THE F. F. A. The Morrice F. F. A. Chapter 127 has twenty-one members, eight of whom are Chapter Farmers. During the year we have purchased new equipment for our degree work and plan to sell seeds this spring to enlarge our treasury. In order to keep abreast of new labor saving devices and approved farming prac- tices we have taken eight field trips as follows: 1. Robert Booth's farm to study the construction of a buck rake and grain elevator. Z. La Matt Myers farm to see a gutter cleaner in action. 3. Charles Sayles farm to look over a new shop built by Richard and Henry. 4. St. Johns F. F. A. fat stock show and auction. 5. Laurence Tyrrel1's farm to survey the remodeled dairy barn and new milk house. 6. The Wolverine Seed Corn Factory to inspect the grading, drying, and packaging of hybrid seed corn. 7. The Leslie Cannady farm to see hybrid seed corn growing. 8. Michigan State College for Farmer's Week. Other activities of our Chapter were our own Greenhand Initiation, a fish and game supper, a chapter degree initiation at Durand, and the Leadership Conference at Owosso. Two of our members, Henry Sayles and John Tyrrell went to the National F. F. A. Convention of Kansas City in November and two members to the State F. F. A. Convention at M. S. C. in March. This spring we started a registered swine raising project for the purpose of providing members with better quality hogs on their home farms and to raise money for our Chapter. Marvin Witters had the first sow.
