would be a very difficult matter
to surpass this very excellent
percentage of attendance. In
fact, we go SO far as to say we
don't think it has ever been
done. Almost without excep-

dumping" up against the next

ORGANIZED COUNTY
FARM ASSOCIATION

A meeting OF the farmers of
the various sections was held in
the Academy assembly hall Mon
day afternoon for the purpose
of organizing a County Farm
improvement Association. Farm
Advisor Fillerup acted as chair
man of the meeting, and the
following officers were elected:
M. R. Tanner, Snowflake, presi-
dent; James Petersen, Pinedale,
first vice president; Joseph c..
Hansen, St. Joseph, second vice
president; j. ]. Shumway, Tay-
lor, secretary and treasurer.
Mr.. Fillerup made a talk at
the meeting on 'home comsump-
tion," saying that the farmers
should not only raise what is
needed for their own use, in
meats, beef, pork and other
commodities, but should sup
ply the local demand. Also, that
the county organization should
connect up" with the county
market, look into t h e
county roads and other needed
improvements beneficial to the
farmers. and all. He advocated
the raising of more beef, more
pork, more poultry, more vege-
tables, and market them in the
county. He spoke of the pro-
posed Lakeside dairy and the
means of procuring equipment
for dairy. He thought that
the County Association should
take up the matter as a county
movement.
The officers elected are all
wide-awake and prosperous far
mers, and we look to hear of
many, many good things from
the organization.
The regular monthly meeting
of the Snowflake Farm Associa-
ton will be held in the Stake
house Monday night, May 1, at
8 o'clock. Mrs. j. w. Clayton
will give a lecture and demon
strations on conveniences of the
