Fine Response at
Practice Judging Day.
An unusually finb response from
Cass county 4-II clubs was noted at
the District Judging Day held at Lin
coln, Friday, June 12th. A total of
63 leaders and members enrolled in
home economics clubs in Cass county,
attended, to take advantage of the
classes for practice judging. Of this
total, 29 girls and 9 leaders are en
rolled in girls room projects, 2 girls
and 1 leader are enrolled for can
ning, G girls and 2 leaders are en
rolled in cooking, and 10 girls and 3
leaders in clothing. A definite check
on the number of boys in attendance
is not available at this writing.
Practice is eight phases of 4-H
work were given, which included ani
mal husbandry, dairy, crops, poultry,
girls room, clothing, baked foods and
canned foods. Actual classes were
judged and the members gave reasons
for their placings, although there
was no scoring for competition.
Binder Trouble Schools.
A series of binder trouble schools
will be held throughout the county
at various farms, during the first
week in July. A farm machinery spe
cialist from the College of Agricul
ture will be in the county to go
over the mechines and their various
troubles at this series of meetings.
Five or six meetings are planned, to
be held about seven o'clock in the
evening and last only 30 or 45 min
utes. The object of these schools is to
acquaint farmers with the various
parts of the binder that cause the
most trouble. Binder troubles, as a
rule, are very simple if you know
where to adjust them or what piece
to replace. Five minutes spent at
these schools might save many hours
in the field. No effort will be made
at these schools to overhaul any
binders but merely show how to make
adjustments on knotters, timing,
twine tension, or correct such trou
bles as untied bundles.
Any one interested in having one
of these schools at their place should
notify the office as the schedule has
not been definitely made as yet.
