of the country, rural youth
groups began organizing, mo
stly to study improved agri
culture methods.
Between 1901 and 1905,
leaders of these groups met
to discuss problems and set,
up a general pattern of oper
ation. Years later, the namei
4-H was adopted, along with
the emblem. In 1914 the
Smith-Lever act, establish
ing the extension service was
passed, including what was
known then as “boys and
girls club work ”
Since then, the national 4-
H program has had more
than 20 million members,
many of whom have gone
mtb club leadership and ex
tension work, with many
more graduating into succes
sful farmers and farm wives.

average off eight American

4-H Has Changed
As the face of American
agriculture has changed, so
has 4-H. The typical group
of abashed! and awkward 1
“country kids”, who made up>
a 4-H club 3ust a few years
ago would be hard to reco
gnize in today’s club meet
ings.
Often yesterday’s club
member sat at a straight-ba
cked school desk, overalled
and barefooted, his
lunch of soda biscuits 'and!
bacon, while the county ag
ent helped conduct the meet-,
mg.
Today’s club members of
ten travel many miles to an
evdmng meeting, arriving
“spic ~n’ span” in sport or
with more years
