Adult farming education seems
to be the answer to the changing
farming situation. Every farmer
should be a member Of the young
farmer oganization nearest him.
Education and cooperation can
be the two most powerful forces
that a farmer can have to help
him. See your vocational agri-
culture departments for details
about joining the young farmers
organization.
Speaking of farming and edu-
cation, the vocational agriculture
boys have come in contact with
a real problem this week. That
problem is hog cholera, which
is spreading rapidly throughout
the Green Sea community. Not
only are the boys being taught
about cholera from a theoretical
standpoint in the classroom, bu.
also they are going on field trips
so they can observe sick hogs and
learn how to vaccinate them.
They are actually putting in
practice what they have learned
mentally.

vocational agriculture boys as
the FLA, elected the Sweet

Ila June Powell has the honor

sent Green Sea in the Federation
