Harvester's plant was one of the pluces visited. This "tour" was the forerunner of the Wat Inrtal 411 Coni;rf!i held annu allv in C'hlcHL'o. blnc-e that time. International Harvester has been a staunch backer of 4 11. For the last 14 years the firm has sponsored the national 4 11 Ai;rlcultu ra 1 awards prouram. The sponsor chip was made possible through the combined ertorts of the Co- operative Extension Service and the National 411 S'rvice Com mittee, according to Norman C Mindrum. director of the 4-11 Service Committee.

The broad program Includes many projects In addition to livestock and crops. Club members participating In the program may engage In oth er projects such as entomology, conservation, veterinary science, electric, horticulture, tractor and small engines. Living on a farm Is not a prerequisite for learn ing about agriculture, but ac tual farm experience is helpful, 1 11 leaders point out. Since four out of 10 workers in the U. S. depend on agricul ture for their Jobs. It Is easy to nee why 4-ii'ers are so Interest ed In the many phases of agri culture. Seek Jobs Off Farm Most of the 4-H "craduates" will undoubtedly seek Jobs off the farm. Those olannlnff on a college education will profit from experience in agri business gained through their 4-11 proj ects. All alx 19C7 national 4 II Agri cultural scholarship winners carried livestock or crops proj ects. Two already are In college pursuing agrk-ultural courses. The other four, still In high school, emphatically stated that they plan to become full-time farmers. The six boys live on farms ranging from 19 to 3,000 acres. The 18 national champion will be announced during the National 4-H Congress the first week in December. County and Mate award winners will be named earlier by the Extension Service. Besides county medals, and expense-paid trips to the 4-H Congress, International Harvest er will give six StiOO scholar ships, an Increase of $100 over iut7. The 4-H Club plan now cir cles the globe. About 75 other countries around the world have -H Clubs or similar youth or ganizations. 4-H Members and Leaders: CONGRATULATIONS ON For All Your Shoe Needs COME TO: GO N TVS Air Step Acme Boots Red Wing Hush Puppies Miss Wonderful Charm Step La Crosse Also Transistor Radios & Record Players 4-H Girls Vie For Best Batch Of Bread. Rolls SPECIAL If one can visualize a mountain of piping hot, de licious homemade loaves of broad, coffee cakes and rolls, the pictures might well represent the output or more tnan a nan- million young 4-H bakers. While there is no way to measure the thousands of doz ens of rolls and loaves of bread baked by girls enrolled in the national 4-H Bread program, their records do provide some figures. For instance, a Kansas girl has made over 1,000 dozen rolls (a total of some 12,000) and r.earlv 300 loaves of bread, bv ervtime a Wyoming miss kneads a batch of dough, she pops 70 rolls and eight loaves ot bread into the oven; much to the de light of her school chums who stop by on baking days. Quantity, however, is not the main goal of this learning-to make-bread project, according to extension home economists and 4-H leaders who supervise the educational program. Delve Into Science Club members delve into the science of veast bread baking Among other things they learn what causes yeast to make bread rise, and why bread prod ucts are necessary to well-bal anced daily meals. They study basic nutrition, and experiment with recipes of their own. Throughout the state, 4-H girls have perfected demonstrations on television. One Oklahoma girl made it a practice to send a basic yeast loll recipe to brides and low in come families in her communi ty. She points out that home made bread saves money and provides extra nourishment as well. By participating in this pro gram, the older teen girl gets a good start on preparing for her future role as a homemaker. Skills learned in 4-H are use ful throughout a lifetime. Firm Gives Awards The bread program has a sponsor: Standard Brands Incor porated. In cooperation with the National 4-H Service Committee and the Cooperative Extension Service, Standard Brands annu ally offers county, state and na tional awards. Last year alone, nearly 5,600 girls won county medals. The medals are presented on the ba sic of four per county, so the recipient has to be exceptionally capable to make out over her competition. Winning the state championship is even more de manding, because most county winners compete for state hon ors and a trip to the National 4-H Congress in Chicago. The top prize is a $000 schol arship which goes to the na tion's six outstanding bread project members. All winners are selected by the 4-H staff of the Cooperative Extension Service. raw mi We Salute the World's Largest Rural Youth Organization During Their Week.
