While
the concepts that led to the organization of
4-H began in many places across the country
in the same time frame, Iowa is credited with
first using a three-leaf clover emblem with
an imprinted H on each leaf that represented
"head, heart and hands" around 1903.
The fourth H - health was added in 1911.
