Look What 4-H Has New Offer You!!!
How do you stal a white­
tail deer, take a scenic hike
through the woods, or deter­
mine the lines of clothing that
look best on you? With a com­
puter, of course.
Over a dozen microcomputer
software programs are available
through the ichigan 4-H Youth
Program, and more are being
planned.
Computer projects help 4-H
members and leaders develop
skills in computer application
and computer programming, and
they help add a new dimen­
sion to your 4-H project club.
Software programs are avail­
able in the areas of wildlife
and land management, analyz­
ing environmental influences,
forestry, landscaping, conserva­
tion, collecting folklore in for-
mation, clothing, Coturnix, c
crop production, and careers.
There's even a program to
help you plant that vegetable
garden you 're tarting to think
about. The gardening program
help you calculate how much
to plant, pacing between plants
and rows, planting date : days
to maturity, and amount of
square feet required in your
garden. The program help
you determine when to plant,
instead of planting everything
on Memorial Day weekend!
Computers are here to stay
in out culture. The time is not
far off when the majority of
American famille will use com­
puters routinely. Business and
industry already do.
