The F. F. A. was first established in the United States in 1917. Within a few years the organisation had spread over several states and today every state in the United States has an F. F. A. organization. Members of the F. F. A. learn through active participation how to conduct and take part in a public meeting, to speak in public, to buy and sell cooperatively, to solve their own problems, to finance themsel¬ ves, and to assume civic responsibility. The foundation upon which the F. F. A. organization is built includes leadership and character devel¬ opment , sportsmanship , co-operative service, thrift, scholarship,improved agriculture, organized recreation, and citizenship and patriotism. The Summerfield boys under the able guidance of Mr. Bowden have competed in several contests, such as livestock judging, seed judging, and public speaking. They have won first place honors in livestock and in public speaking. Their hope is that farm homes may become more attractive places in which to live by living up to the F. F. A. roottot Learning to do. Doing to learn. Earning to live, Living to serve. m m i -j nM ' J.-t VX rMJM.rn.fKwm i
