RICHLAND AND ANDERSON'
TO REPRESENT SOUTH CAR.i
At National Four-H Club Camp
Every one likes to achieve. It is
greater still to like to see others a
chieve and so we believe that 4-H Ex
tension Club Members over the statu!
will bo glad to know that Mis3 Mary
Rayle of Richland County, haa beer
awarded the Atlantic Coast JLine Rail-'
road trip to the National 4-H Clu'i ;
Camp in Washington, D. C. nex; Juno.
This award is made on record keep
ing and poultry projec; achievement
especially, although her participation,
in general club work and various con
tests has also been very worth while.
A value of her profit, buildings,
flock and dairy has been mado ox
$2,342.85 in her years ol" club work.
Miss Eleanor Carson state:; that 1 :
other homo flock;) have started aw]
improved becauso of Mary's poultry
influence.
A fuller acocunt of her work is giv
en in Mnry'a own story.
j What My Poultry Project Has meant
) To Me.
( I have been in 4-H club worl: io.
fi\e j ears and I have thoroughly en
joyed every bit of it. I havo been in
the poultry dub for four of the five
I years, and have been more active in
this phaes of the work.
I worked harder this year than any
previous year but did not receivu as
much profit, compartively, as before,
because of low prevailing prices. How
ever, by marketing first class pro
ducts always, I have established a
leady market for my poultry both
eggs and birds, in any quantity I
might have, each week, * i
I built two houses this year; ono a
brick brooder house, the othe; n lay. I
ing house. The brick brooder is 15
j feet by 1G feet and the laying houso
is 15 feet by 30 feet. I conside.' it
quite an achievement to have built
the brooder hGuse at such a low price
as $22.50. It has cement floor, while!
the brooder i.s 2 1-4 feet by G feet.
Two reasons why the cost was low!
are: First, we made tho glass cloth
ourselves by dipping clean feed sacks
into hot parafin; second, the roof was
made of feed sacks painted ove: with
a mixture of coal tar and lime. This
has proved satisfactory. I am divid
ing the new laying house into two
sections, each 15 feet by 15 feet be
cause wo havo found by experiment
that small flocks produco egg.i thai
hatch at a larger percetnage. This
is an advantage to mo becauso I sell
the eggs during hatching season to
hatcheries. I tried selling broilers
this year also, hot have found that a
bigger profit is mado from tho eggs.
Another new experiment this year
was the vaccinating of the chickens
for chicken pox and roup. This was
done with a cultuie mado from the
broidery needle blunted at tho point
and wrapped with thread. This cost
us nothing. Two neighbors followed
our exarmple in this under our instruc
tions.
I have assisted a neighbor in estab
lishing a pure bred flock and building
n standard brick broode: lko ours.
I am starting the winter with over
200 layers and am continuing to mix
my own feed, since it is so much
cheaper and has tho same food value
as thu commercial feed.
I think that poultry work is tho
most interesting project of tho 4-H
clubs and is also tho most profitable.
There is more progress to bo madfc
along this and it helps train you for
the business world, in that you have
the money, value of the loss and gain
to deal with. Tho experience I have
gained has helped mo much. When
you grow your own corn, green stuff,
cU\, it i.s much cheaper for ono and
helps a good deal in tho '"Live-at
home" program which wo are trying
tice.
Our own family has been much aid
fd by t.hft program and the poultry
work has certainly helped out the
family budget and I havo also been
able to save some to help with my
college education which I am deter
mined to have. I intend to do social
service work or some work such as
playground director, for example, be- 1
to get the farmers to put into prac
cause people are helped os much b*
these. All of my 4-H club work has
helped mo in every respec:.
It has taught me more about how
to use the things which I have, how
to aid others, and it has also devel
oped my character to a great extent.
I wish every hoy and girl could real
ize just what 4- Id work really means,
because it has meant so much to me
and 1 hope always will.
MARY RAYL1'.,
Richalr.d Co. 4-11 Club Girl.
Miss Margaret Church of Anderson (
county, will be the other delegate^
from girls' clubs. Margaret's seven
years club career has included all
girls' projects, outstanding contest
work, an income of about $C7G 00. She
has been an active member in county
and state fair activties and has a
chieved in club leadership to a recog
nizable degree. Her story of club
work is an interesting one of perse
verance and achievement.
"My first experience in 4-H club
work was begun in the early fall of
192G under the supervision of Miss
Ruth Cannon. As I had never beer,
a 4-H club member before, I knew
nothing al>out the organization what
ever. But at our re-oragnizmg meet
ing I was filled with the inspiration
that I was going to like it. That
motto, "To make the best better" ap
pealed to me as something worth
while.
During fhe fall and winter 1 had
my first demonstration in sewing and
1 completed several utricles including
my first dress of my own making. In
the following spring we decided to
beautify our school grounds. Each
girl brought some flowers and shrubs
and wt soon had tho plaoi looking
neat and beautiful.
j Tho summer brought our county
short course, and I can say thai I ful
ly enjoyed it. Various canning de
monstrations were given and from
these 1 began to learn to can.
When I received my first certificate
1 realized my time spent at club meet
ings and at camp had not been in
Vain.
My next years in 4-H club work,
which were 1927-28 and 1928-29, were
something like my first year. Our
'projects were foo$l and gardening
and room improvement, respectively
I was selected health improvement
winner for both, yearn from my club.
I also served as group captain at ou; ,
county short course.
In 1928 I entered my canned fruits
and vegetables In the '1-11 club depart
ment at the Anderson county fair an*
won first prizo which wan $5.0(1
These two years left mo a much
healthier and happier club girl. I was
beginning to realize what a great or
ganization tho 4-H club waft.
At the 'beginning of the new club
ye?r we welcomed to our club and
county a new agent, Mrs. Ethel M.
Madden. That year I had the privi
lege of serving as vice-president of
my club. Again we had clothing foi
ouf major projec'.
In July we had our county short
? course and I had the honor of being a
group captain of 12 girls and my
' group was selected as the best camp
' ers at the short course.
[ At our Club contest in tho Spring 1
j was selected as the healthiest girl and
made a high score in the county con
test. I exhibited both canning and
sewing at the county fair and won
several prizes. At the end of this,
my fourth, 4-H Club year, I was more
interested in it than ever before.
! For my fifth year in club work we
had as our major project Foods Unit
j 11. Wo also had work in home beau
i tification.
Again I was eleted vice president
and was also chosen as club health
winner. I mado a v?ry high score -
j tbn county contest.
I I entered both canning and sewing
at the fair and won four first prizes
and one second. This ended five
prosperous years in 4-H club work.
We had clothing for our major pro
. ject. I made a complete suit of cot
j ton underclothes and a cotton school
dress.
In January of the snme club year
