the 28th of March this year* This date is
one month earlier than last year. All
parents of 4-H boys and girls are urged to
not forget this date and be there in order
to give their support to the children. We
do not have all details cf the fair at
this time, other than the date.
Mr, Barry Freeman, county 4-H leader,
will be in Sells on Thursday, March 6th,
to check the calves and othep 4-H work
prior to the Fair.
The calves, in'general, are better
than last year, but are not as well fin
ished as we had hoped. If we can make im
provement each year, it. won’t be long un
til we will be giving the rest .of. the
county some stiff, competition. ! e are
pleased with the interest that the boys
have taken this year in.-their calves.
One boy had the misfortune to have
his calf get loose twice this year for
several weeks,* which has caused the calf
to lose the weight that he had put on.
Another year we are sure he will try harder
to keep his calf up all year.
We will haVe a report in our next
issue of the paper about the results of
the Fair, And don't forget that the date
of the' Fair is March 28th.’
