The latter part of July and early August of 1951 saw some of the members at the project show at the Lewiston Fair Grounds. Our F.F.A. boys did well by bringing home a large number of ribbons. Some of the F.F.A. boys attended the Leadership Camp at Epworth Camp grounds at Lewiston in August 1951. This is a camp composed mainly of officers and advisors. On December 8, 1951, two car loads of boys traveled to Delavan to participate in the judging and grain show held there annually. The Forman F.F.A. took first place in the judging contest. Many ribbons were awarded our boys on the corn they displayed. This corn was raised by the boys as a summer project. The boys sold stationary, wrapping paper, and ribbons for the Christmas season. Later on in February, they sold garden seeds, working in cooperation with the Vitality Seed Company. The F.F.A. had printed a calendar with a picture of all the members on it. Money for publishing this calendar was obtained by selling ads, which appeared on the calendar, to the local merchants. In the spring, the boys planted pine trees for Lewis Warner. For the past three years the F.F.A. has had a chain gilt program. Each boy who receives a gilt is to return two bred zilts to the chapter for distribution the next year. This year four gilts were distributed to members of the chapter. As a final climax to a very successful year for the Agriculture Department a parent and son banquet was held in the Forman Gym on the evening of March 27. VOGhL'S INC.
