Four-Leaf Clover Symbol
Known to Millions
Most people consider U Rood
fortune to spot a four-leaf clo
ver. But those who find a four
leaf clover with an "H" on each
leaf are even more fortunate,
says County Extension Agent
Marjorie Wilcoxen.
The WTpll-known symbol of
4-H has served one out of every
five adults In the United States.
These 23 million alumni and
some 2.2 million 4-H boys and
Cirls currently enrolled, provide

perhaps most important of all,
4 H members grow stronger to
gether, learning to be respon
sible citizens and competent
leaders.
Through a unique organiza
tional structure, 4-H is cooper
atively sponsored by the Ex
tension Service at three levels
of government. It is carried on
at the county level by profes
sional extension agents and a
corps of volunteer leaders and
advisers. Statewide, the 4-H pro
gram draws upon the State
Land-Grant University for edu
cational resources and direction.
Nationally, the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, administers
the program as the youth phase
of the Extension Service. Profes
sional workers at all levels work
with a half million volunteer
adult and junior leaders in con
stantly adjusting the 4-H pro
gram to serve the interests and
needs of youth.
The 4-H project, a highly suc
cessful educational method, is
made more interesting with
complementing activities. These
offer variety to all boys and
girls, whether they live in the
country, suburbs, or the city.
Some of the most popular areas
(are: family living, personal de
velopment, home management,
i conservation, engineering, horse
land community beaut if ication.
Boys and girls value their 4-H
training as they participate in
school, church and community
groups and activities. Their lives
are enriched by having found
that lucky four-leaf clover with
the four "H's".
Call your county extension
agents at 676-9642. They have a
head, heart, hands and health

4-H Clubs Say
Conservation
Everybody's Job
It's everybody's lob to help
conserve the nation's natural
resources, because destruction or
preservation of soils, minerals,
forests and wildlife will affect
every man, woman and child.
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.
