Cowis afre down. --Foodl steady. Dog care is on the increase. And horses are double a yiear ago. - i Hurt's a highlight report on 4-H participation in projects by McHenry county's 1,340 boys and girls members as the 1968 McHenry County Fair approaches rapidly. The trend shows definite patterns; today dog care, photography, electricity-to name a few among the hundreds ofpossible projects--show increased participation. About 120 have horse projects, double of a year ago and perhaps four times those who had horses four or five years ago. Trend away from dairying in the county is evident, ^ too, and the beef projects--on \the rise a few years ago--shows signs of leveling. McHenry county has fortyfour 4-H clubs with youngsters 9 to 19 fitting into one of three categories. Says David Smith, personable young assistant extension adviser, "Those who live on a farm total 647. Those in cities or small towns number 450. That leaves 200 in rural non-farm areas, so you can see the trend toward 4-H participation by non-farm boys and girls is increasing significantly." The choice of projects, of course, reflects this. You'll see the projects on display at the fair Aug. 1 to 4. Many will be judged at the fair. Many of them also will be in the unique "Parade of 4-H" planned as a modernized program for . dajr<%Jield i and Mrs. I bi>rroonn.. Ther sent.

WE CATER TO PARTIES, WEDDINGS AND BANQUETS Closed Mondays Varest liifiirant 4-H Night, Friday, Aug. 2. ' A® might be expected, iriterest in clothing and foods remains high. However, pro* jects with bigger animals are on the wane. ON REVIEW Everything from sheep to dogs, clothes to rabbits, will go on review and Brad Scott, manager of Northern Pump Farm, will Serve as master of ceremonies. "We wanttoshow what 4-H is and what it offers today's eager teen-ager", sayal Miss Sharon Zook, assistant extension adviser. Climaxing the evening will be the crowning of the 4-H king and queen, chosen by popular vote of county 4-H members from among the six king and queen finalists selected earlier by the Extension Service Youth committee from nominees. An interesting trend finds boys taking what used to be considered strictly girls' projects. Vice versa, and its for the betterment of the participants. Boys enjoy, gardening and outdoor cooking. They like flower arranging. Girls are enjoying electricity, photography and sheep blocking. One good beef project shows increased interest, and this may be significant. The rate-of-gain class has more steers entered, showing young people want to produce quality beef at an efficient pace. These animals were weighed and marked earlier in the year by the group in charge. At fair time comes the final record-checking and announcement of winners. One major new arena of interest comes under the 4-H Rangers, a whole i&w. project W in scope and leadership. Story . ticipants take a sub-unit in this' field, such as wildlike, soil,' water, forestry, entymology, or conservation-. This has obvious appeal to the urban 4-H members who find it a way to become intimately acquainted with a world that most farmboys and girls learned by living in the country. • HERE AND TJTTM I*BUSINESS , OPEN HOUSE The public open house towelcome visitors to the A.N.
