounting
Been Announced
Objectives and eligilbility rules
were outlined this week by County
Agent M. L. Powell for contests
on farm, home and crops account
ing. Records of competing club
members must cover a period of 12
months sometime between January
1, 1940 and March 1, 1941.
The agent said all three contests
on accounting are designed to help
4-H club members obtain and man
age an income, understand the use
of good business methods, and
contribute to better living stan
dards in the home and on the farm
through keeping of records.
All participants must have pass
ed their 15th birthday and must
not be over 21 years of age. They
must not have been enrolled in a
college giving credit beyond high
school until the fall of 1940. Cur
rent activity in 4-H work is requir
ed of all contnestants.
Gold-filled medals will be award
ed county winners in each of the
three contest phases. Twelve edu
cational trips each to the National
4-H Club Congress will be given to
sectional winners in both farm and
home accounting. Crop enterprise
accounting will provide eight free
trips to the Congress sectional win
ners.
In the national competition, eight
scholarships of S2OO each, two to
each Extension section, will be
awarded in farm accounting. Home
accounting affords four scholar
ships of S2OO each, one to each
Extension division.
Mr. Powell said, for farm, home
and enterprise accounting projects
that completeness, accuracy and
neatness will count 50 points, while
the narrative summary and analy
sis on projects will count the other
50 points toward determining the
winners.
