 * NATIONAL 4-H WEEK 2024
   
   October 07, 2024 | Written by Ernie Lopez, 4-H Youth Development Specialist
   Each year, Delaware 4-H celebrates the mission and work of our youth and
   volunteers during National 4-H Week, which began on October 6th this year. Be
   it through the annual donations of produce and vegetables 4-H members give to
   the Food Bank of Delaware during the Delaware State Fair, to the holiday
   tradition so many 4-H clubs share of baking cookies and gathering supplies
   for our beloved soldiers, Delaware 4-H lifts others and stands tall during
   this week of celebration.


 * WINTERIZING YOUR GARDEN
   
   October 01, 2024 | Written by: Susan Graves, Delaware Master Gardener, New
   Castle County
   Winter is a time of rest. When we think of hibernation, we tend to think of
   bears snuggling into a cozy cave, their bellies full of food and ready to
   sleep til spring. Look to the skies to see birds flying south for the winter:
   do all birds end up in the Caribbean, sunning themselves to return in spring?

HISTORY OF THE AGRICULTURE RESEARCH CENTER IN GEORGETOWN

A Delaware General Assembly act provided the establishment of an agricultural
substation for southern Delaware. The first structure at the new "Substation"
opened in 1942, which is still in use — now as storage space.

A more thorough, published history written by former Extension specialist and
former Delaware Secretary of Agriculture, Ed Kee, is now available in the fall
of 2019.
