cession that Future Farmers have
observed a national F.F.A. Week.
In proclaiming an F. A. Week
for Georgia, Governor Talmadge
pointed out that for twenty
ohe years this national organization
of farm boys has made an outstand
ing contribution to the development
of rural leadership, the building of
character and the advancement of
the nation’s agriculture and wel
fare.”
F. F. A. work is closely allied with
vocational agriculture because only
those boys regularly enrolled in
high school agriculture classes are
eligible to become F. F. A. mem
bers.
Georgia’s Future Farmers last
year owned nearly 14,000 purebred
or improved livestock, according to
T. G. Walters, state supervisor of
agricultural education.
Of these animals, 2,182 were dairy
cattle, 3,202 beef and 8,861 swine.
FFA-ers also had 334,368 chickens
as a part of their supervised project
programs.
In connection with these livestock
projects they last fall seeded more
than 6,000 acres to winter grazing
crops, using mixtures of fescue, la
dino, white dutch and crimson clo
vers, rye grass and oats, Walters
said. * •
Future Farmers have also been
conducting a state-wide permanent
pasture program in which members
from 111 chapters have participated.
During that time 4,776 acres of per
manent pastures have been estab
lished by seeding, sodding and ferti
lizing; and several thousand addi
tional acres improved by disking,
clearing and mowing.
