C. Seymour, state club leader in the Oregon State college extension service. Here is about the way the line-up looks: In the counties such as Mult nomah where county fairs will be held, the 4-H club exhibits will be included as usual. In counties where no county fair is being held this year the 4-H clubs will hold com munity exhibits in centers conven ient to the most members. From the top exhibits in these community shows, county winners will be pick ed by extension workers or other judges in classifications where coun ty winners are important. Members of livestock clubs pro ducing fat stock, including those in beef, lamb and pig projects, will take their fat stock as usual to the Salem fair grounds on September 9. The animals will be judged the next day and sold at auction September 11. It is pointed out that this will involve no extra transportation as the fat stock must be marketed any way. No breeding stock will be shown. Meanwhile the winning county exhibits in home economics and sim ilar projects will be sent to Salem for judging but will not be accom panied by the 4-H club members. The only members going to Salem will be those in fat stock projects. Arrangements have also been ten tatively made for those 4-H club members from this and other states who normally send fat stock to the Pacific International. Arrangements are being made to handle such stock at the Union Stockyards under a plan somewhat similar to that pro vided at Salem. Best demonstration teams will be selected in each county by the workers there, with scores senc in to the state office. State judges will then visit the counties which appar ently have the best teams and will select state winners in those fields such as dairy production and dairy food demonstrations where national competition is provided. "We may have to give and take a bit under this arrangement because obviously the selections cannot be accurate in all cases as under nor mal procedure," said Seymour. "We intend to do the best we can, how ever, and believe that the results will be satisfactory in view of the wartime difficulties involved."
