Local FFA
Chapter To
Observe Week
Future Farmers of America
members throughout the na
tion are scheduling special ac
tivities to focus public atten
tion on the work of their or
ganization during National
FFA week, February 21-28.
Members of the Newton
County FFA Chapter will have
chapel exercises this week at
Newton High, and will partici
pate in other activities next
week relative to observance of
FFA week.
Membership in the FFA is
made up of farm boys who
are students of vocational ag
riculture in high school. The
organization’s activities are
designed primarily to help de
velop rural leadership and good
citizenship, and to stimulate
the boys to better achievement
in their study and work to
ward successful establishments
in farming.
The Newton County FFA
chapter has 56 members. Of
ficers are: President, Billy Mc-
Cart; Vice President, Grier
Holifield: Secretary, Dave
Smith; Reporter, Fanklin Mal
colm; Treasurer, Jerry Hen
derson, and Sentinel, Wendell
Miller.
J. D. Smith and H. M. Pul
liam, vocational Agriculture
instructors in Newton County
High School serve as advisors
of the FFA chapter.
The national Future Farmer
organization has 380,000 mem
bers, with 9.000 local chapters
in the 48 States, Hiwaii and
Puerto Rico. Membership in
Georgia is more than 17,000.
Future Farmers choose the
week of George Washington's
birthday each year for the ob
servance of National FFA
Week. Although usually rec
ognized as a Revolutionary War
General and our first presi
dent, Washington’s first love
was the farm he called Mount
Vernon. There, he was one of
the first in the nation to prac
tice contour planting, crop ro
tations, fertilization and other I
soil conservation and improve-1
ment methods. It was more J
than a century after Washing- j
ton’s death before general use :
was made of many of the sound j
agricultural practices that he 1
advocated.

Extension Service declare rec
ords prove that mere observa
