Ag Club This year the agriculture students affiliated with the Future Farmers of Amer- ica, a national organization of farm boys taking vocational agriculture. There are 4.000 F. F. A. members in Iowa alone. The Cresco chapter took the name Robbins, since Superintendent Robbins was the organizer of the part-time school, and has always been a booster of ag work. The chapter, with twenty members, was installed by the Hall chapter of Charles City. A dairy cattle-judging team, Edward Lybbert, William Burns, and Gareth Vagts, placed second in the state contest at Waterloo. At the state contest at Ames, the farm management team placed in the first group, the livestock-judging team, in the fourth. Among their most important projects, the Future Farmers are sponsoring corn and soy bean test plots, a corn and grain show at the Howard County fair, and cow- testing association work. Twenty-two

Following the example set by last year's club, the meetings were not so frequent as in former years. A fall meeting with Coach Peterson of Luther College as principal speaker was the high spot of the year. Another meeting of great interest to the honorary mem- bers was the one at which they challenged the high school club members in a volley ball tournament. Twenty-one
