The thing I have noticed
most is that the boys wait too
long to bring the machinery in,
MeGahen say«i. They'wait until
the tractor is in bad shape, and
then it takes a lot of work to
put it back in top notch order
He believes this a common fail
ing among farmers. “I tell the
boys, ’the best tune to fix a leak
in a fuel system is yesterday,
and the next best time is right
now ’ ” MeGahen says.

on painting tractors, he says,

During the first week of the
school year, the seniois began
their program with general
shop organization and shop
safety. Since that tujaa. they
have studied taim electrical
system and each hoy has been
lequired to wire tour boxes, a
switch, a receptacle and lights
Later in the year they will con
sider farm building construct
ion and each'boy will learn
stake out a building, set the
footer and lay a wall of con
crete blocks. Bach student will
prepare a bill of materials for
a 14 x 26 toot farm building.
Coupled with the two double
penods of tune in the faun
shop, each of the students
spends three double periods in
classroom work learning the
newest and most advanced gen
eral farm practices.
When spring planting time
does come, the tractors in the
Manheim area will he ready to
roll, and the boys will be ready
to operate them safely and
with efficiency.
