4-H ACHIEVEMENTS
Laar Saturday Nov. 5 saw approxi
mately 150 4-H Club members- and
their leaders and afew parents •
gathered at the Community hall
to servey the past summer's worl^
Other community activies prevent
ed the attendance of many people
who would otherwise have been
there.
It was gratifying to know so mary
Club members had completed their
projects, which qualified them
for a 4-H pin. Presentation of
Pina by Don Irwin, together with
a short talk was enjoyed by those
present. Miss Zimmerman discuss
ed record books and gave amoe
new interesting side lights on
records. Stating that records of
daily accomplishments may be' of
various forms, but the main fact
to remember i3 the recorded
knowledge of daily accomplishments
which will serve to tell us wheth
er or not we are advancing. A
record is a set of facts on work
already done, from which many
conclusions can be drawn. There -
fore records arc important.
Each Club had a part in the days
program, which testified to hard
work on many different subjects.
Interesting Club reports were
given and many records were road
by tho 'individual club members.
The outstanding club in the valley
was the North Star Club, the
Denali being a close second.
TAKE ADVANTAGE ON SUNURINE
FOR YOUR CHICKENS
With layers confined to the
house for the remainder of the
fall and winter there is little
opportunity for them to come in
contact with th^ direct rays of
the sun. It is a well established
fact that sunshine holds many
benefits for chickens as well as
for other kind3 of livestock and
human beings. Chickens that run
cut in the summer sunshine store
up much of the sunshine's benefits
that last them for awhile after
they are put in the laying houses
and confined. However, after
several weeks of confinement, the
beneficial effects of the sunshine
begin to wear off, production is
likely to drop off, soft shell
eggs begin to appear in the flock
and the birds are apt to lose
much of their vitality.
Ordinary window glass filters
out the beneficial ultra-violet
rays of the sunshine and this ex
plains why these difficulties
appear in cinfined flocks.
However, pcultrymen can avoid
these difficulties- by using in
trie windows of thoir poultry
houses glass substitutes or
special glass that permits the
ultra-violet rays of the sun to
enter, -^-t is well, therefore, to
install such materials in the win**
-lows of the poultry house in order
to prevent difficulty later on with
such things as soft shell eggs,
rickety legs, and lowered vility.
Naturally, it must be understood
that birds must be fed at all
times on a, complete ration that
contains the nocesaary elements
that thojr need to maintain their
bodies and to produce. The ultra
violet rays of the sunshine makes
it possible for the layers to
make the greatest possible use
of the ingredients in this ration.
Some men think it's their work
that is buronsome, when it’s the
chip on their shoulder that’s
holding them down.
