Among organlxed groups working diligently to conserve natural resources are the 4-H Clubs and the Cooperative Ex tension Service. They are assist ed by federal conservation agen cies and private organizations as well. The national 4-H Conservation program is supported by John IVere. of Molinc. 111. Among the renetits to the more than 2t0,- iXXi boys and girls enrolled are awards provided by the spon sor. To compete for county, state and national honors, the 4-H'er must complete a conservation project. These range from pre serving wildlife to recording rainfall, oungsters who live on farms or in rural areas are able to improve their hotnesites as thev learn conservation practic es. Kor example, one of the top 4-H conservationists in the na tion last year was 18 year old Jerrv Harke. who lives on a large farm near Hooker, Okla homa. Among other things, he built a farm pond to conserve water run -off. and helped in stall a water pressure system for Irrigating grass in his area. Another champion of conser vation who has just completed his freshman year at the Uni versity of Colorado with the aid of a $500 John Deere scholar ship won last year, hopes to make wildlife management a career. He is Wayne Kn.ipp, 19, whose home is in Alamosa, Colo. He volunteered his serv ices in a waterfowl study con ducted by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service by sending in duck wings to be used in a waterfowl population study af fecting both the U. S. and Can ada. These are but two examples of conservation projects com pleted by thousands of boys and girls. Through demonstra tions, exhibits, recordkeeping, patience and a lot of hard work, they will try for one of several 19t)6 awards. One 4-H member in the state will be named a delegate to the National 4-H Club Congress as guest of John Deere. From all the state winners, six will be judged by a special exten sion service committee for na tional honors and $500 scholar ships. Throughout the counties, hundreds will rate the conser vation medal. fa; :if''4 ' rJ Can you tell which Geigy herbicide was used here? Could be Atrazine, Simazine, or even new Pramitol herbicide.
