That group OF Cavendish farmers
and their wives who have organized
as a farmers cluD are certainly carry
ing on an interesting campaign. With
the men discussing farm problems and
the women discussing the things that

setting an excellant example for the
farmers of some other localities who
have not yet walked up to their desir-
ability of getting together for their
own benefit. County Advisor Coryell
must wear satisfied smile when he
sees group of farmers get busy
after the Cavendish ashion.-Ludlow
