Six New Projects Available
To 4-H Members in the State
Six new projects have been made available to 4-H
Club members throughout the state in an effort to meet
the demand created by interest of members, according to
Harold Darden, a state 4-H Club leader.
Mr. Darden said these new
projects are an example of the
continuous broadening of the
scope of 4-H Club work as con
ducted by the Cooperative Ex
tension Service of the Univer
sity of Georgia College of Agri
culture.
Five of the new projects are
for junior members, and are the
result of widespread interest in
such projects, he said. These are
junior agronomy, entomology,
landscaping, fruit, vegetable and
pecan marketing and child care.
The new senior project is
dairy demonstration for boys
and girls.
The junior agronomy project
is designed to enable 4-H mem
bers to gain a broader knowl
edge of 4-H agronomy project
and activities. Members enrolled
in this will give demonstrations
on such subjects as crop im
provement. soils and fertilizer,
crop and weed study or pasture.
In the entomology project the
club member will have the op
portunity to learn to recognize
major beneficial and harmful

Glimpses Into My 4-H Work
By JUDY PACE
My 4-H Club work has bene

cooking and sewing projects, I
have carried projects in poultry
and dairying.
My poultry project kept the
family from buying eggs for a
number of years and we were
also able to have both fryers and
hens for the freezer. In the four

My Experiences in 4-H Club
By 808 DARNELL
I have been a member of the i
4-H Club four years. I have en
joyed these years very much and
am sure they will prove profit-
Regarding the calf that I]
bought, I fed and watered this
animal and when the time came
for the fair, I learned to groom
and show this calf. I have traded
around to better my show pros
pects and last year I was quite
pleased to receive a blue ribbon
on my senior heifer in the
Junior Show at Southeastern.
Living on a dairy farm, every
one has to pitch in and work to
get all the work done morning
and night. At the present time
my work included raising ten
heifer calves. From the time
they are weaned from the
mother, it is my responsibility to
feed them from the “suck ;
bucket” and later give them
grain and plenty of fresh water.
The money that I have earned
each year at the shows is being
put aside to assist with my col- |
lege expenses. I feel that I have
truly benefited from my 4-H
Club experiences.

I enjoyed Livestock Conserva-;

Poultry taught me a lot of
things such as the responsibility
of keeping the chicks and hens
healthy and alive. This included
changing water, keeping the
feeders filled, and the chicken
house clean. Also, following a
good vaccination program. Then
there were the eggs—gathering
them, processing them, and de
livering them to the customers.
Os course, during all of this
there was bookkeeping, which
i was a great help during my
I Livestock Project, too. In the
Poultry project I won two rib
bons and $ll.OO and was chosen

Poultry Show, taking two of my
hens to Southeastern Fair.

CLAYTON PLAZA
My 4-H Club Story
BY MICKEY GARBER
I started my 4-H Club work
three years ago. The first proj
ects that I took were beef cat
tle, gardening, and health and
safety.
I got my calf from my father
who has some cross breeds. The
cow I chose it from was half
black angus, so the calf I got
out of the half black angus was
a 34 angus.
I was raising this calf to either
enter in the fat calf show or put *
him in our own freezer if he
wasn’t good enough to go to the
fair. Unfortunately, he was not
good enough to go to the fair so
we put him in the freezer. On
the hoof he weighed 763 pounds,
but dressed out he weighed 354
pounds.
I hope to raise another calf
soon and try to make this one a
little bit better, because the 4-H
Motto is: “To Make the Best
Better.”
The first year I didn’t make
much money on my garden, just
$1.49, but the next year I made
$15.85 off the same ’ B of an
acre. I would have made more
if the drought had not come.
The reason I thought I did so
well is because I know how to
