4 H club trip and scholarship details from 1940 Banner Year
The article describes a $25 scholarship for an outstanding 4 H club boy with no prior out of state trip. In August a group of 21 boys from two counties toured ten southern and central states by rented truck, with meals in relay teams and cots for sleeping outdoors. The trip produced a $7 surplus divided into cash prizes for story contests. Marvin McMillian Jr. of Mason County won first place. Between July and September, 1,250 feet of film captured 4 H demonstrations and district encampment scenes, titled 4 H club boys at work and play, to be shown districtwide by March 15. The film has already screened in Coleman County for about 1,400 people across ten showings. Each district county pursues soil and water conservation demos, joint by Extension Service and Soil Conservation Service, covering roughly seven farms and 2,500 acres. Five year plans with farmers aim to demonstrate soil and water control.
