Students awarded for their efforts in the production and judging of poultry Fruit sales, machinery construc- tion, and exhibits were part of the FFA's program for its members. Sixteen students with forty entries showed crops they raised at the Sun- flower State Expo. The chapter as a whole was awarded S100 for a public- ity booth for the Expo. DARRIN WELCH freshman was the top seller in the annual fruit sales campaign. WELCH placed first by raising S800 for selling fruit. Money won or raised through dues went toward District dues, contest fees, and sponsorship of chapter activities unless the awarded money belonged to an indi- vidual through his efforts. Besides money-making projects and events, FFA was involved in the construc- tion of agricultural machinery. The project was limited to the Agriculture lll and lV classes and was only done if there was time for such a project. Members also planted trees in the park through co-operation with the local Lion's Club. The chapter also helped the Kansas Farm Bureau As- sociation run a farm safety meeting. Sixteen events were attended which gave THOMAS WOLFLEY junior a first in a poultry judging contest and CLINT WICHMAN senior the District Proficiency Award in poultry produc- tion. Chapter meetings every month rounded the FFA's activities.
