Al though usually recognized as a Revolutionary war general and our first president, Washington had laim ing for ids first love He w as one of the first in the nation to practice contour farm ing, crop rotations, fertilization and other soil conservation and improvement methods. Judge Vernon Miller Proclaims FFA Week because a prosperous and pro ductive agriculture is the very foundation of our American stan dard of living. We will need good farmers xn our future. As students of vocational agri culture in public schools, they study the scientific, economic and mechanical aspects of modern farming. Aa members of the F ut ure Farmers of America, they learn tlxruugh active participation how io conduct and take part xn public meetings; to speak in pub lic, to market farm goods, to solve their own problems; to fin ance themselves; and to assume civic responsibility The F u tu re F arm er of America is a national organization of, by, and for boys who are studying vocational agriculture in the pub lic high schools of the nation. A local chapter of this fine organi zation is active in Sherm an High school. As America’s future farm ers, these young men hold in th eir minds and hands the progress that this county and this nation may make in the years to come. The population of America and of the world is undergoing trem endous growth. Despite the great abundance of agricultural pro ducts today, it is vital to our fut ure happiness and security that we m aintain a supply of skilled farm ers and other agricultural w orkers to assure that there al ways will l>e plenty of farm pro ducts to supply our needs. F u t ure Farm ers of America are training for this im portant work cojning increasingly im portant Future with our expanding population.” week of Locally, members of the Sher man FFA chapter plan to have several window displays, our parent and son banquet, and a tadio program. Membership in the FFA Is made up of boys Interested In agriculture who are students of agriculture in high school. The organization's activities are de igned to help develop rural leadership and good citizenship, and to stim ulate boys to better achievem ent in their study and work toward successful etablish- ment in farm ing and other agri cultural occupations. The Sherm an FFA chapter has JO members. Officers are: Doug Medler, preseident; Mike Lane, vice president; Doug Reid, secre tary; J. P. Reckinann, treasurer; Dick G rabenhorst. rejxirter; Don Mobley, sentinel. The national F uture Farm er organization has 383,000 mem bers, with 9,(XX) local chapters in 50 states and Puerto Rico. In It is fitting that we honor them. I, therefore, join with others throughout the nation In pro claiming February 16-23, 1963, to be Future Farmers of America Week. I urge all jx?ople of this eoun y to become acquainted with and give full support to the I r< gram of vocational education in agriculture and to Ito students, the Future Farmers of America. They are the successful leaders and farmers of tomorrow. Vernon I. 'Tiller, County Judge endblos the family fo lim it ♦he cost ♦o its needs or wishes. ‘ i Sherman Theater FRI. SAT SUN.
