F. F. A Through the expert guidance and leadership of Norman N. Rowe, the West Salem Future Farmers Chapter again proved to be outstanding in their field of work. Fifteen new members were initiated in September, which gave the club a membership of thirty-seven. Because of an outbreak of Vesicular Extremia in hogs, the state fair showings were limited to dairy cattle. Top honors were taken at the La Crosse Inter-State Fair in the form of all firsts, champions, and grand-championships. Cooperating with the FHA, the FFA sponsored their Fourth Coulee Conference Harvest Dance and the traditional Christmas Mixer. To honor their fathers, the FFA sponsored their second Father-Son Banquet. The annual rural judging contest was directed by the FFA. In order to raise funds for their treasury, the FFA had concessions at the basketball tournament in February of 1953. These funds were used for recreational purposes and a camping trip to Northern Wisconsin for all chapter members. The year's activities are concluded by exhibitions of livestock at the Wisconsin Northwest Livestock Shows. President....................Allen Sprain Vice-president . .
