This year the chapter had a very successful walnut crop from the school orchard which the boys harvested, packaged and marketed. They also fertilized the trees and replaced some of those missing. The first major activity of the year was a Parent and Son Banquet, held at the high school on December 5, 1953. On January 25th the club bought and donated two pigs which were sold on the KHSL TV auc- tion for S40.00, which went to the March of Dimes fund. On March 16th, the Durham chapter participated in the Parliamentary Procedure and Public Speaking contests, which were held in Oroville. During the year the chapter traded for two purebred Duroc Jersey gilts and put them out for projects. Also the group added some wool shears and electric dehorners to the chapter's supply of veterinarian equipment. In April the club sponsored the annual F, F. A. Spring Dance for the student body. The dance was a great success. In May many F. F. A. mem bers showed at the Third District Fair in Chico. The chapter also entered a booth in the fair. 29
