They exhibited 11 head of steers.
These boys walked away with

All boys left early Monday even
ing with their steers, arriving in
Albany to unload, feed and bed
down steers, before enjoying a
nice supper at the Davis Brothers
Restaurant.
We made reservations in the Al
bany Hotel to enjoy a well needed
night’s rest. All boys were up
early the next morning and fitting
their steers for the big show. The
steers were placed in three class
es, middle, light, and heavy. Out
of the 11 head of steers, eight were
in the heavy weight division. Boys
placing in heavy weight were: Lar
ry Walker, Second Reserve Cham
pion; Jimmy Paul, sth; Earl
Cheek, 6th; and Ronnie Harper,
Bth.
Boys placing in lightweight were
Buddy Sullivan, 9th. Placing in
Middle weight were: Earl Cheek,
First. There was about 50 steers in
each class.
To end up the day of judging
there was a fitting and showing
contest. Placing in it were Larry
Walker, 2nd; Buddy Sullivan, 3rd;
Earl Cheek, sth; Ronnie Harper,
Bth; David O’Steen, 10th. There
also was a record book contest and
a judging contest and Ronnie Har
per won Bth place.
Later in the day there was a
large parade with steers on trucks
and Grand Champion Jimmy Dor
sett of Houston County riding with
Governor Ernest Vandiver.
Tuesday night all boys showing
steers, guests, advisors, and others
were invited to a steak supper at ,
Radium Springs. Governor Vandi
ver gave a talk.
Grand Champion winner Jimmy
Dorsett was honored with a tro
phy, prize money and pictures.
Wednesday all boys were up
early and anxious for the sale.
Jimmy Dorsett’s steer sold for
$1.05 a pound to bring an overall
price of $1,150. The FFA Chapter
average sale was $ .33 a pound; 1
“which was a pretty good aver
age,” says Mr. E. H. Cheek, advi- :
sor.
The Atlanta show and Amencus
Fat Cattle show are coming up ,
soon and we expect to do just as
well in these shows.
Thousands of Future Farmers
make the show circuit each year.
No longer are their honors limited
only to special youth events or
junior divisions. Now F. F. A,
members hold their own in all
classes of major livestock shows,

Soil Conservation
Houston
BY JACK MILLER
A. C. Pritchett of the Perry com
munity, cooperating with the Oc
mulgee District, was assisted re
cently in planning, laying out and
installing a parallel system of ter
races on his farm south of Perry
on U. S. Highway 41, near Moss
Oaks Lodge.
The improved water disposal
system includes water disposal
areas, excavated waterways, land
leveling, edge clearing, proper lo- '
cation of field roads, parallel ter- 1
races and contour tillage. If you 1
are interested in newer and bet- 1
ter ways of controlling runoff on 1
your cultivated fields you might '
drive by the Pritchett farm and
take a look at the system, I be
lieve you’ll like what you see.
And I’ll be happy to assist you in
establishing such a system on your
farm.
Mr. Pritchett used his own hea- 1
vy equipment to do the work.
Terraces and waterways were con
structed with a road patrol. A do
zer was used to do the clearing
and rough leveling. The patrol was
used to do the fine leveling. Ad
ditional leveling work will be done
as time permits.
The waterways and water dis
posal areas will be prepared, lim- '
ed, fertilized and planted to Bahia
grass or Coastal Bermuda grass.
In addition to stabilizing these
areas they will furnish hay for
livestock.
Assisted Curtis Gentry of the
Bonaire community in surveying
an additional 4,700 linear feet of
terraces on his farm this week.
Curtis is doing a good job with
his conservation farming opera
tions, in cooperation with the Oc
mulgee Soil Conservation Dis
trict. He is about to get his es
pecially difficult terracing prob
lems worked out.
taking a creditable share of cham
pionship honors.
Increased experience and know
how are responsible for such suc
cesses. Showmanship and top qua
lity animals always count heavily.
But don’t underestimate the value
of that all important preparation
period before show time—and this
credit goes to the boy. To have a
grand champion steer you must
work with him and the Perry
Chapter has certainly proved it—
we, the boys of the Perry Chapter
certainly owe a lot of the credit to
our advisor, Mr. Cheek. With
his ability and know how
has certainly pushed our chapter
to the top not only in cattle
shows but in all shows and every
kind of contest which our FFA
Chapter enters.
