3 1941 ANNUAL REPORT This narrative report is to be a resume of the activities carried on by your County Agricultural Agent under the direction of your County Agricultural Committee in cooperation with the State and Federal extension service. On page 2 you have seen the program of work of 1940-41 as outlined by the County Agricultural Committee for your County Agent. This program of work has served to direct my activities during the past twelve months. As you will notice, certain goals have been set up; most of these goals have been reached. At the time this program was written on October 17, 1940, indications were that all of the goals would be reached during the year. However, conditions arose which made it virtually impossible to obtain all of the goals set forth by the program of work. 4-H CLUB WORK 393 St. Croix county farm boys and girls were enrolled in our club program during 1941. The principal projects carried by the club members included dairy calf work, clothing, food preserv- ation, foods and nutritions, and garden project. Other projects were participated in by smaller numbers. National Club Congress As a reward for being the outstanding club member in St. Croix county in 1940, Pearl Marty of the Worthwhile Club in the town of St. Joseph, was awarded a free trip to Chicago in December to the National 4-H Club Congress. This trip is one which is much sought after by club members in all counties. This trip proved a real experience for Pearl, and she has brought back to club work some very fine experiences encountered on the trip. State Club Camp The annual State 4-H Club Camp was held at the College of Agriculture Campus at Madison. Six delegates, accompanied by Miss Snoeyenbos, Summer Club leader, attended the conference from St. Croix county. The delegates were: Margaret Brown, Betty Schafer, Marion Sontag, Pearl Marty, Frances Jagg, and Janette MoPhetres. This Camp is sponsored primarily for older club momb- ers and Junior leaders, and we were glad to have the group attend for St. Croix county so they might bring back to our clubs many of the things they learned while at State Camp. 4-H PICNIC Our annual 4-H picnic was held at the Glen Park at River Falls on July 10. This was a joint picnic with 4-H club members from Pierce county. Over 700 club members, leaders, parents, and friends from the two counties attended. A full program was arrang- ed, including crops judging, training work on clothing, handicraft, songs, stunts, and swimmIng. The Dairy Quoen contest was conduct- ed at this picnic, and Miss Ruth TeBoest of Baldwin was declared the Dairy Queen for 1941. Her two attendants wore Miss Frances
