e Offered FFA mm 5 ^ - C FFA M£#F#W \ x: More than 400 Future Farmers of America' leaders from Illinois high schools attended the annual Farm Bureau-FFA conference o Campus of Illinois State university in Normal, Dec. 26-28. The- conference is sponsored by the Illinois Agricultural association (state-wide Farm Bureau) and affiliated companies. From ieft: Larry Frohling. Marengo: Denijy McDannell, Woodstock; and Steven Crone, Harvard. In his last address before retirement, an FSServices,Inc. official challenged some 400 Future Farmers of America leaders to "learn to study and prepare and learn to express ideas clearly, precisely, concisely, and meaningfully". C. H. Becker, senior vicepresident of FS Services who is retiring after thirty-seven years in agri-business, was keynote speaker at the annual Farm Bureau-FFA holiday conference on the campus of Illinois State university Dec. 26-28. The conference was sponsored by the Illinois Agricultural association (state-wide Farm Bureau) and affiliated companies. Becker urged the high school vocational agriculture students to do their scholastic best "not for the sake of grades, but for a better and more practical reason to make second nature the process of study and preparation." He continued: "This process of learning to study and prepare will serve you well as long as you live--long after your grades have been forgotten. "Study and preparation will enable you to keep up to date and keep on top of whatever it is that you tackle. It will be highly relevant when you enter the field of agri-business or any related field, or if you go into the academic world, or into agriculture itself. The speaker said that more change has taken place during his lifetime than during the preceding ten generations. The remainder of the threeday conference will include a variety of speakers, panel discussions and films concerning topics such as citizenship, the forms of government, and responsibility of the individual. FFA chapters that take part in local FFA-Farm Bureau Acquaintance Day programs are eligible to send representatives to the holiday conference.
