From all parts of the nation they had come, the cream of a 4-H Club membership of over two million, bringing their ani- mals, their crops and -the prod- ucts of their skill and work to be judged at the National Congress, the greatest event of the year for iurm youth. And they did not return home empty-handed. They carried back to the farm {100,000 in prizes for champion livestock, not only N In theii own divisions but in adult classes, awards for prize grains, canned goods, sewing and all the myriad divisions that come under the 4-H classification of \proj- ects.\ Those who. failed to win first honors went home, not dis- heartened, but determine*! to re- turn next year with a winner. federal and PAR more important to the fii- agents.

Rural sociologists credit projects is this bulwark of youth, future farmers and farm wives who are learning how to farm ac- cording to sound agricultural methods and learning how to make farming pay. Strengthened rather than im- peded by the depression, -which plunged agriculture to its low- est ebb, the 4-H Club movement today Is one of the most potent forces In rural life. About the thousands of individual units scattered over every state center the social and educational activi- ties of the younger members of each community. higher Ideals and standards of the farm home and farm com- munity to club activities. Im- portant, too, are the thousands of ambitious boys and girl* wno havo carried their training through college, to return to their communities as leaders In mod- ern farming. And. are these youngsters will- ing to stay on the farm? A poll of membership indicates 80 p«r cent prefer it to any other life. With agriculture in the hands of these trained young people, whose bank accounts prove their work is more than school-time fun, there Is little worry about the future of America's farms.

They are different in ap- pearance — but built to the same high standard of mechanical excellence — on the same chassis. Because people liked our 1937 car so •well, they bought more than of any other make. They liked its looks, its smooth performance, and the way rt handled. We have improved on that car in the newly styled Standard Ford V-8. But some folks wanted still more size and style, with the same Ford advantages. For them, v»e designed a new De Luxe lino. The He Lu xo Ford V- 8 Sedans arc longer with more room, larger luggage sfince, an.! finer appointments all around. De Luxe cars are equipped with the 85- horsepower engine only. • The Standard is even lower priced than the De Luxe. It has graceful new lines and well-tailored interiors—with a choice of engine sizes—85 or 60 horsepower. Before Ford made V-type 8-cylinder en- gines available to every one, they were used only in expensive cars. Since then, four million Ford owners have Earned the genuine enjoyment of driving an eight- cylinder car with all-aroWnd economy. The thrifty \GO\ engine, especially, makes possible in Standard models a very low first cost and equally low operating cost. With two distinct -\designs two engine sizes and two price ranges, you'll find a 1038 Ford car to fit your'tieeds exactly.
