NOTES FROM YOUR
EXTENSION SERVICE
BY MARYLOU LASHBROOK
4 H GARDEN WINNERS
Each year, about a week before
the opening of the Fair, 4-H gar
dens are judged at the garden .
spot. There were 49 4-H gardens
this year and it was truly a task
for the judges choose the three
prize winners.
Gardens are judged as to gen
eral appearances, correct number
of varieties (each year a garden I
project asks for a specific amount
of ground and certain number of
varieties) and management. This
includes, uniformity of plants,
properly thinned plot, healthy
plants, no insects, no weeds and
ground cultivated properly.
Perhaps gardens should be
judged as to the attitude of the
gardener, how much pushing was
required on the part of the parent
to get him out to care for the gar
den: or how much knowledge of
gardening was learned, any im
provement over last year, econo
mically was the garden a “good
thing.”
Remembering then, the 4-H
club slogan. “To win without
boasting: to lose without squeal
ing”, here are the 1951 4-H gar
den winners: Larry Trowbridge,
first: Ronald Jensen, second; and 1
