Now is Time to Become 4-H Member
CAN EDITORIAL)
Oh! So you are not a 4-H member? Then now is the
time to join. All rural boys and girls from the ages 10-21
are eligible to become a member 6f a club that is really
worth while and interesting.
L Summer is almost here and it is time for the real
activities of the 4-H'ers to begin. Cooking, making cloth-
ing, raising poultry, livestock, and crops are just a few of
the projects that are offered for you to take. And who
knows but what that lush, red tomatoe or that trim looking
suit would take $irst prize at the fair.
Some of the objectives behind these projects are to
develop leadership, agriculture methods, itizenship, love of
nature, and ambition. With these accomplished four of the
greatest goals will be reached; a head for clearer thinking,
a heart for greater loyalty, hands to larger service, and
health for better living.

fourth year,
I decided that by making my
own clothes I could get them
cheaper and more of what I want-
ed. I didn't make anything until
Christmas vacation and didn't
make anything between then and
the time I began to take sewing
in Home Economics atschool. I
do most of my sowing during the
summer. This 'year ] made 12
things besides doing all my own
mending +and darning. The fol-
lowing are the things I made: a
dress, two jumpers, three skirts,
two blouses, two yarn dolls, a
dickey, and an ironing board cov-

Sko]komlsh Sewing Club
I was 10 years od when mo-
ther finally let me join tim much
talked about sewmg club• This
year was the very beginning of
my sewing. I did mostly just lit-
tle things like darning my stock-
ings aud making such things as
a pin enshion, sachet bag, slip,
and embroidering a laundry bag,
Three of these things I exhibited
at the community exhibitinn and
won first prize on all of them•
I went to club camp that year
and although I don't remember
much about it, my record book
for that year says that I enjoyed
it very much.
I don't remember much about
my second year in 4-H work but
I do, remember that I didn't have
much of a 4-H spirit, in fact I
almost qit in the middle of,the
year. 'I guess I was already tired
of sewing. I came down with a
light case of measles and had to
stay home' from school for a week
or so. Instead of going to bed
where I belonged, I sat up and
made a blouse. Was I ever proud
of that blouse?
Somehow I managed to get
through that+year completing my
project by the skin of my teeth.
I don t recall exhibiting anything
that year. At the beginning of
lay third year I wanted to malce
a better showing but I found that
sewing was no easy thing and that
just discouraged me. Again I was
about to quit but something just
made me go on and I began to
create a liking for sewing.
I
made a skirt, an apron, and sev-
.eral potholders besides a great
deal of darning and mending. I
exhibited four things and woa
first prize on all of them. When
my record book was handed back
to me it had "very good' marked
on it. 'I thought if that was very

4-H Club Work Builds People and
People Most Important Thing
hy George C, Burekltalter,
Adams County Extension Agent
The most important thing in
this world is people, If' we build
people we build everything else.
"our Club work builds people.
Four-H Club.work helps boys and
girls to build themselves. It
helps them to develop their pro-
Jectsto learn by. doing. They
learn how to g'et:along with each
other, They build character. Sim-
ply to learn hOW tO make a dress,
to bake a cake, to prepare agood
meal, to raise a gardeh, to fatten
a beef or pig is creditable but not
enough. Along with those things
members should' learn 'to appre-
ciate life in all it ramifications.
F0ur-H Club work is that part
of Agricultural Extension wlfleh
deals with rural youth. It does for
rural youth what Agricuttnral Ex-
tension does for adult men'nd
women, I[ gives boys and girls,
20 tasks to
do in agriculture, home making
and community betterment. It
gives them experience in being
camp,
part of an action club or
experience, in exhibiting their
products at county arid state
fairs.
Four-H Clubs can not function
without backing from parents and
tho entire community. Youngsters
need encouragement. They like to
know that their efforts are re-
ceiving public approval. They like
to feel, as any one else that their
work is important.
The best 4-H Club work today
qs In the homes and communities
where adults take an active in-
terest in club activities. If your
boys and girls are of club age en-
courage them to avail themselves
of thi opportunity to identify
themselves with the largestyouth
organization in the world otday,
the Four-H Club.
The most important thing in
world

To the 4-H ctub members of
Mason county I send a warm per-
sonal recognition of what this
4-I=I editffm of the Journal means
to nle. It means tlmt 4-H work
in your county is accomplishing
its aims--to train the Head to
Think, the Heart to be Loyal, the
Hands to be Useful, and Health
for Efficiency. It means that Ma-
son county will contribute Js
share of outstanding citizens, a
few years from now, who as so
nlany former 4-H lnlnbers are
now doing will hold positions of
influence and responsibility in
their nation state and conlmtlu-

of their sucdess cmt be traced
directly to the training and in-
spiration which they received as

Well done. Mason county!

Gardening One of
Most Important
4-H Projects
by Allan Brmnl)angh
A very important project in
the present 4-H program is gar-
dening. This is easily understood
when we think of our starving
neighbors in Europe and other
parts of the world.
In their first year of 4-It gar-
den wort menbers become ac-
quainted with such basic funda-
mentals ns seed treatment, prop-
er methods of planting and weed-
ing, and gardening in general.
During the second year more
emphasis s put on advanced de-
tails necessary for a successful
garden. This includes, among the
more important items,, advanced
work in the use of fertilizers,
seed selection, crop rotation, in-
sect control and classifyin soil.
The club member should nake
some profit from his garden in
the second year of work.
For their third year some mem-
ber's turn their faro ly gardens
into larger commercial gardens
which, with two years of garden
work backing, can be quite profit-
able. However, the amount of
produce from a garden can be
increased even though the size
of the garden remains the ame,
Most third year members ar a2)le
to plan tbeir gardens completely
before actually starting work on
the gardens. They learn how to
test soil make fertilizer trials to
determine the best mixtures for
certain soils
Besides learning to raise good
gardens, 4-H garden members
an participate in fairs, garden
contests and many 4-H activities,
such as club camp. Thus the gar-
den project is not only oonstruc-
live but t)opular among boys and
girls.
I gave two demonstrations this
year, one at a regular meeting on
how to make two different kinds
of stitches and one at Rally Day
on how to fit a pattern. I also
entered this demonstration in the
county demonstration contest and
won first prize, I entered my pink
pleated skirt and white blouse in
the county dress revue contest
and also won first prize on it.
I am planning on joining the
sewing club again this year and
make some clothes that are more
advanced and difficult to make.
