AGRICULTURE Agriculture I NCE more, for the third time, the Oakiield Future Farmers of America present a resume of the past year. A year ago the chapter was notified that their booth was selected for exhibition at the New York State Fair. After much work, the booth entitled Chapter Activity was built and exhibited at Syracuse. John Reed did the hand painting for the chapter. At the tinal judging, Oakfield received second place and forty-five dollars. During the week Kenneth McEntee and Warren Schaal explained to the public the main features of the booth twice each day. The Future Farmer department of the County Fair was instituted during August. The judging teams, placing second in apples and potatoes, third in horses and iifth in dairy cattle and poultry, brought home a total of twenty-eight dollars. The chapter won first in a county chapter contest by exhibiting its scrapbook. In the dairy herd improvement work, a second place ribbon was received for the records shown. Kenneth McEntee won fifteenth place in judging dairy cattle at Syracuse and a cash award. Rodney Forsyth judged applesg Edward Sharp, horses, Paul Roth, poultryg and Clayton Sharp, potatoes. During January ten boys made the trip to the Rochester horticultural show where Warren Schaal, Rodney Forsyth and Kenneth McEntee placed eighth in plant diseases. L. Reed, D. Cook, R. Forsyth, K. McEntee, E. McClurg and D. Martin made up the apple judging team. The annual two-day trip to Ithaca during Farm and Home week was very successful.
