Many of the reports also contain an index, county map, detailed accounts of 4-H club projects, and reports on livestock, poultry, fruits and vegetables, and forage growing programs. Programs on home beautification, home gardens, army worm control, disease control, fertilizer trials, and clothes and bread making also are documented. Most reports conclude with an outlook and recommendations for the next year's programs. Black and white snapshots (adhered to the pages) also document programs and events, including ribbons winners at the county fair.
