George Warmington, Regional Star Farmer in McMinnville, Oregon, said that after attending a National Convention "I wasn't satisfied until I had gone as far as I could." (You will read about it in the Spring issue.). 34;I think TheNational FUTURE FARMER is an excellent magazine and I believe there are few, if any, magazines that have had such success with their first issue.

No piece of machinery should be exposed to the weather, Wayne and his wife Kathleen discuss one aspect every good farmer knows.
STAR FARMER I

State governments contribute in a variety of ways, such as through soil conservation districts established under state law and through agricultural experiment stations. The district soil conservation movement was conceived with the idea of making the farmers more interested in the. and by a process of close people's cooperation, which is rapidly emerging in the districts.
IT WASN'T
EASY
For that reason, The National Future Farmer brings you this image review of the recent National Convention. During the 1952 National Convention, more than 7,000 Future Farmers registered at the busy registration desk in the Municipal Auditorium.
CONVENTION STORY
We will remember the achievements of the past with pride, but the silver anniversary theme will be the goal. Most of FFA's accomplishments over the years have been achieved through team and individual efforts at the local chapter level, and this will also be true for the silver anniversary celebration.
Ed owns a small herd of registered Ed who helped build the “farm hand” mounted on an old Shorthorns. George was also a member of the National Honor Society his junior and senior years of high school. The FFA Supply Service is located on the grounds of the National FFA Camp near Alexandria, Virginia.
AT YOUR SERVICE
Behind this procedure lies an organization that has grown from a small beginning in the spring of 1948 into a thriving business. Every year, sales. Keeping pace with the volume of business, the service staff has grown in five years from one manager and secretary to 18 permanent employees. Between meetings of these national bodies, a Supply Service Committee, consisting of three members of the Board of Directors, acts on Service matters.

The guy who knows agriculture and likes to sell, could specialize in advertising, promotion, marketing, circulation. In general, for the student planning only four years of college, we recommend an ag journalism major (our ag journalists get about a quarter of their work in ag courses, either way). For the guy who wants to spend about four and a half years, we often recommend a double major in ag journalism and ag straight.

The cash needed for the show and sales hall was provided by the Caddo County Shorthorn Breeders. Established buyers (those who have bought shares in the past) receive an invitation letter thanking the buyer for past support and giving them dates for upcoming sales.

This chapter is distinctive not only because it is located at the geographic center of this continent, but also because it is located at the center of the bread basket of America. For five years the Rugby Chapter won first place in the State Public Speaking Contest. Farmers, bankers and businessmen around Rugby have more than just a casual interest in the FFA chapter.

This means that approximately 10 million more cattle, 20 million more pigs and 3-3 million more sheep would have to be slaughtered each year. Now to support this slaughter we would need 100 million more cattle, 121 million more pigs and 30 million more sheep. all this increase in livestock would automatically require more feed. We are now producing all agricultural products at record levels. we want to deliver another 38 million. the people and also the clothes are now supplied, production will have to progress.

This would require either 87 million more laying hens—or an increase in the average lay of 43 eggs per hen. As in the case of milk, however, the increase will have to come from both sources – from a larger flock of laying hens and an increase in production per hen. Most of the additional production must and will come from the development of current hectares - through a. of vertical rather than horizontal magnification.

In two hours I counted fifty-five deer coming from all directions, many of them no doubt from a distance, as their tracks later proved.

Still, the deer did not return frightened, even from the vicinity of the shooting, to mine. This strange rite is well known to deer hunters, who are close observers, but no one knows its cause, or has ever seen any unusual action in the animals once they have made their temporary shift to new ground. How could a bundle of life in one of the lower brackets, with a brain as small and primitive as a fish, find its way from a great blue nowhere, after years of oblivion, directly to the place of birth?

Take a look at some measurements taken at the Upper Mississippi Valley Soil Conservation Research Center. All of America is interested in the development of the farmers of the future, because the fate of the soil is in their hands, and the fate of America. Many are familiar with the service from hearing the annual report at the National Convention or seeing advertisements in The National FutureFarmer.

Its sound was deafening in the sulphur, where the forest threw its bellows at you.

He was on all fours, with his head buried in the blackberry bushes. My father must have been very strong when he was at the military academy and he yelled "One, two, three, four, load, aim, fire, attach bayonets, charge," because that gun could kick harder than any horse on our ranch. I wondered if Uncle could do that to a bear charging right at him, snorting lustfully.
THE GEHL MOWER-BAR ATTACHMENT
I ran after him and saw him fall flat on his face halfway up the steep ravine. I could see the yellow at the roots of his teeth, the blackberry juice on his tongue. After the echoes of the shot died down, the canyon was eerily quiet for a minute as the bear lay still on its back.
