T NATIONAL HONORS LODI Future Farmers of America received national recog- nition last fall when they won the National Vocational Students’ Livestock Judging Contest at the American Royal Livestock Show in Kansas City. The livestock team was composed of Verne Hoffman, Jr.; Angelo Fanos; Carroll Dow; and Marlow Stark, alternate. Lodi won the State Championship at San Luis Obispo in May and represented California in the National Contest. Lodi won its honors competing with thirty-four other state champions, placing first as a team judging draft horses and sheep, and third in beef cattle. As individuals, Verne Hoffman. Jr., was second high man of the contest, high individual in sheep and third high in beef. Angelo Fanos was twelfth high man in the contest and sixth in draft horses. Verne Hoffman. Jr., also was signally honored by being the second Lodi Future Farmer to receive an American Future Farmer Degree. The team, accompanied by Verne Hoffman. Sr., went East as guests of the Santa Fe Railroad. This was the first trip East for most of the boys and was truly educational, for they obtained a fair cross-section impression of the Great Mid- west. The boys made stops at Manhattan, Kansas, visiting the great State University there and judging several rings of livestock. They stayed ten days at Kansas City, Missouri, competing in the contest, visiting the American Royal Livestock Show and attending the tenth annual National Convention of the Future Farmers of America. The Lodi Chamber of Com- merce and the Lodi Chapter F. F. A. furnished a bunch of Flame Tokays, labeled with a small tag telling about the Lodi District and Lodi crops, to every one of the twelve hundred guests at the annual Future Farmer Banquet held in the main hall of the Kansas City Municipal Auditorium. They visited Chicago. Terre Haute, New Orleans, and the Grand Canyon with overnight stops. At the last stop, the boys took a muleback ride to the bottom of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River. This, truly, was an experience never to be forgotten by these Lodi Future Farmers. Ole Mettler won this national honor in 1935.
