What A 4-H
By CALEB
I think the most Interesting ex
ample I have heard of the value of
4-H Club work to girls is in the
history of Ruthe Nance of Ham
mond, Georgia, who was one of the
winners of a $500 Agriculturla Col
lege scholarship at the 4-H Con
gress last December.
What this girl has got out oi her
club work, it seems to me, is what
she has put into it That is an that
anybody gets out of any phase of
life. And what Ruth Nance put in
to her club work is told in the
scrap-book which she submitted
and which told the story that won
her the prize.
This scrap book of hers would be
as interesting to most farm people
as any story they could read. The
book is about two inches thick and
the pages are the size of a large
magazine. The covers are heavy
peach-colored paste board and
bound in green cloth. There is a
futuristic design on the cover with
the symbols, 4-H. Green tape ties
are set in the three open sides of
the book to keep the contents intact
when not in use.
Then we open it First comes the
form blank which Ruthe was re
quired to fill out and which gives
in outline the most important facts
in her club career. It shows she
began her club work when 11 years
old with an unusually large pro
gram gardening, food preserva
tion, cooking and nutrition, and
clothing. The next year she re
peated, while the third year she
added home improvement She con
tinued this the next year and add
ed one more health making six
projects. She was putting a lot
into her club work, but she got out
a lot her record shows.
Not satisfied with this program,
she added orcharding and recrea
tion in 1929. And in 1330 she took
on leadership, continuing all the
projects of the year before.
Listen to this for 1931. All of the
projects of the previous year were
continued and these were the re
sults: One-half acre garden pro
duced 2979 pounds of vegetables;
one-half acre orchard produced
4765 pounds of fruit; in food pres
ervation she put up 150 jars of veg
etables and 188 of fruit; in clothing
made 92 articles; carried out sched
ule in home improvement by man
aging her parents' household for
three weeks, improving the kitchen,
living room, porch and lawn; cook
ed 632 dishes; kept health chart for
six months; was captain of the
country girls at the state camp as
one feature of her leadership pro
ject. And only one year's projects,
remember.
All of these projects Ruthe car
ried on with high intelligence and
energy, and as would be expected
many responsibilities were placed
on her shoulders and many honors
came her way. She filled every of
fice of the Hammond Girls 4-H club

of 22 members, to which she be
longed. It would be a long story
to tell all of the rewards earned by
this young lady, which included six
trips to the county and state camps
and one trip to the National 4-H
Club Congress in Chicago. One of
her greatest winnings was first
prize in the contest at that expo
sition for a complete girls' outfit
With all of her club projects she
still found time to take an active
part in school, church and com
munity affairs. The report on her
record is signed by Miss Lucy
Wood, county extension agent, and
Miss Lurline Collier, state leader
of girls.
In neat large lettering Miss Nance
sets down the 14 titles of her club
experience on an opening page of
her scrap book headed "Contents."
Then comes a page labelled, "In
appreciation'" in a hand decorated
border with a picture of Miss Col
lier and appropriate sentiments in
Ruthe's handwriting. On the next
page are pictures of Dr. Andrew
M. Soule, president of the State
college, James P. Campbell, direct
or of extension, and Miss Mary E.
Creswell, assistant director.
Then comes a chapter on "His
tory and Achievements of My Club"
in hand lettering and an ink sketch
of a girl at work. One of the two
kodak pictures on the page is of
Ruthe's club- in 1929 with the ban
ner it won. It was hard to get
much done the first year or two af
ter the club was organized, but the
leadership of Miss Wood and a well
organized program of work and
play gradually brought the club up
to a standard. This page shows
kodak pictures of the money raising
stunts of the club at the county fair
which included pony rides and a
country store. There Is a clear pic
ture of the home demonstration
club of women started through the
work of the 4-H club, and one of a
baby show. Another page shows
the banner won by the club at the
county camp in 1931, the neat brick
club house and a prize flower ex
hibit Running around the pic
tures is the story of the club's
growth in Ruthe's handwriting.
Then comes a chapter on Leader
ship, done in the same way as the
one before. In this the author club
girl lists a page of activities, among
them cashier in a cafeteria in the
high school, and program chair
man of the home economics club.
A page of clippings and three news
paper illustrations of leadership
stunts follow. Then a page photo
of the pageant, "Ten Virgins," giv
en by Ruthe's county club group at
the state camp in 1930, and a page
photo of the characters in the play
put on by her county group the
same year. This play was entitled
"The Arrival of Club Work"
"Gardening" titles the next chap
ter with a hand sketch of garden
products In the six pages devoted

to this are 17 kodak pictures of the
club girl's garden showing her at
work preparing and seeding it and
gathering and preparing vegetables
for canning. One picture shows a
group of girls studying plant dis
eases Ruthe employed modern gar
den tools and a hot bed A table
shows the lineal feet given over to
the 19 different vegetables raised.
Two pages are given over to "Or
charding" and treated in the same
way as the garden chapter. The
club girl's planting included 2000
strawberry plants. One picture
shows her inspecting her orchard
for blight and another waist deep
in a luxuriant cover crop of win
ter peas. In several blossom pic
tures she appears, but her own at
tractiveness overshadows even the
lovely blossom.
Canning and food preservation
occupy two pages; also interesting
ly illustrated and written up. Cook
ery takes a page with a picture of
a steam pressure demonstration.
Clothing is a big chapter with three
full page photos of Ruthe showing
demonstration, recreation, and a
her first prize winning outfit A
newspaper illustration shows her
demonstrating the utility of cotton.
There is a page on health with a
swimming suit pictured among oth
ers. Home improvement occupies
three illustrated pages, one picture
showing how the girls learned to
become "charming" hostesses. Fi
nally come chapters on livestock,
financial and prize record A 3-col-umn
newspaper picture shows the
five Georgia 4-H girls who won trips
to Chicago in 1930 waving goodbye
from the observation platform of
the Dixie Flyer. Concluding the
scrapbook are the original records
kept by Miss Nance on her projects.
Miss Nance is one of three sis
ters each of whom has made a fine
record in club work. One of them
won a scholarship in a contest at
the Southeastern fair.
That's the story and that's the
MWh
answer as to what a girl may get
out of club worn.

To the woman in the home, alertly watchful over her
household budget, passwords are important. Everything of
fered for sale is subject to suspicion unless it bears the counter
sign the familiar trade-mark the name of a manufacturer

She studies the advertising columns. From them she
determines values, and decides what she will buy and where.
She knows that advertised goods are safe goods, backed by
the reputation of the maker and the merchant.
When she goes shopping whether for a bottle of ktchup

"Who goes there?" And if it has the password of advertised
excellence she makes her purchase without hesitation.
