One of the most ambitious 4-H club 

 projects, which is being watched with 

 considerable interest throughout the 

 state, is the campaign by more than 50 

 4-H clubs in La Salle county to raise 

 funds for the construction of a perma- 

 nent country home and 4-H club center. 



A -tract of land for the home al- 

 ready has been purchased by the La 

 Salle County Farm Bureau and will be 

 leased by a new corporation named 

 The La Salle County 4-H Club 

 Home." 



After two years of study, standing 

 committees of the Farm Bureau recom- 

 mended the acquisition of the 221/^- 

 acre wooded tract a half mile west of 

 Ottawa for the construction of "safe 

 and permanent" buildings. 



Individuals and business firms are 

 being solicited in the county to raise 

 the $150,000 deemed necessary to de- 

 velop the home. 



Tentative plans call for the erection 

 of: 



1. A large livestock show pavilion 

 approximately 80 x 140 feet. 



2. A girls' 4-H exhibit building, fire- 

 proofed and heated, which will serve 

 also as a 4-H camp center and recrea- 

 tion pavilion, approximately 80 x 140 

 feet. 



3. Livestock barns to house show 

 entries: Cattle barn, 52 x 150 feet 

 (closed). Hog and sheep barns (2), 

 40 X 150 feet (open). 



4. Automatic pressure water system 

 with drilled well and pump house, 

 lavatories with running water and ade- 

 quate sewage disf>osal. 



5. Landscaping of grounds and de- 

 velopment of picnic and sports areas. 



The 4-H home will be open to other 

 farm organizations and the general 

 public. Other organizations using the 

 grounds will be charged rentals in 

 order to defray the cost of mainten- 

 ance. 



Some of the uses of the home con- 

 templated are picnics, sports festivals, 

 stock shows, judging contests, summer 

 camps, displays, educatioifal programs, 

 farmers' institutes, and regular organ- 

 ization meetings.
