About 4-H Fairs! d Transfusions ve Calves
Southside, Mill . . . .
Creek Stage One
At to 7d of h.rTst some of
the big excels of. th season are
the 4-1-[ club fairs. At. these fairs
each .I-H member displays llis
project, to show to the other l
members and the public wlmt the
individual members accomplished
during the year. To give the read-
er a clearer idea of what goes on
at one of these fairs, here is a
brief outline of one leld at South-
sire last August.
It was given by the Southside
and Mill Creek 4-H clubs, under
the direction of Mr. Lee Huston,
Mrs. Chase and Mrs. William
KempLon; in the evening of Aug-
ust 23, 1945, at the Southsiue
Community Hall. In the afternoon
tile members brought projects to
the hall. But that was just the
beginning, for then began the
tasks of cleaning, decorating, ar-
ranging and any number of little
jobs that had to be done. At the
end of a long hard afternoon the

Many a promislng calf, lost be-
cause of infectious scours, probably
could have been saved by the simple
expedient of giving the patient a
transfusion of blood from a mature
cow in the same herd. This treatment
can be followed by amazingly prompt
and helpful results under conditions
where more difficult, cunbersome,
and costly treatments have met only
with failure or mediocre relief.
According to Dr. W. A. Higglns of
General Mills Larro Research Farm,
Detroit, giving a blood transfusion is
a simple procedure which can be done
easily, with tha help of a qualified
veterinarian. A 12 or 14-gauge bleed-
ing needle is used to draw blood from
the jugular vein in the neck groove o,f
a healthy, mature cow. This cow can
be selected at random from the herd
eir€,e he neepd ot be'the dam 9f ,the
ick Ctil£ The' Cow's blood is €0111cted
in a clean, quart milk bottle or other
suitable container in which has been
placed sufficient soluble oxalate, so-
dium citrate, or other anticoagulant to
keep the blood from clotting in the
bottle. About one-fifteenth of an
ounce, or 2 grams, of sodium oxalate
should be sufficient to prevent clot-
ting in as much as a quart of blood,
LARRO RESEARCH FARM PHOTO
if the bottle is agitated moderately
from time to time while the blood is
being drawn from the cow. Approxi-
mately a pint, or slightly more, of
blood should be used to treat a sick
calf, As soon as drawn from the cow',
this blood is introduced by gravity
flow into the jugular vein ef the sick
cal by means of a funnel attached
to a piece of rubber tubing fastened
to a bleedtn needle inserted in the
calf's jugular vein.
The success with which blood
transfusions have been used for some
calf ills commends this method of
treatment for much wider use than
it has received up to the present
time. The treatment is highly Lpractt'-
cal because it calls only for materials
which are readily obtainable. The
therapeutic or medicinal value of
whole blood has reeeived er:
attention and application in human
medicine in recent years. Certainly
it is worthy of further use in treating
certain calf disorders such as those
caused by infectious scours, where
frequently, there is nothing to lose
and everything to gain. A blood trans-
fusion well might save a sick calf
which otlierwise would surely perish.
Southside Club
One of Oldest
The Southside 4-H club is one
of the longest organized clubs in
Mason county. This comnmnity
has had an active club ever since
1925: Until recent years there
has been the agricultural club
and lmme economics club but the
past several years the organiza-
tion has been handled as a com-
munity 4-H club with the var-
ious projects.
Records are somewhat incom-
plete as to who the leaders were
until 1935 when Lee Huston took
over the reign and has led the
club ever since. He is now a well
scasoned veteran of 4-H club
work, after 11 years of continu-
ous working with young" folks.
Many of the young folks of the
community have been in his club.
The girls clubs have had more
of a turnover in leadership. Am-
ongtim early leaders was Mrs.
J. E, Underwood. Others include
Evelyn Leggett, Catherine Evans,
Mrs. Laurie Hill, Mrs. Louis
Aaehe, Margaret 'vVolden, Mrs.
chas. Chase. Mrs, C. Okerstrom
is a present leader of the girls
projects.
Skokomish Young Folks
Wanted to be 4-H'ers
So Formed Junior Club
The fact that a boy or girl had
to be 10 years old to join a 4-H
club irked some of the young
folks in Skokomish Valley. If
those over 10 years- could have a
club why not those under ten?
These youngsters really wanted a
4-H club, so Mrs, Thee, Richert
decided to see what could be done.
As a result the Skokomish Jr.
4-H Club was organized. The
members range iu age from eight
to 11 years. The club now has 17
members having project in gar-
dening, poultry, rabbits and dairy
and beef calves.
The officers of the club are At-
lee Johnson, president; Fred Sjo-
lmlm, vice-president; and Bob
Wilson, secretary. These mem-
bers keep tlaeir leaders as' well
as themselves very busy,

Edits 4-H Issue
by Clinton Okerstrom
The responsibility of publishing
this first 'edition of the 4-H sec-
tion has been placed upon the
club members. Those who were
older and haw had some exper-
ience were naturally among those
selected.
The members elected Caroline
Reiman as editor and Margaret
Valley as assistant editor.
Caroline is a newcomer in the
4-H club work but she really is
doing a fine job and is showing
her ability as a leader.
Pat Hart and Elinore Brum-
baugh volunteered to contact the
business concerns for advertis-
ing in the paper.
The girls have done much of the
business work of the paper and
have made the assignments of ar-
ticles.
Thanks to these girls and all
the contributors of articles. Also

Achievement Day
Big 4-H Event

4-H pins, special awards, and cash
awards for prizes won in differ-
et cent, eats. Also the Kiwanis

new games and songs. We .also
have a speaker that talks on var-
ious 4-H items. All in all we have
a swell time meeting other club
members, leaders and parents.

Food Preserving
Important to 00L.H
by Shirley Abel
Last year foodrpreservation was
a very important project in 4-H
work.
As food was scarce, all that
could be harvested had to be eat-
en or preserved.
In our county many of the
girls who took canning last year
are taking this project again. Be-
sides getting credit in 4-H work,
you receive a lot of self credit
when you see the rows of filled
jars. We all know that food will
be more maportant this year, as
so many other countries need our
help. So I'm sure any girl taking
preservation won't be sorry for
this choice.
