H. Benson, superintendent of Wright County (Iowa) schools, as a three-leaf clover with three "H's" signifying head, heart, and hands. A four-leaf clover design with H's appeared informally around 1908. In 1911, Benson suggested four H's -- "Head, Heart, Hands and Hustle... head trained to think, plan and reason; heart trained to be true, kind and sympathetic; hands trained to be useful, helpful and skillful; and the hustle to render ready service, to develop health and vitality..." The present design was approved in 1911, at a Washington D.C. meeting of club leaders. O.B. Martin is credited with H's representing Head, Heart, Hands and Health. The 4-H name and emblem have United States federal protection under federal code 18 U.S.C. 707, passed in 1939. This federal protection carries more protection than a trademark and a copyright. The Secretary of Agriculture is given responsibility for the 4-H name and emblem, at the direct request of the U.S. Congress. The 4-H emblem in a unique category of protected emblems, along with the U.S. Presidential Seal, Red Cross, Smokey Bear and the Olympic rings.
