NATIONAL 4-H CLUB WEEK
MARCH 2-10, 1946
“The Local 4-H Club in a Changing World”
The Local 4-H Club
In a Changing World
This is National 4-H Club Week
and the main theme, “The Local
4-H Club in a Changing World,’’
will play an important part in re
inforcing the use of the 10 4-H Club
Congress by Director M. L. Wilson.
Our new Georgia 4-H goal, 125,000
club members this year, will also
play an important part in helping
the club members and leaders of
our county to assume their full
share of responsibility in reaching
more young people with the 4-H
program.
The general purposes of the Na
tional 4-H Club Week are:
1. To make it possible for all 4-H
members to become familiar with
the 1946 4-H challenge and the 10
new 4-H guideposts.
2. To help 4-H members to ana
lyze their own situations and prob
lems as a follow-up to the use of
the 10 4-H guideposts in local pro
gram building.

NOW!
From now until the middle of April is the best
time to riant Kudzu the vine that builds good
soil and helps stop wasteful erosion.
Kudzu is a valuable grazing plant. It makes
hay with a feeding value as high as alfalfa. It
grows rapidly one plant spreads as much as 50
feet in one seasonl
No wonder Georgia farmers had more than
100,000 acres in Kudzu last year one-third more
than the year before.
Kudzu is recognized by authorities as one of the
best erosion-control plants for the Southeast.
What about the gullies—steep slopes —or serious
ly eroded fields on your farm? Try Kudzu and
see how it helps!
Roots or “crowns” cost only $lO to sl4 a
thousand enough to plant two acres,
county agent, vocational agriculture teacher, Soil
Conservation Service representative, or our Agri
culture Division will be glad to tell you where to
buy Kudzu for planting, or furnish other infor
mation. write to

The 1946 Challenge
To 4-H Leaders
For the past four years, 4-H Clubs
have concentrated most of their
energies,on growing “food to feed
a fighter.” Now the war is over,
leaving in its wake many knotty
problems for farmers and rural peo
ple. Youth, with training and some
direction, can play an important
part in meeting these problems. To
facilitate this contribution of youth
the 10 guideposts, recently devel
oped. can be of much value in
building an effective program that
will more adequately meet the needs
and interests of youth, based on
the problems youth must face in
their own communities. Moreover,
every leader can well use these 10
guideposts in guiding programs that
will develop high ideals in the
minds of all youth reached. For in
this new era of atomic energy such
ideals as integrity and fair play are
the only hope for the future of hu
manity.
May the 1946 National 4-H Club
Week have a far-reaching influ
ence in calling to the attention of
both parents and young people what
the 4-H Club program provides for
youth in meeting their responsibil
ities and making the most of their
opportunities in this new era.—M.
L. Wilson, Director of Extension
Work.
Dear 4-H Club Member—The 100.-
000 4-H Club members in Georgia
did a wonderful job during the last
four years in helping to win the
war. Today—l946—we, as the
youth of the state, have an even
bigger challenge before us—the
winning of the peace.
You and I each have the respon
sibility and opportunity of making
our local 4-H Clubs a vital part of
the community life. Through our
projects we can help feed the peo
ple in war-ravaged countries, as
well as meet the needs in our own
nation.
During this National 4-H Club
Week, March 2-10, let each of us
rededicate ourselves to do every
thing possible to help during this
critical adjustment period. Let us
encourage all boys and girls in the
community to join with u£ in this
job of “winning the peace.”
Use the 10 guideposts for 4-H
Club work to help you analyze your .
own club programs, needs, inter
ests. By so doing we will prepare
ourselves physically, mentally and
spiritually to serve as citizens in
doing the job which is ours.—Sin
cerely yours, Walter Smith, Presi
dent, State 4-H Club Council.

What 4-H Club
Work Does:
1. 4-H Club members are dem
onstrators —they learn and teach
better ways on the farm, in the
home and in the community.
2. 4-H members work, earn mon
ey and acquire property.
3. 4-H members become leaders
and learn to play the game fairly.
4. 4-H members meet together,
work together, play together, co
operate and achieve.
5. 4-H members build up their
bodies and their health through
right living; they train their hands
to usefulness, their minds to clear
ness and their hearts to kindness.
~6~4-H members have high ideals
and standards. They serve. They
are doers.
Membership in
4-H Clubs
Membership in 4-H Clubs is vol
untary. All boys and girls from 10
to 20 years of age are eligible for
membership. The essentials of
membership are that each member
taking up the work shall learn to
demonstrate approved practices in
agriculture and home economics
under the guidance of the County
Extension Agents, keep a record of
all work done, take part in club
meetings, community and county
activities, make public exhibit, and
make a report at the end of the
year.

FIGURING THINGS OUT
Awhile back I was learning Sonny how to handle
a shotgun so he could figure out where Br er Rabbit
natchelly was going to be on his next jump. Sonny
got the idea mighty quick for a boy his age. Maybe
it’s because he’s noticed how us farmers always tries
to do things the natchel way. For instance, it just
comes natchel to use Chilean soda to give our crops
a quick start and keep ’em growing strong and
healthy.
Us farmers has been using natchel soda for more
than a hundred years. Seems like just being natchel
makes it different from any other kind.
Maybe folks wont be able to get all the soda they
leant this season, but if we’re careful with what we
get it may do.

security—of happiness. To prepare
youth for their place in a more
perfect America is the job of edu
cation.
The 4-H Club program proudly
takes its place with others in help- s
ing to carry out the responsibility
that education must assume. To
serve rural America particularly—
but looking to all youth eventually
—is the double responsibility of *
4-H work.
