F. F. A. Boys
Work In Shop
Each year the Glenwood
F. F. A. boys spend a part of
their time working in the
shop. Here they develop
many skills that a future
farmer will need, as well as
build items that are useful
on the home farm and in
their projects They build
and repair items for the gen
eral school system. The
school shop at Glenwood has
recently been remodeled and
many new items of equip
ment has been installed. The
boys take advantages of
these facilities in building
brooders, self feeders, lawn
chairs, cedar chests, book
cases, tables and other use
ful items.
Woods Burning
In The South
By Marvis Johnson
The South needs produc
tive forest lands to maintain
its prosperity, but it cannot
have them while uncontroll
ed woods burning continues.
Yearly burnings reported in
the South to nearly 40,000,-
000 acres of forest and cut
over land, or about 4-5 of
the total forest area burned
in the United States.
Most of the wood fires in
the South are started by
hunters, smokers, stockmen,
and fires escaping from rail
road engines, logging opera
tions, field clearings and
warming fires. Some land
owners burn their land as a
means of defending their
property against fires set out
by others. Yet often these
protection burners make a
bad situation worse by per
mitting their fires to spred
beyond their own land.
Every risk should be given
close study, and direct and
specified action should be
taken for its control, reduc
tion, and elimination.
There should be developed
in each community and thru
out the South a public sen
timent against devastating
woods burning and a deter
mination to do away with it.
The last step in fire pro
tection effort is actually to
put it out. Its aim is to ex
tinguish the fire completely
with least possible damage,
in the shortest time.
In the chapter the mem
bers have forestry as a pro
ject and have studied fores
try. Mr. Wallace Adams has
sponsored a forestry contest
and has given SIOO.OO prize
which will be broken down
into several prizes.

How The F. F. A.
Has Helped Me
By Ben Benton
Since I have been a mem
ber of the Glenwood Chap--
ter of the Future Farmers, I
have developed a great ap
preciation of rural life. Thru
it I have learned the real
value of the farmer and what
he does for us. He raises all
of our food and clothing. If
the farmer should fail, we
would starve. The Army, Na
vy and other defense work
would fail. It has helped me
to realize that agriculture is
the occupation of the world.
The FFA has helped me to
become a better leader and
citizen. I have had more
opportunities to speak in
public. It has aided me in
overcoming stage-fright. I
am now better able to pre
side in a meeting. I have
learned correct use of par
liamentary procedure.
By being a member of the
FFA I have been able to take
trips that I could not have
taken otherwise. We have
made chapter trips to Flori
da, North and South Caro
lina, and Tennessee. Trips
of this type are very educa
tional.
Through the FFA I have
learned to give and take —
cooperation. Work with oth
ers is necessary in every path
of life in this world of ours
today.
Our organization has help
ed me financially. Through
project work I have been
able to earn money. It tea
ches us to save. We save
our chapter money for our
annual trip in the summer.
Our organization has help
ed me socially. Parties to

“We Have Biscuits
Every Morning!”
Says Mrs. Douglas Byrd, Union City
“My family likes biscuits for breakfast, so I bake
some every morning. It’s no task at all with an
electric range.”
Mrs. Byrd is head of the homemaking depart
ment at the Campbell High School in nearby Fair
bum. She is actively interested in civic work. But
she manages so well that she finds plenty of time
for her family.
The only servants in her new home are electrical
appliances. They help to take the work out of
housework, and their wages are so small. No
wonder she thinks electricity is the biggest bargain
in her family budget! »
