they’ve accomplished is
usually a tremendous
amount.
Just this week, they dug up
700 hyacinths and 500 tulip
bulbs which they potted and
buried under 12 mches of
sawdust last November for
rooting and storage pur

be taken care of in the
chapter’s greenhouse and
sold for Easter flowers as a
money-making project.
The chapter members
were also busy this week

demonstrations was then
given to the Young Farmer
group from the area and a
winner chosen. This year
that winner was the fresh
man class. According to
Bickel, they were awarded
two things - $l5 from the
Young Farmers and the
opportunity to present their
demonstration on regional
television later in the year.
The second and third place
demonstrations also earned
money from the Young
Farmers. Second place
earned $lO and the third, $5.
Along with the assembly
for FFA week, the FFA’ers
also created a window
exhibit outside of the
auditorium. They make
exhibits at this time of year
during FFA week and during
the week of their annual
banquet.
