Adopting recommendations made by
c. A. McNabb. county farlA demon
stfation agent, and at the same time
carrying out the original plans on
which the organization was started,
the board Of directors Of the CONNER
cial and Farm Bureau, AZ meeting
last night, decided 10 launch cam
paisn the purpose Of which viii
be to bring the business men Of an
the towns IN the county into the bu-
IeaU as members.
The particular incident which NOV
"a Mr.. McNabb 10 make this recon-
meudation was the remark OF prom
inent business man Of Rush Springs.
who said, I'VE think ehiekasha is sell
fish in not letting us IN on the farm
bureau movement. We see what it is
doing and we want TO be part Of it,"
Responding promptly to this senti-
ment the board adopted resolution
inviting business men ard farmers IN
all parts of the county to join the or
ganizatlon and instructed President
johnson TO appoint committee to
visit the various towns during the
next zen days, hold meetings and place
the matter before the people. Under
the motion Mc. Johnson IS chairman
of the committee and Mr. McNabb is
member, while others are yet to be
chosen.
Nothing could be finer" said Mr.
McNabb "than for the business men
Of the verious towns to visit each
other and become more closely united
in the work OF building up Grady
county. II Is what they must do if
we make this county what It should
be-"
with the additional funds expected
TO be available with a larger member
ship. the directors have on hand plans
for promoting The efficiency Of the
bureau. making The influence Of the
farm demonstration work felt in every
section OF the county
Canning Clubs
Another recomm adation made by
Mr.. McNabb was that Ntmen agent
be placed in charge of the girls can
ming clubs in the county With the
funds furnished by the department Of
agriculture. the cost of this work TO
the bureau would be only $3.50 q year.
"A vast amount OF fruit and yegeta-
bles go to waste in this county. said
Mr.. McNabb. "and it all might be saw
ed by giving the girls little ele ele-
mentary instruction in the art Of can
ming. The display of canned goods
made BY the girls clubs at the state
fair was very fine and practically all
OF II came from counties having wo
men agents in charge. I have never
seen finer fruit and vegetables than
saw In the southern part Of Grady
county this season and our girls ought
to be taught to save them.
IN the event that enough funds ar
made available. the directors viii
likely launch the canning club move
ment.
Report on State Fair.
Geo. W. Caldwell Of the state fail
committee reported thar the count
Won ninth place on general exhihi
and. he added, "The judge came t.
me couple Of days after the award
we're made and told me that in tn
rush he overlooked some things ant
we we're entitled to fifth place, but
was too late to change it.
The board spent considerable tim
auditing the exhibit expense accoun
and congratulated themselves whei
they found that they would have {
draw on the general fund of the ba
reau for only s21.92 to make up d
ficit. It was stated that Caddo couI

and in view of this fact. the boar
thought the committee in charge {
the Grady county exhibit had don
some pretty shrewd financiering.
Arrangements were made 10 displa
