A book of barns
The Kentucky Vocational Agriculture Teacher's Association has compiled Barns of Kentucky, a 160-page, hardcover book with some 250 color and black-and-white photographs of both modern and historic barns from all over the state. The book is intended to preserve Kentucky's heritage, involve FFA members, and provide funds for FFA scholarships. The project was sponsored by the Burley Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association. The book is available for $39.95 plus $4.95 shipping by making a check out to KVATA and sending it to KVATA, c/o Doug Wilson/ Jackson County High School, P.O. Box 427, McKee, KY 40447. There are also 40 leather-bound editions available for $99.95 each with free shipping. All funds from sales of the book will be used for scholarships in Kentucky.

Fishing with 4-H
A sports fishing educational program is coming to Kentucky 4-H and will allow youth to go fishing, make tackle, learn the ecology of fishing, photography, rod building, and take field trips.
"Extension 4-H/youth development agents and volunteers will teach members the basics of fishing," says Carol Hanley, Extension specialist for 4-H/youth development at the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture. "They also will get assistance from the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources."
Hanley said agents are encouraged to take part in organizing the program by getting volunteers and offering to help in the area and/or county.
A spring meeting is being planned for leaders to start training and go fishing. For more information contact your county cooperative Extension office or Carol Hanley at (859) 257-5961 ext.251.- Gidget High
