Upward of a million new project* to improve rural life are beginning this Spring. Thi* is the way Agriculture De partment officials look upon the work of 1,200,000 farm boys and girls who belong to the 4-H Clubs. The figure represents a new peak for enrollment in 4-H Club work, which has been carried on by the de partment's extension division in co operation with States and counties sinoe 1914. There are clubs now in every State and territory of the United States. Final report^ on last year’s partici pation have not yet been received, but there were 469,129 boys and 654, 558 girls enrolled in 45 States. This was an lncrase of 125,943 over 1935. Trains for Usefulness. The club work is aimed at enrich ing farm life and training farm boys and girls for greater usefulness. To Dr. C. B. Smith, assistant ex tension director, it 1s “the most sig nificant movement among rural peo ple today.” “It is building rural leadership of the highest character," he said. Smith said 4-H work—training for head, hands, heart and health—was not altogether to promote better farm ing. “We know,” he said, “that a third to a half of the boys and girls who are born on the farm are likely to find work in our cities and towns, there to become merchants, clerks, teachers, bankers, lawyers, doctors, preachers, foremen In shops and la borers in many fields. How impor tant it is that those who come to the cities shall be clean, wholesome, edu cated, right-thinking youth—men and women who have learned the virtues of work and of thrift.” Extra Profit a Side Issue. Smith said the 4-H movement un doubtedly had added millions of dol lars to the farm income but that his interest in the movement was more in what it had done to improve farm life and the character of farm youth. "To the Nation 4-H Club work means more than a million rural youths annually constructively em ployed in putting co demonstrations of the better way in farming and home-making throughout the Nation, the better way in family and com munity life, the better co-operative and social way," he said.
