It is greater still to like to see others achieve and so we believe that 4-H Extension Club members over the State will be glad to know that Miss Mary Rayle of Richland County has been awarded the At lantic Coast Line railroad trip to the National 4-H Club Camp in Washington, D. C., next June. This award is made on record keeping poultry project achievement espe cially, although her participation In general club work and various contests has also been very worth while. A value of her profit, build ings, flock and dairy has been made of $2,342.85 in her years of club work. Miss Eleanor Carson states that 12 other home flocks have started and improved because of Mary’s poultry influence. A fuller account of her work is given in Mary’s''own story: What My Poultry Project Has Meant To Me I have been, in 4-H project club work for five years and I have thoroughly enjdVed every bit of it. I have been in the poultry club for four of the five years, and have been more active in this phase of the work. I worked harder this year than any previous year but did not re ceive as much profit, comparative ly, as before, because of low pre vailing prices. However, by market ing first-class products always, I have established a ready market for my poultry^ both eggs and birds, in any quantity I might have, each week. / I built two houses this year; one ■a brick brooder house, the other a laying house. The brick brooder is 15 feet by 16 feet, and the laying much to me and I hope always will. Mary Rayle, Richland Co. 4-H Club Girl. Miss Majgaret Church of Ander son County will be the other dele gate from girls’ clubs. Margaret’s seven years’ club career has in cluded all girls’ projects, outstand ing contest work, an income of about $676.60. She has been an active member in county and State fair activities and has achieved in club leadership to a recognizable degree. Her story of club work is an in teresting one of perseverance and achievement: My first experience in 4-H Club work was begun in the early fall of 1926 under the supervision of Miss Ruth Cannon. As I had never been a 4-H Club member before, I knew nothing about the organi zation whatever. But at our re organizing meeting I was filled with the inspiration that I was going to like it. That motto, “To Make the Best Better,” appealed to me as something worth white During the fall and winter I had my first demonstration in sewing and I completed several articles, 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 we soon had the place looking neat and beautiful. The summer brought our county short course, and I can say that I fully enjoyed it. Various canning demonstrations were given and from these I began to learn to can. When I received my first certifi cate 2 realized my time spent at club meetings 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 foods and gar dening, and room improvement, respectively. I was selected health improve ment winner for both years from my club. I also served as group ft Most Beautiful’ m NEW YORK . . .

I con- v«ider it Quite an achievement | ca pt a i n a t our county short course. In 1928 I entered my canned have built the brooder house at such a low-price as $22.50. It has cement floor, while the brooder it self is 2 1-4 feet by 6 feet. Two xeasons why the cost was low are: First, we made the glass cloth our- .selves by dipping clean feed sacks Into hot parafin; second, the roof was made of feed sacks painted over with a mixture of coal tar and Hme. This has proved satis factory. I am dividing the new laying house into two sections, teach 15 feet square because we have found by experiment, that small flocks produce eggs that hatch at a larger percentage. This Is an advantage to me because I sell the eggs during hatching sea son to hatcheries. I tried selling broilers this year also, but have found that a bigger profit is made from the eggs. Another new ex periment this year was the vacci nating of the chickens for chicken pox and roup. This was done with a culture made from the scales of m neighbor’s chickens, applied to the comb with a large embroidery needle blunted at the point and wrapped with thread. This cost us nothing. Two neighbors followed cur example in this under our in structions. I have assisted a neighbor in es tablishing ft pure-bred flock and building a standard brick brooder like ours. I began the winter with over 200 layers and am continuing to mix my own feed, since it is so much cheaper and has the same food value as the commercial feed. I think that poultry work is the most Interesting project of the 4-H Clubs and Is also the most profit able. There is more progress to be made along this line, and it helps train you for the business world, in that you have the money value of the loss and gain to deal with. The experience I have gained has helped me much. When you grow your own com, green stuff, etc., it is much cheaper for one and helps a good deal in the “live-at-home” program which we are trying to get the farmers to put into prac tice. Our own family has been much aided by this program and the poultry work has certainly helped out the family budget and I have also been able to save some to help with my college education which I ■am determined to have. I intend to do social service work or some work such as play ground director, for example, because people are helped so much by these. All of my 4-H Club work has helped me in every respect. I wish every boy and girl could realize just what 4-H work really £peans, because it has meant so fruits and vegetables in the 4-H Club department at the Anderson County fair and won. first prize which was $5.00^ These two years left me a much healthier and happier club girl. I was beginning td realize what a great organization the 4-H Club was., At the beginning of the new club year we welcomed to pur club and county a new agent, Mrs. Ethel M. Madden. Th£t year I had the privi lege of serving as vice president of my club. Again we had v clothing for our major project. In July we had our county short course and I had the honor of be ing a group captain of 12 girls and my group was selected as the best campers at the short course. At our club contest in the spring I was selected as the healthiest girl and made a high score in the county contest. 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 II. We also had work in home beautification. Again I was elected vice presi dent and was also chosen as club health winner. I made a very high score in the county contest. I entered both canning and sew ing 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 project. I made a complete suit of cotton underclothes and a cotton school dress. In January of the same club year my brother and I joined the major 4-H Poultry Club. We began with 200 blood-tested Rhode Is land Red baby chicks. At 8 weeks old we had sold enough roosters to pay for the chicks and the feed which they had eaten. In April our club contest was held and I was selected winner in project work, health and dress re vue. One month later I entered the county contest in the above men tioned and won first place in the latter. I modeled a blue pique dress trinfmed with silver buttons, with white accessories. In July I entered the district contest held at Winthrop College. I modeled the same dress and won first place in the Piedmont District. In October I went to Columbia to compete for State honors and I won second p’ace. This was one of the happiest days of my life when the winners were announced.

I also had the privi lege sending my dress to the National 4-H Congress held at Chicago. This ends my greatest year in club work yet and on with another. In the fall of 1932 I began my seventh year in this great work. We chose as our major project, clothing, because everyone seems to enjoy it more and more. Again I was chosen vice president of our club. When we had our county contest I won first place agaii^ in dress re vue. I competed for district honors at Winthrop College and won sec ond place. At our county short course which was held at Clemson College I had charge of several things. Some of these were chapel, morning watch, sunset services, candle lighting services, and directed games and songs. I also did some leadership work at the State short course. My seventh year of 4-H Club work is nearing Its end, but I am not regretting it at all because I am planning to do more and great er things than ever before. Four-H Club work has certainly broadened my horizon. At the end of this club year I will have had nine cer tificates, my club diploma and honor seal. I am expecting much pleasure and profit in the years to come from the knowledge I am gathering now and I shall always strive “To Make the Best Better.” Margaret Church. Anderson County.

Here is your pattern and you will be amazed at its simplicity in the making. These squares when cut on the straight become bias and fitted, and the bias sides cling to the figure. The panels in front and back may be cut on the straight of the material if preferred, but this is really a'bias slip, except the shoul der straps which may be made of ribbon. ' Refreshing House Frock Pattern 8144—Now that March has flustered through, a new dress for morning westr is an absolute necessity. In selecting a pattern no better choice could be made than this style. Consider the smart white collar and turn back cuffs or long sleeves if you prefer, and note the clever diagonal closing on waist and skirt which is very sim ple to make because stitched on the outside. When you come to buy your ma terial you will be dazzled by the wide choice of gay prints, plaids and stripes in percale, seersuckers and various other cottons.
