B. Wood. Vocational Agriculture in the United States was made possible by the passage of the Smith-Hughes Act by Congress in 1917 pro- viding a sum of 53,100,000 to be spent annually in agricultural education work.

The Future Farmers of America is the national organization of students enrolled in vocational agriculture. Our local charter was granted by the Ohio Association of Future Farmers on November 12, 1929. This is a young but growing organization whose purpose is to pro- mote vocational agriculture, to create and nurture a love for country life, to encourage recreational and educational activities for vocational students, to strengthen 'the farm boy in himself and his Work and to promote scholarship. .A boy has the opportunity to pass four distinct degrees if he meets the requirements. These degrees are 111 Green Handg 125 Future Farmer, 135 State Farmer, and Q43 American Farm- er. This year we are nominating four boys for the State Farmer De- gree. One of the requirements of being a Future Farmer is to have a satisfactory home project. This has tended to raise the standard of projects already in that more certified seed and registered livestock are being secured each year for the project work to say nothing about the farm accounts that are being carried extra. - -1- -- ---- H ----- -0- 1930 -3--1---x-W - --------M --1--W P11020 1101011 10:4 x1cx11n:ojo14xjoj1n14ri4v1o11x1o14x1cni1ni1r:4x1amzarj1xioioioioioin w1o:o1o14x14n1o1o11njo1o:o:4r14v11r:4x:4r1o14x1e114 0 0.0 D1
