A. Busy With Farming- Activities Eldora's F. F. A. chapter has ended their summer football season with a record of four wins and no losses.

Basketball is the next thing on the agenda. Basketball practice will be held after the F. F. A. meeting.

Tuesday, Sept. 19, the ag. department attended the National Field Day at Zearing. There were tractors and wagons which took them on tours of the points of interest. Building of a dam, filling in a gully, strip cropping and alfalfa test plots were a few of the varied things to be seen.
