Ninety-six farm men and women turned out for the Farm Management Schools at Rockford School, Strain School, Union High School and the It-2 School at New Haven. Each school had four classes given once a week for four weeks. The first class dealt with the different tools used to measure a successful farm business years ago and tools used today to measure a farm business. During the second class, "Family Living" was discussed. Speakers pointed out that the average family of four had a family living expense of around $2600.

This money had to come from net profit and not gross income; At this meeting the group analyzed a farm business to see if it was making money with its present setup. At the third class the group reorganized the farm crop system and livestock of this farm and found out just how much it could improve the families income by reorganizing the farm business. Wise use of credit was discussed at the last class. Discussion centered around the three different classes of agriculture credit, aids to build and maintain good credit standings and rules for the sound and wise use of credit. The highlight of the classes came at the last class when each family received a certificate of award from the Washington Chamber of Commerce for attending the Farm Management Schools to further their education on farm management.

Those attending the classes at the different schools were: Rockford School: Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Nor Holy Week services at Union churches will begin on Palm Sunday, this coming Sunday, and continue through Easter.
