Our 4-H Meetings
and Socials
(By Shirley Ingram, Girls Vice-
President, Co. Council)
Our meetings are held once each
month at night or after school.
The club members conduct the
meetings and some sort of inter
esting program is presented by
the members, the county and home
demonstratino agent, or both. At
our meetings the members are able
to discuss any project, activities
or any other business which may
not be clear to them. You may
discuss your ..project with the
county or home demonstration
leader at any time.
We have had two socials this
year. One was held at the high
school gym. There we sang songs,

of the prizes. *
I was third place winner for the
past year. The kind of corn I
planted was Dixie 18, and the yield
was 58 bushels per acre. On the
acre of corn, I used 600 pounds of
4-8-6, 200 pounds of soda and it
was planted behind a cover crop.
Dixie 18 will yield more corn per
acre than other kind of corn and
it will keep just as well.

My 4-H Chib
Pasture
(By Percy Hornsby)
I started my pasture about two
years ago. I thought I would
raise some cattle because our pea
nut quota was cut. Raising cattle
for profit would be worthwhile.
I disced my pasture once and
then broadcast 400 pounds of. 4-8-6
per acre. I sowed 4 bushels of
Bancroft oats per acre and disced
it under. Later on I sowed 20
pounds of Common Bahia grass
per acre. Then I broadcast 100
pounds of Ammonium nitrate per
acre. Later on I planted 25 pounds
of Kobe Leapedeza per acre and
100 pounds of Pensacola Bahia,
which I think makes a good pas
ture.
Later on we sowed 20 pounds
of Clover per acre and followed it
with 150 pounds of phosphate. I
am going’ to put 400 pounds of
4-8-6 per acre as soon as it rains,
then I will put some Lespedeza on
it.
You want to shift your cattle
around from one pasture to anoth
er if you want to have a good
pasture.
Planting grass on your poor land
is just like planting peanuts on
poor land. You have to plant the
grass on good land just like you
do peanuts. A small pasture will
help very much if it is well sodded.
Five acres of pasture or five acres
of peanuts; you e*n make just as
much froth 5 acres of pasture as
you can from 5 acres of peanuts.
I won $12.60 in first year pas
ture in 4-H club in Seminole coun
ty in 1949.
The 4-H is a very good club for
boys girls. I have beep a
4-H’er sot about 7 years. I went
to the District Achievement meet
ing in A-mefieus about two year
ago. I learned a great deal |>y
watehingr club members complete
in the District contests. I found
out there was a lot more tq 4-Jtf
club work than just having a pro
ject.
The 4-H County
Camp
(By M. T. Simmons)
Excitement fills every 4-H club
member as camp time draws near.
Everyone who is active in 4-H club
work is allowed to attend camp.
The cost of attending last year
was five dollars, plus food, which
each member carried.
The 1950 club camp was held at
Laura S. Walker State Park near
Waycross with 43 club members
and 7 advisors attending from
June 19 to 23.
After arriving at camp Monday
afternoon we were divided into
cabin groups of eight. We became
situated and were taken to the
lake for a swim before supper.
Each afternoon we enjoyed vesper
services by the lake. Tuesday
morning we were seperated into
4 groups for group instruction.
Our group instructors were: Mr.
Dorsey Dyer, extension forester;
Mr. J. H. Harrell, assistant state
wildlife ranger; Miss Ida Hayes,
-handicraft instructor; and Miss
Marie Hall recreation instructor.
While at camp we enjoyed our
two daily swims, our softball
games, a visit to the Okefenokee
Park, a visit to a forestry tower,
square dancing each night, movies
shown by Mr. Ragan and singing
led by Mrs.*Roy Jones.
It was a trulfc disappointing mo
ment when we boarded the bus and
left the camp behind. I believe that
all 4-H club members and advisors
will look forward to attending the
camp in years to come.
