"First of all. let us recognize 3

that 4-}! has made an important

contribution to Agricultural de- « velopment. In the lack of specl-

While 4—H will no doubt continue to affect de- velopment within this industry, we should not limit the problem solely to this objective or we will find less and less need for 4-H due to the decline of the Ag- ricultural industry as an em- ployer of people

What changes in programs are neces- sary to accomplish the broad objectives of rural development where the development of young people is a prime objective as a

“To meet this objective we feel that attention must be first directed to the Club member and second to the project.
