FARM TRAINING PROGRAM IN HUBBARD COUNTY By A. C. O'Banion Veterans farm training received its impetus in March, 1943, when congress passed public law 16 to provide for the vocational rehabilitation of disabled veterans, and june, 1944, when congress enacted public law 346-better known as the G. I. Bill-to provide aid in the readjustment of veterans to civilian life. It was in December of 1946, however, that congress first used the name institutional on farm training to identify the currently used combination type course, which links organized group class room instruction in agriculture and related subjects with practical supervised work experience on the farm. In Park Rapids, the program began in October of 1946 when Mr. Alvin Stinson was hired to organize the first class. In September 1947, A. M. Booren was hired to organize a second group at Nary. Later on G. G. Geddes and Gordon Keeton were added. Mr. Booren resigned to become county agent in Ottertail County, in August of 1948. Mr. Geddes passed away on january 30, 1950 while visiting the farm of one of his trainees. At present we are seeking the services of a qualified instructor to take his place. There are 69 now enrolled in the three classes with about 50 veterans waiting their turn to get in a class. As vacancies occur new trainees are added to keep the number in each class up to 23. On-farm training is a full-time activity. It consists of a minimum each month of eight hours, in organized group fclass roomj instruction at the school, two visits for supervising work experiences on the farms, and other individual instruction outside of the class room. The yearly requirements are 200 hours of group and 100 hours of individual instruction, with the same teachers in charge of both types of instruction to insure co-ordinated activity. Each teacher is assigned to 23 veterans, which means 23 different types and kinds of problems. Since the program has been in operation, about 3V2 years, we already have some men who have completed their allotted training period. Reports from many sources-established neighboring farmers, community leaders, feed and fertilizer retailers, banks and loaning agencies and businessmen in general testify to the gains in scientific and business-like farming which are resulting from the program. Homes and farms alike are showing the improvements within a brief period which might otherwise have taken two or three times longer to accomplish and then perhaps not as well.

Coach McDowell's boys flashed through a successful ason regardless of a lack in height and experience. A keen -nse of sportsmanship and fair play kept the Park apids Five from being overwhelmed by greater odds. Captain Rex did his part in making the '49-'50 season successful one as did fast breaking boys Gordon Henry d Don Schmider and bucket getters Carl Maas, jerry psal and Delmar Zellar. One thing could be said about the Panthers Five, it d the will to win. They never gave up fighting, al- ough being the underdog in almost every game. Due to e fact that the Panthers were short of height, this d to be made up by scrappy ball-players, with loads of termination. The Panthers rose to the occasion more than once this 'ar, in displaying good basketball. Probably the two best games the Panthers played this ar were against Bagley at Bagley, and against Blackduck re at Park Rapids, when smaller by about Eve inches r man, the Panthers defeated Blackduck, 44-40.
