You have probably seen them, but are you ac- quainted with just what they stand for and sig- nify? Literally these letters stand for Future Farmers of America. The Paso Robles Chapter is one of the links in the chain of 196 F. F. A. chapters in the State of California. The Future Farmer organization is divided into several regions or groups. The Paso Robles chapter is located in the South Coast Region. The regions are further broken down into sections and Eldon Root, who holds the Future Farmer degree, is vice-president of this section. The main goal of our Future Farmer work is to help get out members established in full time farming programs. This is brought about by the establishing of a supervised farming program by each boy taking agriculture. This work is part of the regular program and is required of each boy enrolled in agriculture. lntertwined with this program are the goals of PAGE THIRTY-FOUR , KO NNo0iN'- fre?

In the last year from our farming activities we realized, a labor income of Sr,2r8.71. This being our iirst year in this type of work, we are all proud of this figure. To attain this goal, our mem- bers carried on 7o productive Cor ownershipD projects. The total value of these programs was 53441-75- In addition we carried on 41 non-productive Cor non-ownershipD projects. Examples are such one as improving the walks around the farm home or planting shrubs and flowers. Testing dad's milk cows for butter fat pro- duction, and other types of construction or im- provement programs come under the heading of non-productive enterprises. This shows that besides carrying on many group activties in our first year, we actually did something C0nStruC- tive in the way of bettering ourselves individ- ually. A typical example of a boy's program that will lead him into actual farming is:
