14 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE il Clinton, S. Thursilay, October 2f), 19B6 4-H er of the Week By H. L. EASON Awirtaat County Agent A feel of Fall in the air and a changing of colors in the woods and fields mean only oneThtng te the boys and girls in the area with a cfi!f ~for-a project; Fair time is here. This week I would like to pay tribute to the boys and girls of Laurens Couftty 4-H Clubs who have shown or will show thelf cattle at the fairs. Have you ever realised how much time atod effort Is re quired to gfct fifh aWfmhl ready to show? At efidh fftfr toe at tend we hetfr folks remark as they wafk through the bams, “L6dk, they must be cold; they have their blank ets on.” Most of the time these animals are warm, but the idea is to help encourage the animal to shed its long coarse winter hair and at tain that “glamour look” you see in the show ring. They also keep the animal clean for showing. Many hotirs are spent on teaching the calf to lead. If you will watch a showman in the ring work his cow or calf; it'looks effortless for so8i& to—get their animal standing in the preferred manner and impossible for others. Patience and persev erance are required for this chore, but the rewards are many. Horns must be removed when the calf is very young or sarided and poMshed if al lowed to remain. 1 heard one jddge remark, “Homs today, are for looks only; and they had better look good.” Feet need to be trimmed periodically just as your fin gernails. In fact, a cow’s hoof is the equivalent to a human’s fingernails. After trimming. they are painted with oil or ,shoe polish foe appearance. Of course the animal must be fed, watered, brushed and loved all during the year, and in many cases milked twice a day. So you can see that much is involved in a calf project. Our calf club boys arid girls don’t have time to get into trouble. The boys and girls are re warded for their efforts. Last year, Laurens County 4-H- ers grossed over $7.000 show ing cattle at five fairs. Two individuals received over $1,000 each. Of course, this is not all profit; and the two in mind had over 35 head, but it will help finance that col lege education. Show time for the Laurens County Fair is 2 p.m. Tues day, October 25, until even ing, and Wednesday. Octob er 26. at 6 p.m. Come on out and observe some young pro fessionals at work.

Thh stamp of approval for Fritz by Mr. Culbertson, who has repeatedly described himself as a double-dip, dyed in the wool, LB.J.
