The lone Trail Riders 4-H club
had Its last meeting for the
season on Monday, September
ii. Members got their books in
order to be sent in. They also
had a test. All those present
agreed to give Mrs. Linnell and
Mrs. Hammond a vote of con
fidence and a thank you for
their time and effort spent in
making our club a success. Re
freshments were served by Mrs.
Linnell and Mrs. Zinter.

cultural program enrolls almost
million boys and girls In 50
states and Puerto Rico. 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 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.
