if mRappahannock too. It said that each member that carried’ a project must demonstrate and help another boy or girt , ieam better methods.
It read “A Demonstration that Demonstrate*” Below is a report of a 1st year poultry club demonstration that demonstrated. The club member wrote the following to the county agent February 2. “My Chickens arel doing fine and I get eight to ten Igp ilJiy and onr day l got twelve from my thirteen pullets. Don’t you think that is going good?” Sincerely, Gladys Newman. P.S. “I got 178 eggs in January.” *
Mr. Preston, the county agent, says.' “The enclosed card is from a first year club member in a community (Viewtown) where there was not a single purebred flock until last spring when the club members’ chicks started to hatch. This girt sold a lot of her cockerels Tight in the community for $1.50 each and has had many orders for hatching eggs, which she is selling for $1 a setting. A 4-H dub was organized last year and the devdopment in the community brought on by club work is very interesting. Gladys exhibited some of her poultry at the Rappahannock, Culpeper, and State fairs, and got within the winnings at each place.”
By 1928, Gladys Newman made the highest score in the state on poultry judging but getting back to 1926, the clubs of the county held a quarterly meeting at WoodviHe and a rule was adopted whereby anyone who did not turn in records was dropped from the dub and no poultry dub member who sold pullets from the first hatch » could remain in club work. This was done to build up a laying flock which was the object of the poultry clubs.
A clipping telling die resuk of club work in Virginia as a whole in 1926 lists 74 counties having 4-H clubs as contrasted with 52 in 1924. Competition was getting stiffer but Rappahannock continued to win.
A letter from the President of the United States, Calvin Cooiidfee to the 4-H clubs and the Boy Scouts:
“As we go into the New Year, I send you my greetings and best wishes for health and happiness ini the coming twelve months.
“In my holiday message a year agjcj I pointed out the many advantages of membership in associations such as yours. If we should try to express their prindples in a single word, that word, it seems to me would be “Helpfulness.” You help ohers and you help yourself by helping others.
"I congratulate you on the accomplishments of 1926 and know you will have abundant opportunities for usefulness in 1927.
“We get happiness from doing a little more than is necessary, and from doing things as near right as we can.
“Our communities and our country are the better because of what you, boys and girls are, what you do, and what you wiH mean to our social and economic lift as the men and women of he future.”
