Catherine Johnson Tells Experiences Attending 4-H Conservation Camp By Catherine Johnson The 13th annual Montana 4-H Conservation camp was held at the Pines Youth camp from July 13-17 on Fort Peck lake, 26 miles south of Glasgow. The purpose of this camp was to train young people in the various aspects of conservation, to provide for leadership and fellowship development of camp- ers, to have 4 -Hers enjoy a camping experience together, and to have the campers share what they learn with other groups and individuals when they return home. The camp program was built around the general theme, \Soil Is Life.\ There were four workshops, in which we were able to participate. They were wildlife conservation, forestry management, range manage- ment and soil management. I chose the wildlife conserva- tion workshop, lead by Eldon Smith and Frank Dunkle, fish and wildlife specialists. The pur- pose of this workshop was to show us the importance of our national wildlife and what we should to do preserve it in our state. The program was divided into two main categories: Identi- fying different wildlife and their natural habitats and the impor- tance of predators and their con- trol. Mr. Dunkle explained the dif- ferent types of wildlife, by show- ing slides and pointing out their differences. He also talked about their natural habitats, their home grounds and feeding habits. For example: Whitetail deer live in the low, brushy bot- toms and the muledeer live in the higher, rougher areas. The muledeer are often mistakenly called blacktail deer, but there are no true blacktail deer in Montana. The brown, black and cinnamon bear are really black bear, but have different color- ings of the fur. The brown bear are native to Alaska. When mountain sheep are planted, there should be from 15 to 20 in a colony in order for them to do well. Some people believe a pre- dator is any creature that has beaten you to another creature you wanted for yourself; but, from a broader view \predator\ is a certain way of getting food— that is, by killing other animals to eat. Predation is a universal law of life. Predation is import- ant to us because it is a natural counterbalance to the great re- • ' ' add value to your home and extra enjoyment by production power of most wild things. It is also important be- cause it is nature's way of get- ting rid of the weak, the stupid, the stunted and the diseased creatures in all species. Avoid- ing predator damage can be done through good land use, pro- tection of livestock, regulated wildlife harvests and control of our own tame predators. Good predator management is wise land use. This has been a wonderful ex- perience for me, learning about conservation and meeting fellow 4 -Hers from other counties. I enjoyed meeting Martha Arthans from Switzerland and also the delegates from Saskatchewan. I would like to thank everyone who made this trip possible, and I hope many other 4 -Hers will be able to share the same ex- perience next year. (Ed. note: Miss Johnson, daug- hter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter E. Johnson of Trout Creek, was selected by the Sanders county 4-H awards committee for the honor of representing this county at 4-H conservation camp.)

Selection of the individual ani- mal is the first point to consider. The Modern beef animal should have a wide, short head, with an alert eye and wide muzzle. The neck should be short and thick and blended in smoothly with the shoulders. The shoulders should be smooth with ample room between the front legs for a deep, wide chest. The heart girth should be full and deep. The back should be straight and wide, with ribs well sprung and deep. The hip should be laid in smoothly and the coupling be- tween the hip and last rib should be short. The flank should be deep and make a straight underline. The loin should be wide and flat. The tail head should be level with the back bone. The round should be wide and bulging, coming down deep in the twist. Fitting an animal for show includes grooming the hair, trimming the feet, training and polishing the horns on horned cattle, and slipping the head on polled cattle. Tails are clipped on all cattle, if it will add to their appearance. Washing and curling the hair completes the preparation. The purpose of fit- ting is to enable one to present his animal to its best advantage. Here in Sanders county, the Angus and Hereford breeds pre- dominate. At the fair, there will be classes for the different sex and age groups. One of the popular classes the past two years has been the commercial class. These cattle are unfitted and do not com- pete with the show barn cattle. These animals do not have to be halter broke and will be shown in the fenced arena. These ani- mals must be true to breed and may be registered or grade cat- tle. Twilight League D & H 2—Dodson 341, H. Dod- son 459; Double Rs 1—Reed 366, Asness 330.
