An interesting read on 4-H. Here's an excerpt:
The Demonstration Work undertakes to create in the schoolboy a love of
the farm and a new hope by showing the wonderful possibilities of the
soil when properly managed and the ease with which wealth and
distinction are achieved in rural life when science and art join hands.

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will
not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius
will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the
world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone
are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve
the problems of the human race"
~ Calvin Coolidge
