' preparation for the horse show section Supervised FarmEng Kesullts Will Be Seen at County (Fair Among the exhibits at the Jackson County 4-H and Fu ture Farmers of -America fair will be results of the super vised farming programs con ducted by the various FFA chapters. Supervised farming is an important activity of the FFA, chapter advisors stated. "Future Farmers believe learning by doing is the best way to achieve success," ac cording to Ed Griggs, voca tional agriculture instructor and FFA chapter advisor at Crater High school, Central Point. ' Each FFA member ' has some home project to give his agricultural education practical application in the home and farm situation, Griggs explained. Farm proj ects vary from an investment of a few" dollars to several thousand dollars, he said Each student is guided by the vocational agriculture instruc tor during 12 months of the year. Class Instruction "The FFA member receives class instruction in approved practices for agriculture en terprises in his community," Nat Etzel, Eagle Point voca tional agriculture instructor and chapter advisor said. "This enables him to choose proper crop varieties, fertiliz ers and soil types plus proper breeds of animals, feeds and management practices for his livestock projects." , " One of the various incen tives used to stimulate inter est in supervised farming is a promotional degree pro gram for achievements in ag riculture, Etzel explained. A beginning student in vo cational agriculture is requir ed to own some form of farm enterprise to receive the "Green Hand" degree. The second year student must further demonstrate his proficiency insupervised farming and leadership before he is given the "Chapter Farmer" degree. Accurate Degree Boys holding either of these two degrees must keep ac curate records on supervised farming projects. Record books include pages for busi ness agreements with parents, budgets, inventories, dairy and labor records and daily expenses and receipts. Students who demonstrate outstanding achievements in supervised farming and ag ricultural knowledge are awarded the "State Farmer" degree. This degree is limited One-Room Schoofio use Gives Way to Progress Montpelier, Vt. (DPD One of the last remaining land marks of 19th century Ver mont is fast giving way to progress the one-room schoolhouse. Rupert Spencer, administra tive director in the Vermont Education Department, said there are only 140 one-room schoolhouses left in the. state compared with 581 a decade ago. ; "We still have a long way to go," Spencer said, "but I doubt if the one-room school house will ever disappear en tirely from the Vermont scene. In some places they are almost an economic neces ENDLESS CYCLE Milford, Conn. - (DPD Walter Case, 18, was accused of wrecking a stolen motor cycle, then stealing it again after it was repaired. to 2 per cent of the FFA mem bers in the state. A boy must complete two years of voca tional agriculture before he is eligible for the state farm er degree. . Youths in Jackson county holding the degree are Allen Barnes, David Mack and George Gillman of the Crater FFA chapter and Art Garden er of Eagle Point FFA chap ter. Completes Second Year The Phoenix FFA chapter has completed its second year as an organized chapter and some of the Eagle Point mem bers plan to apply for the state farmer degree this year The highest degree is the "American Farmer" degree Only two boys in Oregon may be awarded this degree in any one year. As part -of the continuing activities of the local FFA chapters, various livestock judging contests are held throughout the state each year. Crater, Eagle Point and Phoenix FFA chapter mem bers attended the livestock judging contest in Josephine county Aug. 13 in prepara- tion for the Jackson county contest this week. All three chapters plan to send teams to the, Oregon State fair con test Aug. 31 in Salem. Awards Presented Awards are presented each year on the chapter, state and national level, to individual members for achievements in. such supervised farming acti vities as dairy farming, farm mechanics, farm safety, and soil and water management. Each year chapters enter contestants in the district bet ter farming contest. "The boys feel that an ac tive supervised farming pro gram will help them to reach their goal which is the suc cessful farmer of tomorrow is the Future Farmer of today," Etzel concluded.
