4-H Basketball Tournament Favored by Clubs
Questionnaires from 4-H leaders and committee members show a majority of clubs favor a 4-H basketball tournament for boys and girls with Emmetsburg as the preferred site. The week after the state high school tournament for boys is suggested. Some cards remain unreturned but current trends favor this plan. Farmers are invited to offer surplus Clinton oats for seed due to high demand. Baby beef feeders show many excellent calves this year across three breeds, though some infested with lice, grubs, or mange. A recommended treatment uses rotenone, detergent, linseed or benzene isomer solutions, applied on calm days with calves sheltered from wind.
