The committee set the deadline for 

 Softball entries at July 1, 1949 with 

 which must be included a $5 entry fee.

 of entering teams in various softball 

 divisions because early entries will 

 ease the handling of the district play- 

 offs and the making of arrangements 

 for the finals. 



District softball chairmen will be 

 named not later than June 1, 1949- 

 Chairmen will make arrangements 

 with other counties for play-oflFs. 

 Schedules for the final play-offs will

TRAPSHOOT . . . 



(Continued from page 15) 

 airport on route 4. The Farm Bureau 

 Trap and Skeet Shoot is part of the 

 Illinois Farm Sports Festival and is 

 being held in advance of the Sports Festi- 

 val as it was last year because the dates 

 of the Sports Festival conflict with the 

 All American Trap Shoot. 



Jim Holderman of Grundy county, a 

 Farm Bureau singles champion and 

 former winner of the Ail-American, will 

 ser\'e as chairman of the state trap shoot. 

 Glen Chenoweth of Livingston county 

 will be in charge of the skeet shoot. 

 Farm people planning to enter the shoot 

 should register with their county Farm 

 Bureaus. 



FOLK FESTIVAL . . . 



* 



CHANGES have been made in the 

 folk festival plans for the Illinois 

 Farm Sports Festival Aug. 25-26 

 according to announcement by Roy P. 

 Johnson, lAA secretary of special serv- 

 ices and festival secretary. 



A few months ago it was announced 

 that the folk and dance festival fea- 

 tures would be postponed until Farm 

 and Home Week in 1950. This was 

 the recommendation of the Sports Fes- 

 tivl Executive Committee. 



Some counties already had made plans 

 for August, 1949 so the following 

 modifications have been provided for 

 this year: (1) 4-H folk or square 

 dance team — one entry per county; 

 (2) Rural Youth square or folk dance 

 team — one entry per county; (3) 

 Open class folk or square dance team 

 — one entry per county; (4) Time 

 limit on dance features — five minutes; 

 (5) Square dance bands will be judged 



as they accompany dance groups; (6) 

 Folk dance and square dance teams 

 will be judged separately; (7) Folk 

 song and ballad singers and county 

 bands — dropped this year; (8) No 

 change from 1948 for other music, 

 dance, and drama features; and (9) 

 district competition will not be re- 

 quired. 



SOFTBALL ... 



To promote greater participation in 

 the softball divisions of the Illinois 

 Farm Sports Festival, the executive 

 softball committee has set the follow- 

 ing goals for 1949: (1) A boys' 4-H 

 team from every county in district com- 

 petition; (2) At least two Rural Youth 

 teams in every district; (3) A girls' 

 4-H team from every district; and (4) 

 encouragement of as many entries as 

 possible in the other divisions: county 

 league, all county, 35'ers, and girls' 

 open class. 



The softball committee meeting in 

 Chicago April 14 set the rule that a 

 player may participate in only one divi- 

 sion of the final softball tournaments
