Projects and Prizes
As you look over the club roll —for 1934 notice that there were _OPly around six or eight different projects, corn, small fruit, pig, poultry, etc. One reason for this was that there waa no home agent in the county at that time and girls were carrying much the same projects as the boys. Compare those projects to the number and variety offered now. Club members can win awards on everything from entertaining and recreation to entomology or insect collecting, fr.om citizenship to public speaking. Most of these projects were not offered in the first years of club work. Field crops, canning, poultry, meat animal and similar projects are still the backbone of most club work but boys can now take tractor maintenance, soil and water conservation or forestry, to name a few. Girls can take frozen foods, home improvement, dairy foods, or anyone of a number of clothing and dress revue projects.
Both boys and girls compete in safety, recreation, leadership, gardon, health improvement, electric, beautification of home grounds and achievement contests. Records also can win prizes. Some Other contests include community relations, knitting, better grooming, ironing, laundry, crocheting, and dairy achievement. —
Tift meat animal projects include calf and pig, market lambs and rabbits. All of these are carried in this county. Field crops include corn, wheat and other small grain. Our boys are carrying corn projects and some have raised a hundred bushels per acre and belong to the corn club. Boys are also carrying poultry, dairy, and the rural electrification projects. If possible, this Spring the tractor maintenance project will be offered.
