Your County Agricultural Board,
after discussing some OF these things,
took up a definite plan looking toward
getting results that people OF Iron
County are waiting and asking for,
still do not have sufficient means or
securing. Education as 90 the needs Is
of little value unless We have means
OF communication, common under
standing, and ability to cooperate.
Approaching some OF these factors,
the board is willing 10 spend time with
the people in deterarfning what the
people need most and assist them in
securing their wishes IL consistent
with the majority.
All these things cannot be done At
once. but we will strive 10 do our best

ing and few results that must be at
tended In reducing the cost of living TO
the consumer, and TO make farming
profitable which is nor the case OF

will be arranged in each township by
the Township Representative for the
purpose OF discussing questions and
getting answers, SO the County Agri-
cultural Board can work along the
lines most desired by the people OF the
county Al the close or the year and at
such other times as the County Board
may think hest. meetings may be call
ed in each township for getting the
expression Of the farmers regarding
questions at hand or liable to arise.

people for discussion and answers dur
