What Is 4-H Work
(Continued from Front Page)
tion of the projects in which he is
oncst interested is given to each
4-H’er, thus giving him an oppor
tunity to learn to make decisions
for himself.
We 4MH’ers are trained in rifle
practice, methods of demonstra
tions, reading, public speaking and
other activities. This means much
to us in our lives today and will
contribute much to our future.
My five years of 4-H work have
meant a great deal to me. 4-H club
work has become a part of me
and time spent with my projects
is not regretted.
I have had many different pro
jects, with some of which I have
won ribbons and cash prizes, with
others I have only gained exper
ience, which will be valuable for
future use.
It was in 1948 that I exhibited
my first beef calf and was suc
cessful in winning a prize. The
next spring I went back, hoping to
do better and did, winning second
premium of the lightweight class.
Going home with more determina
tion, f set to work with another
calf project, and with this one I
received Grand Champion award of
the show.

Last year I went to the District
Achievement medt in Americus
with a demonstration on forestry
for which I was given an award of
merit. Since I had a project in
forestry, I was given a trip to
Caimp Wahsega, a beautiful camp
in the foothills of the Blue Ridge
Mountains. Classes were held con
cerning wildlife, conservation and
forestry.
I have carried projects in cook
ing, serwing, rifle, forestry, beef
calf, home improvement and
poultry.
The poultry chain is sponsored
by Sears each year in order to
create interest among boys and
girls and teach them better ways
of caring for the best types of
chickens. A thousand baby chicks
are distributed among ten 4-H’ers
in each county. Last year I was a
memlber of the poultry chain and
found that raising chickens is not
only a pleasure but requires a
large amount of work. I was
awarded a blue ribbon and ten
dollars in prize money.
I was also given a trip to the
iState Council meeting in Milledge.
ville where a thousand boys and
girls compare and exchange ideas
so that each one can make im
provements in his 4-H club. An
other thing which I am proud of
is the holding of two medals,
Achievement and Rigls Record,
which were presented to me at a
chapel program in the high school.
Remember that our 4-H motto
is “To Make the Best Better,”
and we are striving to do this in
our, club, our community, and our
county.
State Camp of

brisk hike up the mountain side.
While we were hiking, we learned
about the trees surroundng us, we
learned their names, what was
manufactured from each, the im
portance of our wildlife, soil con
servation, and our forests. I never
realized there was so much to
learn aibout them.
, Yes, we did learn many things
while we were at Camp Wahsega,
but the most important thing we
learned was how to get along with
other people and how to appreciate
them more.
Buck Roberts won first place
in the rifle contest in Americus,
and went to Camp Wahsegia to
compete with the others in the
state, here he won second place,
coming within ten points of win-
ning first.
My trip to Camp Wahsega gave
me a better understanding of the
things I hardly knew existed. It
brought me closer to some of the
people who believe in the same
things I do, the ones who took the
same pledge I did:
I pledge my head to clearer
thinking, my heart to greater loy
alty, my hand to larger service,
and my health to better living, for
my club, my community, and
country. If we abide by this pledge,
surely there will be a better world
in which to live.
Mrs. George Trawick and Mr.
Royee C. Hall were our advisors
on the trip.
The 1950 Junior
Pig Show
(By John Emory Trawick, Pres.,
Junior High 4-H Club)
The 1950 junior pig shew was
held at Seminole Stock Yards last
September. There were about
•thirty pigs at this pig show. My
sister, Ina Trawick, won grand
champion and third prize in her
class and I won second with my
pig in the heavy weight division.
We keep our pigs plenty of corn,
protein supplement, green grass,
minerals and fresh water.
I learned from my pigs that if
yon should' have a good thrifty
hog, I think the best today fs the
medium type Duroc.
Hogs are good animals to raise
