F IURE FARMERS WI THE GOLD EMBLEM award for the National Better Chapter Contest again was won by the Shawnee- lvlission Chapter of the Future Farmers ot America. The highest award a FFA chapter may receive, this recognition is based on the accomplishments of all active chapter members throughout the entire contest year. The Gold Emblem rating is treasured because it is given to only thirty-eight ol the nearly eight thou- sand local chapters. One step below their national achievement is the chapters state rating the highest in all but three of its twentyfthree years' history. Public-speaking contests, judgingfteam participation, and leadership school management afforded valuable training. Jenning's Feed 6. Seed: Store with the Checkerboard sign, Overland Park IJ
