FUTURE FARMERS
RAISE CROPS TO
PAY FOR TRIP
_
Twenty-six high school youths,,
members of the Future Farmers
of America, were in Ketchikan
recently enroute to Skagway on
a 12,000 mile trip, postponed a1
year ago because their crop of
beans was late last summer. i
The bean crop was important'
because it was to provide part of
the money for the trip. So they
stayed at school at Arendtsville_
Pennsylvania, tended crops and
planned the trp for this season.
Still needing a little money for
I
the longest trip ever to be taken
by students from the agricultural
high school, the boys this year
raised another crop. But they
took no chances on the late grow
th of beans halting their trip this
summer—they planted and har
vested peas.
$1300 EARNED
In all the boys raised three
crops that brought them $1300
when sold to vegetable canneries,
this year’s peas sold for $300, last,
year’s beans for $500, and a crop
of beans in 1935 brought $500.
All the boys are from 16 to 19
years old. They are juniors and,
seniors in the little rural voca- j
tional school at Arendtsville,near
Gettsburg.
They are proud to announce
that they are members of the as- -
sociation of Future Farmers of
America. However, from the sue
cess of their crops, it seems to
some that they should be termed
“present” farmers of America. It
is seldom that a farmer can raise

News Oldtimers
Pioneer Home,
Conies in Letter
In a letter to Jack Solomon
from Joe Phillips dated at Sitka,
August 2nd, Joe says he arrived
at the Pioneers Home, Sitka, on
July 29th after transferring to
the S. S. Northwestern at Juneau
for Sitka. I sure enjoyed the
trip—stopped at Dutch Harbor,
Bristol Bay, Akutan, False Pass,
Cordova and Juneau on the old
S. S. Victoria.
On the trip from Juneau to
Sitka we stopped at about six
different canneries and I took
them all in—it is sure some sight
to see how they handle and can
the salmon.
As to the Pioneers Home—it is
surely a wonderful place. We
have fine beds, plenty to eat, and
everything in the line of tobacco
or clothing, a show once a week
and a darn good doctor—What in
h-1 more does an old timer
want.
Some news about some of the
old timers of Nome who are now
here: Martin Ravenkilder is in
pretty good health. George Ko
mack is about the same as when
he left Nome. Poker Pete and
Joe Fortune are also the same as
when they left Nome. John Fos
berg former boss for the Pioneer
Mining Co.^ looks and feels fine.
“Doc" A. S. Kemp is as spry as
a iwo year oiu. c-nris xjoian ana
McKinzie are both in good health
and A. L. Carpenter is about the
same as when he left Nome.
Mike Kennedy of the Kougarok
looks like ready money and feels
fine. “Gasoline Red” Joe Earl, is
just the same as ever—looking ,
for an opportunity to bend his
elbow, but does get a chance.
Elmer Reed is in the best of
health and is clerk in the 'Super -
intendent”s office. As for myself
I am feeling very good, my back
is coming along fine. We have
nothing to worry about here and
get anything we need that is
necessary for us. All the boys
wish to be remembered to their
old time friends in Nome, and
would appreciate a letter now
and then. Let’s hear from you.
Will close with best wishes and
regards to alL
