Training includes field trips to
successful farms, talks by special
ists in various phases of farming,
and investigation of any good ex
ample of successful farming prac
tices. The four vet teachers are all
graduates of Oregon State college
in agriculture except Franklin P.
Hopkins, a 1948 graduate of the
University of Wisconsin in agri
cultural engineering. Hopkins, in
the army during the war, married
an Australian girl, and came on
a vacation trip to the west coast
in February. They picked Salem
as a place they would like to live,
and have a home there now. Hop
kins supervises veterans in the
Lake Labish, Mission Bottom, and
Brooks area.
District Divided
William H. Coffield lives west
of Silverton and supervises the
veterans in the Mt. Angel district
and those east of Gervais. Cof
field majored in farm manage
ment at OSC and taught on the
veteran program at Silverton last
year.
A navy veteran, Paul H. George
has charge of the men in and
around Gervais and St. Paul
George is also a farm management
major, graduating in 1943, and
lives at Gervais. These three men
were employed July 1, 1948.
Carl A. Magnuson, one of the
three original veteran instructors
in the state, is in charge of the
vet program at Gervais. He was
graduated from OSC in 1940 in
animal husbandry and farm man
agement and spent two years in
graduate study at Oregon State
and Texas A&M. He previously
taught vocational agriculture at
Molalla and Woodburn. Magnuson
lives at Woodburn and supervises
the veterans in the northern part
of the county.
Outstanding m the program at
Gervais is the Veterans' Cooper
ative association, an organization
separate from the school and with
no connection with the on-farm
training classes. Several pieces of
heavy equipment have been ac
quired by the association, includ
ing a bulldozer, tractor, truck and
dragline. The association rents a
garage on highway 99E two miles
south of Gervais and employs a
full-time mechanic. Farm ma
chines are used .by the veterans
cooperatively.
Has Purchasing- Afent
The association is also a purch
asing agent, being incorporated
under state laws for such busin
ess and enables the farmer-veteran
to buy machinery, appliances,
fertilizers, dusts, sprays and oth-
e r materials at a considerable
saving. Max Bibby, Brooks, is
president; Joe Kirsch, Woodburn,

Much cf the credit for the suc
cess of the agricultural program
at this small high school is given
local school board members and
the high school principal, Paul L.
Reiling. The agricultural program
was started at Gervais on July 1,
1947 when Leonard Burns, now
with the Soil Conservation service
at Stayton, was hired to teach both
high school ag students and vet
erans. The school now has a large,
modern, well-equipped shop and
ag classroom, built in the summer
of 1947, which is in charge of Al
Ringo, high school ag instructor.
Some veterans thought they
could not afford the time to study
how successful farming Js accom
plished, but after taking a field
trip remarked "Well, we really
could not afford to miss learning
the tricks of the trade."
