Jack Gurton, 4-H club agent, said today that the programs will be planned on a community basis with many clubs combining to make the “recognition” program a part of a PTA, Grange, church, or other community gathering during October and November.

Gurton said that all 4-H mem- bers who have completed their projects and who have turned in their 4-H record books to the 4-H office in the Old Postoffice build ing, Eugene, will be eligible to re ceive 4-H club pins. Certificates will also be presented in recog nition of project attainments. "The fall achievement programs have a dual purpose,” Gurton noted.

They provide the oppor tunity for adults to express en- couragemen t and interest, both essential to the youngsters. said Gurton. Develop Citizens. "Adding to a collection of lions is not the basis .of our 4-H club program." he declared. "All 4-H club leaders agree that the ’ underlying purpose is to devek p I youngsters into responsible citi zens.” Gurton said that to become a 14-H club member, youngs'ers pledge their head to I thinking, their heart to loyalty, their hands to larger ser vice, and their health to better living for their club, community, ’and country. "That’s a big order. and one that requires the boost of adult interest,” he declared. In Lane county 178 adults are giving their time to help 1.400 youngsters live up to that pledge. Fifteen of the leaders, according to Gurton, have served in the 4-H program for 10 to 27 years. Major club projects are clothing, foods, food preservation, child care, homemaking, health, live stock, poultry, field crops, horti culture, forestry, entomology, crafts, wood working, and elec tricity. Mastitis Fought With Strip Cup A strip cup, properly used, always been a good friend to the farmer in keeping his cows free ot mastitis. Regular use of a strip warns of the onset ol mastitis and enables the farmer to take precautionary steps to cut the in fection short. For many years, strip cups had a screen set down into the cup. The difficulty in cleaning the screen and the time thus often dissuaded farmers from us ing a cup every day. Lately, new ideas in cup design have been brought forth. The most recent is the substitution of a shallow black plate for the screen, in the cup. The plate has a hole in one edge to allow milk to flow down into the cup. As the milk passes over the black background, any ab normal milk lumps, flakes or strings in the milk, or any blood. is easily gainst the black background. One dip in a pail of water and the plate is clear and ready to be used on the next ani mal. Daily use of the strip cup will prevent any chance of mastitis becoming well entrenched in a herd before being caught. It will also prove excellent as an aid to milk let down and will eliminate low butterfat, high bacteria fore milk. Lederle Lalwratories Division, American Cyanamid Company, makers of Targot, for mastitis, and many other veterinary prod ucts are now offering this newest type cup free to farmers with the purchase of a dozen tubes of got Mastitis Ointment. The are now in many feed and drug stores in rural areas.
