Club Girls Represent
S. C. At National
4-H Club Camp
Everyone likes to achieve. 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

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. Although I did
not get the national trip, it did not
discourage me at all, but only gave

me more courage, r came back to
Anderson and exhibited my dress
at the county fair and won first
place there. 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.”

looking for something really simple
to make and really slimmering to
wear? 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. '

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.
