They were guests at the Bud McGooden ranch near Dunning. One of the main highlights of their trip waa the round-up of cows and calves, sorting the calves from the cows and then the branding of the calves. Each of the youths took part in catching, roping and holding calves for branding. This was interesting to the youths since they usually see the calves at about 400 pounds and ready for 4-H'ers Learn To Fit Lambs Thirty 4-H club members and leaders learned how to fit lambs for the show. The workshop was held July 18, in the Fair barn in Weeping Water. After a de monstration by Ted Doane, Ex tension Animal Husbandman, the 4-H'e:s went to work. In a ccuple hours of carding and clipping some pretty neat looking lambs were seen. It was a successful workshop: the boys and girls learned how to fit the lambs, and even though the lambs were glad when their haircuts were ; finished, they were very presentable. The payoff was the finest lamb show at the County fair, in many years. Fun was had when the din ner was served at the corral out on the open range. One afternoon, the group drove to Halsey and toured the National Forest which covers 90,000 acres and all the trees are man-planted. There they saw the new state 4-H camp which the entire state Is helping to build. Returning to the ranch, a great sport was taking a dip in the "Ole Swimming Hole" which was a nice cool running sand hill river. Those who went were Larry and Lyle Engelkemier, Bobby and Mickey . Jacobsen, ..Barbara and Beverly Philpot, Diana Dietl, Mary Livingston, Larry Gregg, . Steve Klemme and Sandra Jameson. Mrs. John Dietl and Mrs. Laurance Gregg furnished the cars.

The proof that it pays is shown by the Wisconsin studies. Their studies show that boys who had 1-4 years of 4-H adopt ed new farming practices much more rapidly than boys who did not participate in 4-H. just as significant was the increase in participation, of 4-H'ers who were in 4-H, five or more years as opposed to those who had groups to early adoption of new from 1-4 years of 4-H. , The relationship of the three farming practices are as fol lows: No 4-H 47 . 1 to 4 years 4-H..,. ,.56 : 5 or more years j . .83" The most fruitful years, of 4-H'ers efforts are for those .in the. .teen's.
