FFA Alumni Set
National Meeting
The National FFA Alumni
Association will hold its
National Meeting October 17
and 18, 1974. The Meeting
will be held in conjunction
with the National FFA
Convention in Kansas City,
Missouri. The Alumni
Meeting will be in the
Muehlebach Hotel on
Thursday and Friday
mornings, October 17 & 18, at
8:00 A.M. and 8:30 A.M.
respectively.
Presiding over the
Meeting will be this year’s
National FFA President
Alumni Chairman, Mr. Gus
R. Douglass, a former
National FFA President and
current Commissioner of
Agriculture in West Virginia.
The first presentation of
the “FFA Alumni Out
standing Achievement
Awards” will be made. This
award will be presented
annually to former FFA
equipment after dark unless
really necessary. Make sure
brakes are evenly adjusted.
Install and use rear-view
mirror. Obey traffic rules.
Use hand or turn signals.
Other Safety
Suggestions
Wear rather close-fitting
clothing. Loose clothing is
more apt to get caught in
machinery. A person who is
extremely hot or cold is
more likely to have an ac
cident. Provide shade from
hot sun, heated cab in cold
weather; wear clothing to
match the weather. Know
approved first aid practices
and carry first aid kits on
farm equipment - just in
case. Practice safety, set
safety examples and speak
up for safety.
Unique air system provides
outstanding husking capacity
with a John Deere
300 Husker
Give the John Deere 300 Husker a close look Its unique air system
features two powerful air blasts. You get a 2,400-cubic-foot-per-minute
airstream through the first elevator and a 3,400-cfm blast above the
husking bed. Both air blasts remove some husks, loosen others, and blow
trash away from the husking bed. Then the husking rolls can perform
at peak efficiency, removing the few husks which remain attached to the
ears. That’s why a John Deere 300 Husker can pick and husk up to
three narrow rows at high speed. Be sure to ask about new high-flotation
tires too. See the high-capacity, efficient 300 Husker soon.
