Questions On 4-H
Work Answered
What is 4-H? 4-H is
4-H Club work, an education-
al program for boys and girls,
was started in Van Zandt coun-
ty many years ago.
At present there are 12 clubs
with a membership of 600. This
is about an average enrollment
for the past 10 years. Some 30
men and women serve as com-
munity and project leaders for
the boys and girls enrolled in
club work. These men and wom-
en given freely of their time and
talent so that the boys and
girls may have the benefit and
training provided through 4-H.
Without these public-spirited
men and women it would be im-
possible to conduct a successful
4-H program.
Club work not only teaches
boys and girls better farm and
home methods and skills. It
gives them training and experi-
ence in citizenship, community
life, character building, and spir-
itual development
The work is conducted on a
community basis with a planned
program including project work,
recreation and activities such
as health, safety, conservation,

The 70 projects available deal
with practically every phase of
farming and homemaking. Many
of the projects require little, if I
any, expense by the member.
4-H boys and girls are kept
quite busy "learning by doing.”
Last year members in home eco-
nomics projects planned and
prepared meals; they froze and
canned fruits and vegetables;
they made garments in clothing
projects; they made articles in
improving their rooms.
Members enrolled in Agricul-
tural projects owned and cared
for dairy animals, beef ani-
mals, sheep, swine and horse.
In electricity, woodwork and
rope projects, they made many
