Future Farmers Of America in Regular Meeting Thursday Robcraonville Chapter Will Compete for Special Award (Robersonville Herald) The?Hfiherwinville Chapter _ ol Future Farmers of America held its j weekly meeting last Thursday in the new agricultural building on the j high school campus The members interestingly discussed an emlde matic plaque of the Furture Farm ers of America which is to be award ed to the outstanding chapter in the tri-county federations. Chapters competing for the signal honor are. Oak City. Jamesville, Plymouth, Col umbia. Roper, Creswell and the one here. Local boys attending the meeting last week were enthusias tic in making their plans for com peting in the contest and they are determined Uj do everything pos sible to win the award. The Future Farmers of America were shown a group of slides last Friday by C. V. Yarlington on the manufacture of paints from soy bean oil. According to tests, the soy bean paint is more elastic and therefore more endurable than linseed oil paint according to the tests demon strated in the pictures. The hammer mill project, accord ing to members of the local chapter is being advanced rapidly. Under the supervision of Professor E. W Rochester, approximately $45.00 has been raised for the project by the boys. Just as soon as sufficient money is made available, a hammer mill will be bought and placed in the shop and will become permanent e quipment to be used by the mem bers. People interested in raising chic kens should visit the local high school agricultural department. A chicken project is to be carried on right in the shop with two groups of chickens. One group is to be placed in a brooder made by the agricultur al students and fed home-mixed feeds. The other group is to-be plac ed in a bought brooder and fed on straight commercial feeds. They are to be weighed and compared weekly. At the end of eight weeks a final check will be made and the profits figured in both groups. In this way the members can see for themselves the profit or loss derived from home-mixed feeds.
