VOCATION AL AGRICULTURE 6 '2 5 4 K 'Ni S ,IS C5 . N. CLASS STUDYING FARM MACHINERY '48 to '50 Vocational Agriculture is a four-year course for boys. There is an adult class for the older farmers. The ,veterans-on-farm training pro- gram is active in the Hamburg Schools. The Vo-ag program is designed to allow about 315 of the total time for class-room instruction. Approximately 215 of the total time is used for shop work which includes wood and metal Working and arc and acetylene welding. The Ag boys frequently go on field trips: They test soil, check for corn borer, this spring they set 2000 black locust trees, planted a forage test plot, and the seniors will take a trip to Iowa State College. For School and Community improvement the ag classes with the assistance of Mr. Wyatt, their instructor, and Ham, the custodian, constructed the athletic field bleachers, put the cables around the field, and dug the trench across the field for the P. A. system. They assembled the girls new athletic lockers, set two bicycle racks, constructed the platform in the auditorium for the new piano, constructed a backstop for the baseball feild, and did other jobs too numerous to mention. Adult farmers also go to school during special sessions for them. They had 10 meetings during each school year. Discussion this year covered many current topics such as: Borer and weed control, marketing, tractor maintenance, legunie growing and swine production. More than 15 movie films were shown. At the end of the meetings a banquet was held in the Baptist church, Each farmer invited a business man and about 120 persons attended. The veterans-on-farm training program has been active in the Hamburg schools for nearly 3 years. Norman Wyatt is the supervisor, and Byron Grebe and Harry Lauman are the instructors. Forty veterans are attending this vocational training for 12 months of the year. md? Mr. Wyatt, the Ag.
