MY 4-H PROJECT ACHIEVE
MENTS
When I started out in 4-H Club
work I didn’t realize what it was to
mean to me later. After six years
of 4-H work, I now know the value
of it. The first two years I just
worked some now and then, the last
four years were different. I came
to realize that I would have to real
ly work instead of doing some work
then stopping if I got anywhere. I
only wish I could tell each boy and
each girl who has started out in 4-
H Clubs, to start building up a re
cord and working from the very be
ginning. I wish 1 could tell them
that we are America’s coming gen
eration, and that 4-H is preparing
us, so that we may fill the place bet
ter.
The first year I*carried out such
projects as chickens, a calf and a
garden. I started that year a small
orchard in which I set out a few
peach, pear and apple trees and a
few grape vines and three pecan
trees. I planted just a very small
garden. I sowed the seed my Moth
er and Daddy gave me which weren’t
so many, and I cultivated it (ex
cept plowing.)
My Daddy gave me a calf and my
mother gave me the eggs to set from
which my few chickens wore hatch
ed. I raised them and kept the
pullets. That year I was just be
ginning to sew and the only things
I made was an apron and cap. I
knew how to cook, though, for I had
to fix my school lunches. Then my
mother was sick part of the time and
that was my first real experience at
cooking.
That fall after I had sold a few
products from my garden, and sold
a few chickens and eggs, I received
about seven dollars. I kept my calf
for I wanted to raise another calf.
I increased my orchard which was
not yet bearing.
The second year I still had the

EGG AND CHEESE DISHES
Because they are light and deli
cate in flavor egg and cheese dishes
are particularly palatable. There
are many ways of preparing these
foods—alone, or in combination. Try
some of these new stunts and see if
the family doesn’t respond.
tt t t
POACHED EGGS IN RICE NESTS
1 cup raw rice.
1 tablespoon salt.
1-3 cup butter.
1- cup flour.
3 cups milk.
1 1-2 cups grated cheese.
2- cup sliced stuffed olives.
Salt and pepper.
8 eggs.
Pour rice in strainer and rinse
well under cold water before cook
ing. Add salt to about 3 quarts of
water. When it boils rapidly add
rice and cook until tender but not
mushy. Drain in colander when
done and pour boiling water over
the rice to *inse out starchy water.
Put the strainer of rice over the pan
in which it was cooked and cover
with a clean dry towel and then the
lid of the pan. The rice will keep
hot and fluffy this way for about 10
minutes. While the rice is cooking
make the sauce; melt the butter in a
saucepan over low heat. Blend in
flower until smooth and bubbly. Re
move from heat. Add grated cheese
and season to taste with salt and
pepper. Add sliced olives last.
Poach eggs. Make a nest of rice on
each plate. Place a poached egg in
each nest. Sprinkle salt and pepper
over each egg and pour the sauce
over all.
tt t t
EGGS IN BREAD ROUNDS
4 slices bread.
4 tablespoons butter.
4 eggs.
Salt, pepper.
Bacon.
Cut slices of bread in large
heifer, chickens, and orchard. That
year, I raised about thirty-five chick
ens from my hens. I kept the pul
lets and sold the roosters. I had a
larger garden plot; I bought the seed
and increased the number of vegeta
bles in my garden. I used for my
fertilizer, compost, so the fertilizer
cost very little. That same year I
made a dress and entered the Style
Revue. I also began making simple
things for myself. I liked to cook
and began cooking meals by myself
so that my mother would have time
to uo something else. That fall I
sold the heifer. That year my total
sales from heifer, garden, chickens,
and eggs were twenty-five dollars.
In the third year I kept my same
project but I had increased them all
to a larger scale That year I sold
all of my old hens and kept the
young pullets. With the money, I
bought a hundred small chicks and
raised seventy-eight of them; selling
the roosters.
In my garden I planted more of
each kind of vegetables and planted
new kinds. I had a small calf to be
raised also. My orchard began bear
ing and that summer I canned, and
helped my mother can. Together we
canned around three hundred quarts.
I entered the Style Revue again that
year, and by then I could make al
most all of my clothes. In cooking I
prepared meals three to four times a
week. I began to learn how to make
light bread which was something new
and fascinating to me. That fall
from my garden, chickens and eggs
( received around eighteen dollars,
this year I did not sell a calf. From
this money, I bought my school sup
plies and clothes.
The fourth year I kept raising
chickens, and selling them. I had a
larger garden and I bought the ferti
lizer I put <sn it with money I had
saved from the previous years, I
canned one hundred fifty cans from
my orchard that year, and I entered
the Ball canning contest.
I entered the Style Revue again
that year and won third place. By
that time I had taken complete con
trol of my wardrobe and did all of
my sewing. Cooking had by that
time become one of my part time
jobs. That fall after selling my
usual garden products, chickens and
eggs, I received twenty-eight dollars.
I kept the heifer I had the year be
fore.
That same year I was one of the
five girls out of my county who went
to the Southeastern Fair.
The fifth year I added anew pro
ject to my old ones. My Daddy gave
me a gilt that yeai\ I raised a litter
of pigs and received twenty dollars
rounds. With a small cutter remove
center, leaving 2 1-2 inch rim.
Brown one side of bread in butter

1-3 cup margarine.
2 cups grated American cheese.
3 cups milk.
3 eggs, slightly beaten.
1-2 teaspoon salt.

for them. I kept my garden as a
project, but on a larger scale, than
ever before. I sold my old hens and
bought small chicks, which I rawed
and sold. I canned two hundred
quarts that year and again entered
the Ball Canning Contest. I won
first place and received one dollar.
I entered the Style Revue and
again won third place. I learned
übout the Food Preparation contest
and I like to cook, so I entered it
and won second place. That year I
won the general excellence medal,
which was given by the county. That
fall from all of my projects I receiv
ed forty-five dollars. That same
year I was chosen to represent my
county at the Leadership conference
held at Athens, Georgia.
This year ngain I sold a litter of
pigs, getting twenty-five dollars for
them. I still have my old garden
spot and I have entered a garden
contest. 1 bought one hundred
more chicks this year and sold them.
From my orchard I have canned two
hundred and fifty quarts. I have
again entered the Ball canning con
test. I entered the Style Revue and
again won second place.
Through cooking I have learned
many things which are useful to my
home and me, so Food Preparation
has become one of my main projects.
I entered the bread contest and won
third place.
From my projects this year I have
received about one hundred fifty-five
dollars. I have a small calf to sell
and I have a cotton patch which is
one acre. The fertiliser was given
to me, through a fertilizer dealer
citizen of Jackson County.
I am now a junior in high school
and about all the money I have earn
ed is kept in the bank to help with
college expenses later.
I have carried on a wildlife pro
ject for two years and this year I
won a free trip to the State Wildlife
camp. For my project in Wildlife
I carried, fish, soil and water, quail,
star study, insects, flowers, trees,
shrubs, and vines. I have a fish
pond in which I raise fish. I turn
these fish loose in the streams around
my home. I keep the streams clean
ed out so that the fish might thrive
better. I have catfish, brim, and
some channel cats in the pond.
I have made three scrapbooks on
flowers, insects, trees and shrubs,
birds, soils and water, fish and stars.
I have planted quail coverage on
the run down soil on our land. I
have stopped up the gullies and I
have helped make terraces. I have
also set out twenty-five small pines
on run down land. I have planted
wheat, rye, barley, and oats for quail

I have had our land posted as one
means of protecting wildlife on our
farm.
I planned, cooked and served all
the meals at our home without help
for one week. The menus were
made out and checked ahead of
time. It was my aim to get the food
requirements each day, and to be
able to serve foods that were whole
some, tasty, and attractive. Each
days menu included milk, fruits,
vegetables, and a whole grain cereal,
eggs, bread, meats and an adequate
amount of sweets. I spent only 50c
that week for my meals as the foods
used were home grown.

DANGEROUS SLEEP
Motorists who continue to drive,
although aware they are apt to fall
asleep at the wheel can be found
guilty of gross negligence, according
to a recent ruling of the full bench
of Massachusetts Supreme Judicial
Court. In rendering its decision the
court said:
Without undertaking to lay down
a rule that falling asleep is always
evidence of gross negligence, at least
it may be said that the danger of
driving while heavy with drowsiness
is so extreme and so self-evident
that one who, with knowledge that
he is in that condition, persists in
driving without making the neces
sary effort to arouse himself, can
be grossly negligent.
The court sustained a verdict
against a Bristol County motorist
who fell asleep while driving, in
juring his father, mother, sister and
brother-in-law.

BIRDS AGAIN WING
SOUTHWARD; JUST
WHY, NONE KNOWS
An army without banners is drift
ing south across the face of Ameri
ca, in full retreat.
It is the nrmy of birds, on fall
migration. Unlike the gay legions
that flew north in spring, it lacks
song and is uniformed in dull colors
that gain hardly more than passing
notice except from tuners scanning
the skies for ducks.
Ducks of course are but a small
portion of the whole. Most of the
robins that chorused in the spring,
most of the bluebirds that caused
village poets to break into print,
steal South unnoticed.
The army is in retreat, but from
what? No one knows for certain.
The obvious answer that it is
fleeing cold weather does not quito
hold water. Witness the occasional
bird that stays in the North because
it has been held up by sickness un
til after its migratory urge has pass
ed. And then, of course, many
species make a habit of remaining in
the North.
This is only one of the paradoxes
that have puzzled students and led
to tall stories.
The real enigams are only repeat
ing groat racial movements dictated
in ancient times by the advance and
retreat of the glacial ice cap. In
any event, the depletion of food sup
plies up North during the winter is
an important consideration.
Once launched on their journey
the birds follow different paths and
different time schedules.
Land-bound naturalists used to
gaze aloft in awe and estimate bird
speeds at fabulous figures. Today
they know that ducks and geese rare
ly hit 60, that a woodcock may throt
tle down to five miles an hour.
But there is still room for fable.
It’s pretty well authenticated that
duck hawks stooping to their prey
hit it up to 165 miles an hour and
that the cloud swifts of the West In
dies reach speeds of 150 miles.
Even more marvelous are some of
the distance flights. The golden
plover, now a rarity, hops off from
Nova Scotia and next sees land in
South America, 2,400 miles away.
The Carolina rail, which would rath
er walk, easily flies across the Carib
bean.
Champion migrant of all is the
Arctic tern which enjoys more dav
light than any other living creature.
It spends summers as far North as
there is land. Then crossing the
Atlantic via Iceland to Europe, it
goes to the Antarctic 11,000 miles
away for the summer.
How does it find its way? No one
knows.
