County Farm Bureau are being
formed all over the county under
direction of Farm Adviser L. w.

met with some opposition, but
since 1t has been shown that in
1913 Mr.. Rusk saved more than
$4,000 in hogs from cholera the
organization is meeting with
much encouragement. Business
men as well as farmers are be-
coming members and it is hoped
by spring to have nearly 1000
members.
Because of hog cholera and the
Utmost utter impossibility of re
moving the germ from a farm.
thousands of dollars have been
lost here each year by stock rails
ers thru the ravages of the dis
ease. These township organiza-
tions will wage systematic war
against the disease and in 1914
nope practically to eliminate it in
the county.
Mexico alone paid more than
$4,000 last year for milk and
cream imported to supply the
local demand. The Mckee Com
nercial Club and the County
Narm Bureau will inaugurate n
eampaign at once to promote
larry farming here. The cam
paign will be educational and

T. b. Hendrix: Mr.. Editor,
here's dollar, keep the Message
coming. Yes, the drouth was a
little hard on us farmers last sea-
son, but ther's always Il silver lin
ing to every cloud-tho we needed
the clouds last summer, wet
clouds, needed 'em bad. But the
country's all right, and the gov
Iernment at Washington still lives,
Better times ahead for the farmer
and laborer and everybody else.

b. w. Hill: You better cor
rect mistake you made, Mr.. Ed
itor. You said that m. NJ. Hill
while at work in a ditch on the
streets wrenched his back severely
three or four weeks ago and has
been disabled ever since.". NJ.
NJ. Hill is my wife, and two OIL
three days after the paper came
out a dozen women at the churcf
asked me, in very solicitous words,
how Mrs. Hill was getting along
with her crippled back. | had to
explain that Mrs. Hill had not
been in the ditch-a preposterous
idea, but they did not seem to see
the point. It's only man who
ever gets in a ditch. I'll have to
own up. How's my backl Get
ting along all right now, but call
me B. w. Hill next time.
