The National champion boys and girls 

 4-H club team in judging dairy cattle, 

 three Nebraska boys, will sail for Eng- 

 land .June 16, to compete for further 

 honors at the International Dairy Judg- 

 ing Contest at Wye, Kent, England, July 

 ■5. America has won five of the seven 

 contests there, but for the last two years 

 the English team has managed to keep 

 the gold cup at home. 



The boys on the team all live in Boone 

 County, Nebraska, and won their 

 championship at the National Dairy 

 Show, Memphis, Tenn., where the State 

 champion judging teams competed for 

 National honors. Highest individual 

 honors in that contest went to Jesse Bil- 

 yeu 18, who brought home most of the 

 ribbons and medals awarded for individu- 

 al excellence. The second member of the 

 team is Joe King, 17, an old timer in Boys 

 and Girls 4-H Club Work in Boone Coun- 

 ty, who started at the age of seven and 

 has completed 18 diflFerent club projects. 

 Russell Hughes, 18, the third member, 

 has been in dairy and pig clubs for the 

 past three years. The team will be ac- 

 companied by M. L. Flack, State exten- 

 sion agent in dairy husbandry, and C. C. 

 Girardot, their local club leader. 



The boys will be speeded on their way by 

 President Coolidge, who will greet them 

 on their visit to Washington, June 12-1.3, 

 just before they sail. They will also be 

 received by Secretary Jardine and other 

 officials of the Department of Agriculture. 

 After leaving Washington, they will sail 

 from Montreal, arriving in Belfast, Ire- 

 land, June 22. The next week will be 

 spent in touring Scotland and northern 

 England. They plan to include a little 

 practice woi-k on British cattle before the 

 contest. 



The expense of sending the team to 

 England is being borne by Boone County, 

 Nebra.ska, the State dairy interests, 4-H 

 boys and girls, and business and agricul- 

 tural interests.
