Early symbols o f the organization contained only three H ’s— for Head, Heart, and Hands. In 1911, club lead ers from across the country met in Washington, D.C. and adopted a com m ittee reco m -m e n d atio n to add Hustle as a fourth H. O.B. Martin, who was directing club work in the South, is credited with suggesting that the four H ’s stand for Head, Heart, Hands, and Health. 4-H Emblem The official 4-H emblem is a green four-leaf clover with the letter H on each leaf. Because o f its historical importance, the 4-H emblem has a special status; it is federally protected under the U.S. Code (Section 18 USC 707) and belongs to Congress. Fed eral legislation regulates use o f the 4-H name and emblem. In Oregon, permission to use the emblem must be granted by the OSU Extension Service. Boileaus receive award for volunteer recognition in 4-H The 4-H colors are green and white. Green represents growth, life, and youth. White symbolizes purity and high ideals. W arm Springs! 4-H Motto The 4-H motto, “To make the best b etter,” w as p roposed by C arrie Harrison, a botanist with the U.S. Bureau of Plant Industry, and adopted in 1927 along with the 4-H pledge. The 4-H Yard Sale was a success. Together w e’ve raised $241.16. 4-H Pledge The pledge tells what 4-H is all about: the four-fold development o f youth. Delegates to the 1927 National 4-H Club Camp in W ashington, D.C. adopted the pledge, and state club leaders voted for and adopted the pledge for universal use. The phrase “and my world” was added in 1973. The saying o f the pledge has a promi nent place at 4-H club m eetings, achievement days, and other events. “I Pledge my Head to clearer thinking, my Heart to greater loy alty, my Hands to larger service, and my Health to better living, for my club, my community, my coun try, and my world.” Pumpkin Pie & Gifts from a Jar Class When: Tuesday, Nov 22, 2011 Session 1: 9a m -1 2p m Session 2: l-4 p m Where: Education Bldg, 1st Floor Training Room W hat: Learn how to make a Pumpkin pie and create gifts from a jar for the holidays M icky and Arlene Boileau received the Orin Patampa aw ard for V olunteer R ecognition in 4-H.

Oregon State U niversity iregon State university By Judy Scott, 541-737-1386, judy. scott@oregonstate. edu Source: Linda McMahan, 503- 4 3 4 - 8 9 1 0 , linda.mcmahan@oregonstate.edu 10 21-11 - C O R V A L L IS, O re. - I f y o u ’re looking for a groundcover that is native to Oregon and doesn’t require m u ch w a ter, th re e n a tiv e w ild strawberries are available. You might be able to look no further than your own property to find them. “If you are lucky enough to have wild strawberries on your property, you can transplant them to where you need them ,” said Linda McMahan, Oregon State University Extension horticulturist. “Make sure to water them after transplanting.” All three are host plants for native butterflies, and the berries provide food for wildlife. “Perhaps the best known is the beach or c o a st stra w b e rry , F ragaria chiloensis ,” M cM ahan said. This rapid spreader is native to coastal regions o f the Pacific Northwest and Chile. The leaves are dark green and shiny, and the above-ground runners (stolons) are red and help spread the plant. The coast strawberry performs well in full sun and works well to cover a large area. I t ’s read ily av ailable commercially or from native plants grow ers. Since it is such a good spreader, it m ay need to be cut back from hardscapes such as sidewalks. On softer paths, foot traffic often will keep it in check. The berries are edible, but not really palatable. “Another sun-loving strawberry is the Virginia wild strawberry, Fragaria virginiana ,” M cM ahan said. “A t least one o f the sub-species is native to the Willamette Valley, although the species itself is native to most o f the U.S. To find the best locally adapted kinds, purchase plants from a native p la n t n u rse ry or from a n o th e r documented source.” Not quite as vigorous or aggressive as the coast strawberry, the Virginia w ild straw berry has lighter green leaves and its berries are edible and tasty, but small. The third native is the w oodland strawberry, Fragaria vesca. As the common name suggests, woodland strawberry does well in the shade. The leaves are larger and bluer than the other species. It likes conditions that are slightly moister and does not grow as aggressively. However, it has larger flowers and tasty fruits. S e v e ra l su b s p e c ie s m ay be p u rc h a se d lo c a lly . “F o r th o se interested in other varieties, a nice one with variegated green and white leaves som etim es is a v a ila b le ,” M cMahan said.
