The Future Farmers of America, of FFA as it is commonly known, is a national organization of high school boys, studying vocational agriculture in our public schools. It is an educational, non-profit, non- political organization of nearly 400,000 volunteer members. The foundation upon which it is built includes leadership and character development, sportsmanship, cooperation, community service, thrift, scholarship, improved agriculture, organized recreation, citizenship, and patriotism. Each student of vocational agriculture who wishes to join the local FFA chapter maydo so by meeting the qualifications of the Green Hand Degree. Later he may become a chapter, State, or American Farmer Degree holder, in that order. Every degree he attains signifies greater personal achievements in leadership, scholarship, and establishment in farming. The student officers and members are developing into farm leaders of tomorrow und er the guidance of their chapter advisor, the teacher of vocational agriculture. Keeping records is an important part of learning good farm - ing methods. These beginners are working hard to get a good start in farm work.
