4-H Club boys participating in dairy demonstration

4-H club boys are seen participating in a dairy demonstration in this black and white photograph. The demonstration was held in a tiled building at North Carolina State University around 1940. Two boys in white shirts and pants with black ties stand on either side of an easel. A poster on the easel reads:

Starting a Healthy Calf

  1. Clean Pen
  2. Ample sunlight
  3. Plenty of exercise
  4. Sufficient water, minerals, and salt
  5. Good Roughage

On the right side of the picture is a cow standing on straw and facing a wall. A boy with his back to the camera holds her by a halter. Several other boys sit or stand next to her. The boys and men in the audience, with their backs to the camera, are sitting on bleachers.
