Eagle we had to find our cabins
and get unpacked. Our cabin
number 48. When we had fin
ished unpacking Franklin Moss
and I went to look around the
center.
About 3:00 o'clock that af
ternoon we went swimming
and after this dinner was serv
ed at 6:00 o'clock. On Thurs
day night, we went to the
theatre to watch the installa
tion 4-H member of the new
Northwest District Council
Officers, After office installa
tion, we could do square danc
ing, or go to a theatre and
watch some eomics. That night
at 11:00 o’clock we went to bed
on time because it had been a
hard day.
On Friday morning we got
up bright and early. After
breakfast, I gave my demon
stration on Forestry. In my
demeonstration I told how a
tree grows, named the main
parts of the tree and named
some of the diseases that de
stroy the tree.
After my demonstration 1
could enjoy the rest of the af
ter noon. At 12:00 o'clock we
had a fine lunch. After lunch
we could go back to the cabin to
look around the center. When
it was time to go swimming,
almost every body took ad
vantage of it. When it was time
to leave the pool everyone was
caught in the rain. The rain
did not last very long, so then
we could go out again. At 6:00
o'clock pm., we had a very
good dinner. After dinner we
could either go to a square
dance or to the theatre. When
it was time to go to bed, every
one did so.
When Saturday morning
came, the sun was out bright
and it was a warm day. Every
one got up and started to pack.
At 7:30 AM., we had a fine
breakfast and soon it was time'
to leave. Everyone boarded the
bus and we were on our way.
The trip back home was a
good one, but seemed longer
after a good three day stay at
Rock Eagle.

A strip to Rock Eagle Park!
How we were all looking for
ward to spending a few daysi
at the State 4-H Center during
our Northwest Distriet Project
Achieverment Meeting. We ar
rived at the County Extension
Office at noon and loaded our
suitcases and demonstration
materials on the County Agent’s
truck. Then we all piled into
the school bus which was to
take up to Rock Eagle. There
was a lot of laughing and talk
ing and everybody was happy
as we started out. After awhile
we began to see the signs tell
ing us we were not far from
Rock Eagle. And then there we
were unloading our suitcases
and getting settled in our cot
tage while Mr, Hunt, our
County Agent, registered for
us and got the schedule. This
schedule told us when we
would give our demonstrations,
the time to eat, when to go to
bed and everything we needed
to know.
By this time it was about 4:00
in the afternoon and getting
windy and cold and by the
time we were ready to eat, it
was raining. But nothing could
dampen our spirits. After we
ate there was a recreation pe
riod and we could dance, go
swimming, or just lie around.
And then it was time for every
body to assemble in Talmadge
Hall. There we sang, talked
about the demonstrations the
next day, and the election of
the district officers. After this
meeting we were ready to head
for our cottage and to bed for
tomorrow would be a busy day. |
We got up early and got‘
ready for the big day. Our|
County Agents saw that every- |
body got to the right place at|
the right time for their dem
onstrations. We were all very
excited and nervous after our
demonstrations and anxiously
waited for the winners to be
posted. We had recreation for
the rest of the day until as-|
sembly time when we had the'
parade of winners and installa- |
tion of the district officers. We ’
‘were all elated and before go- |
ing to bed had a little party |
for our group for Newton‘
County. |
' After a good night's sleep,
'we arose and prepared to leave.
After breakfast, we loaded
‘everything and boarded the
‘bus for home. All the way back |
to Covington we laughed and |
sang but we were all mighty
glad to get home. 3

THE COVINGTON NEWS
President Kennedy Congratulates 4-H
TO 4H CLUB MEMBERS:
Greetings and good wishes on your observance of
National 4-H Club Week. You deserve congratulations
for the fine record you have achieved in your program
stressing the four-fold development of Head, Heart,
Hands, and Health. In 4-H you develop mentally as
well as physically, benefiting from the guidance of
parents and public-spirited leaders. You also contribute
to a more responsible and competent citizenship —
which is today’s greatest challenge to young people.
I would commend you especially for your construc
tive and worthwhile efforts in learning to live and work
cooperatively with others. Your promotion of goodwill
and friendly association with other people, and ever
enlarging circles of friendship, will help bring about
better and happier relations at home and abroad.
Already you have built bridges of understanding to
more than 50 other lands with 4-H or parallel organi
zations, and I trust your program will continue to grow
and expand. May each of you influence other boys and
girls, other young men and women, to join you in learn
ing, living, and serving through 4-H.

How many bushels of grain do you feed your
poultry and livestock a year? 2,000 bushels? 10,000
bushels? That represents quite a bit of work and
money. Since you have that much invested, it's enly
natural that you would want the most VALUE from
your grain.
I'm referring to our Check-R-Mix Service. With
only small portions of Purina Concentrate—mixed ac
sording to Purina Research-approved formulas, you
turn your grain into high-efficiency rations,
| Studies show less packing in “organized” flock ... |
Every flock of chickens has a social order called
“peck' erder. In a small flock, every hen fights every
other hen, laarns which she can peck and which she
had better dodge. Scientific studies show pecking is
nearly eut in half when the flock becomes "organized”
—when each hen knews where she stands in the order.
If you mix flocks or add new birds, this process is re
peated to establish & new order.
.
How to fight Hog Scours, Necro
% When your hogs show signs of bacterial seours or enter
’ itis (Necro), it pays to medicate their ration with new Purina
2 b. ¢ ‘ Chek R-Furan. Chek-R-Furan is made with potent nf-180R te
;« P help control these costly hog diseases.

Eighty - seven Hereford
breeders were placed on the
Association’s official roster
during January. The associa
tion maintains active accounts
for more than 80,000 breed
ers of registered Herefords
over the nation.
The Hereford Association
during the last fiscal year re
corded 475,846 purebred calves.
The year’s total recordings
were the eighth highest on rec
Just bring your grain to our Check-R-Mix mill.
With our modern equipment, we will unload your
truck—and in a few minutes’ time fill ‘you back up
with quality feed in bag or bulk. And this is a HIGH.
EFFICIENCY ration that will give you more meet,
milk and eggs from your grain at low cosh
So drop by our store tomorrow and let's werk
out a low-cost Purina feeding plam for you—using
your own grain and Purina Concentrate.
Have new birds debsaked. Debeaking won't step
fighting, but it reduces possibility of serious injury,
Debeaking is the answer when birds are lost from
pecking. H alse stops losses from "blowouts.” Tem
porary eversion of the oviduet is normal with egq
laying. It bacomes a "blowout" if the oviduet remains
hanging externally. This is likely to happen in flocks
where vents have been damaged by excessive vent
pecking.
