THE CHRONICLE, Clinton, S. C., May 22, 1969—6-A FARMS and FOLKS BY HAROLD ROGERS BY HAROLD ROGERS Assistant Extension Editor CLEMSON -- The spotlight for this week’s Farms and Folks swings to the young people, the 4-H’ers over the state. They’re a busy crowd. Go into any county, any com munity, and you find clubs of these youngsters active in all sorts of projects. Of recent date their ho rizons have been broadened. The programs are being designed to reach into urban and rural areas alike, to serve all segments of the population with a greater range of activities. Many of them are especially tailored to appeal to today’s fast-paced youth. Here at Clemson 4-H Specia list J.B. Williams and his staff have been busy shaping the pro gram and getting out details and materials. At the county levels the agents and home economist are busy putting them into ac tion. Through voluntary local lea ders they’ve been carrying out programs dealing with everything from horsemanship, small engine operation, rifle clubs and per sonal grooming to cattle, poultry and all the traditional 4-H acti vities. Take a look throughClemson’s wide window on the world of ag riculture, the reports from county agents which keep this University hub abreast of doings across this broad state. From Sumter, County Agent T.O. Bowen reports that two of the lesson demonstrations given at 4-H meeting were, “Know Your Plant Foods* and “Beau tification of Home and Neighbor hood.* “The 13 necessary plant foods were stressed,* Bowen report ed, “as well as information given on interpreting fertilizer tags, use of lime and what is given from a soil sample analysis. “In beautification, slides were used to emphasize the amount of littering along the highway, the dumping of trash on private pro perty and what 4-H clubs or ot her groups could do about clean ing up thses situations.* Down in Beaufort, W. L. John son said several 4-H Clubs in his county were presented a program on ants, covering the history and society. “Each member was offered an opportunity to write a theme on ants, and 20 were turned in for the competition,’ Johnson said. Awards were planned. The agent also noted that a muf fin cooking contest was scheduled to appeal to the female side of 4-H. And in Edgefield County, if some of the youths have been making like beavers they have good reason. The Martintown Road 4-H Club, boys and girls, made a study of beavers which in cluded a visit to a beaver dam and pond on headwaters of Ste vens Creek. “They saw the stick-and-mud dam, trees cut by beavers, and trees being prepared for cut ting,* says County Agent J.W. Gillaim. They also had another unusual project going there in Edgefield-- an electric hot bed for the John ston 4-H Electric Club. They built a 3 by 5 foot bed heated with elec tric cables and were growing out tomato plants. Approximately 600 of the plants were ticketed for the Pleasant Lane Vegetable Club. These are just some of the ac tivities, some of the projects go ing on all over the state. They’re a busy crowd, those 4-H’ers. * * * Most cotton knits now have wrinkle-resistant, shape-holding finishes, and are machine-washable. If you prefer to hand wash, remember to squeeze the garment without twisting, and rinse without wringing. After rinsing, blot out excess moisture by rolling the gar ment in a clean bath towel. Spread it flat on dry towels to dry. Smooth and shape the garment in place. If touchup ironing is needed, use a steam iron. BROOM SALE — Lions J. B. Arnold, left, and Rev. E. W.
