Crops
by Jim Hiestand
The Elizabeth town FFA
Chaptei has fifteen acres of
land to raise crops. The Juniors,
are mainly responsible for the
planning and the success of the
farming program.
This summer we are planning
to grow tobacco and field corn.
We also a field of
alfalfa, which was planted sever
al years ago
The profit we make on these
crops goes in the treasury for
three trips Ten dollars goes to
the Freshman class for a one
day field trip and twenty dollars
to the Sophomore class for a
two day field trip The balance
of the money is used by the
Seniors for a class trip in the
summer of ’69. This makes the
Juniors responsible for grow
ing a profitable crop so we can
have a trip to the west coast
without worrying about ex
penses.
