To determine from available records and documents the types of activities characterizing the farm program in Newton County from 1941 until 1951 and further to relate the status of 4--H club work in the promotion of farming and farm life is the purpose of this study. In this study the writer will seek answers to the following related questions;
1. What is the status of the homeownership among 4-H club farmers in Newton County?
2. To what extent is the major income for 4-H club farmers derived from farming?
3. What is the status of the live at Home Program practiced by the 4-H farmers in Newton County?
4. What general crops are grown and to what extent?
