Future Farmers Compete in Contests Providing a time and a place for boys to learn how to be leaders was the purpose of Future Farmers of America. Members of FFA had a chance to gain leadership abilities by putting their agricultural know how to practical use. Boys competed in contests to give them experience in farming. They competed in such contests as live- stock judging, logrolling, and select- ing meats. They entered contests and events all year long. Two members of FFA were select- ed to attend a Forestry Camp in June. They will spend a week learn- ing about Forestry and all its facets. April brought on two different types of contest. These were in Public Speaking and Parliamentary Procedure. As an annual event FFA members had a Parent-Son Banquet. This year it was combined with the Future Homemakers of America banquet. The menu featured vegeta- bles grown in the FFA garden.
