Huron county’s 4-H program,
already embracing a record 531
members, will be larger than
ever next year, Agricultural Rep
resentative G. W. Montgomery
predicted at the co.unty Achieve
ment Night in Wingham on Fri
day.After outlining the growth of
clubs from 14 to 30 in the past
foux* years with the total enrol-'
ment almost tripling, the ag rep
said “we expect a biggex* and
bettex* program in 1956.”
“The 4-H movement is one of
the most important agricultural
programs today,” Mr, Montgom
ery told a crowd of 1,000 mem
bers and adults in the Wingham
high school,
the best crop we hi
and girls.”
He urged
between the ages of 12 and 20
to join one of more 4-H honxe-
making or agricultural clubs next
year.
The ag rep paid tribute to the
71 volunteer club leaders, his as-
sitants Harold Baker and Arthur
Bolton, and others who co-oper
ated to make the 4-H progranx a
success.

Urges Participation
R. Q. Bennett, director of ex-
tension for the Ontario Depart
ment of Agriculture, urged young
people to prepare themselves for
the responsibility of taking over
the agricultural industry by par
ticipating in the 4-H movement.
He noted the percentage of the
nation’s population engaged in
farm activities is decreasing year
,by year and that when the youth
of today assume the reigns of
farming, that percentage will be
much smaller than it is today.
He urged the 4-H members
to specialize in certain phases of
agriculture.
The sight of 500 boys and girls
in the hall wearing their 4-H
sweaters was an impressive one,
Mr. Bennett said. “It must give
every .parent and every club lead
er a tremendous thrill to see
these young people here tonight.
Earlief this year they set a goal
to reach and tonight they are in
dicating that they
plished this goal.”

OFFERS YOU
A couple of weeks ago We
scored the Jackpot system of the
4-H 'Beef Club here in 'Ontario.
But let’.s look at the matter with
an open m'ind.
You feel .sorry, don’t you, for
the 4-H boy or girl who just mis
ses the “jackpot” winning with
a fed steer at the fair? And for
the rest of the kids, all down the
line?
You thrill along wit'h everybody
else during the tense moments
when the judge picks .the cham
pion, Later on you love the hul
labaloo of the auction, when the
packer buyers and the local busi
nessmen bid against each other
for the advertising value oif
ing a “record price”
champion baby beef.
But, at the same

parents are completely sold

the way most junior cattle-feed
ing projects are run, and if you
do that’s OK by me. But if you’re
skeptical, you’ll be interested in
hearing how it’s done in iBuena
Vista County, Iowa. There, they
discouraged 4-H boys and girls
from feeding a single beef calf
for -a “jackpot” winning. Instead,
they encourage the 4-H’ens 'to
feed five head at a-'time, bn “a
sound, business-like, practical bas
is.”
Over each pen entry hiangs a
card telling the ten imost impor
tant things. These are (1) the
original cost per hundredweight;’
(2) the average weight when pur
chased; (3) the total first cost
per steer or heifer; (4) the aver
age weight of the five head at
fair time; ('5) the number of
days on feed; (6) the average
daily gain; (7) total feed cost
per animal; (8) feed Cost per 100
pounds oif gain; (9) the selling
price that boy or girl would need
to break even; and (10) what
and how the pen was fed.
The 38 pens included practical
ly all grades and ages of fed cat
tle, some that cost less than 20
cents a pound laid in, and some
that cost twice that, .gome bore
western brands, some were “na
tives.” They were typical of what
you’d find if you went from farm
to farm in most cattle-feeding
areas,
Seven pens nevex* got to the
Fair — the youngsters had sold
before they “lost any more mon
ey.”
■But most o'f the pens 'that did
get there made money; not much,
but enough to come out. And
they made it because (1) the
purchase price was low, and (2)
the bulk of the grain was put oh
cheaply. And the facts and fig
ures were there .for anybody to
study,
Anothex* interesting thing: The
4-H beef calves are placed at the
fair, but that isn’t the final 'plac
ing: Furthermore, a first placing
at the fair only counts 10 points
toward the final, A second prize
counts seven points, and a third
prize five,
Other points depend on the
,boy or girl. -Practical feeding ar
rangement on 'the farm may earn
as much as 10 points, profit pex*
dollar invested 20 points, average
daily gain 10, -dressing perceh-:
tage 15, economy of gain 15 and
neat and efficient records 20
points. Those who qualfly on all
counts are honored with Master
Beef Producer Awards.
They -want their 4-H boys and
girls to learn the cattle-feeding
business from beginning to end,
and from every* angle. The only
squawking reported on system
was from the old-time “jackpot”
