POWER COUNTY FARM
BUREAU Is ORGANIZED
Purpose Is TO Cooperate With and d.
rect Work of County Agent.

Under the guidance of the state
leader of county agents, H. ". Hoch-
baum, a temporary organization of
the Power County farm bureau was
perfected at meeting held in the
office of the county agent this after
noon. The farm bureau is the second
year development of county agent
work everywhere, and permits the
members Of the organization to lay
out and direct the work of the county
agent. II also places a large measure
Of responsibility upon the executive
committee and the advisory council.
Some time in the spring, probably in
May, after the membership has been
increased, a permanent organization
will be formed.
The plan Of organization provides
for the election Of members in each
locality as members of an advisory
council. These advisors will have
charge of the work in their respective
localities, and also elect, at the annual
meeting, the members of the executive
committee.
The executive committee consists
OF nine members, each one of whom
will be in charge of some special pro-
ject, seed growing, live stock, pest ex-
termination, etc. The committee is
supposed to meet at least once each
month and lay out and direct the
county agents activity. The advisory
council, in turn, directs the executive
committee.
Whenever anyone wants to reach
the county agent, he does so through
the advisory council or the district
executive committeeman. The advi-
sorry council meets at least once each
month. BY adopting this plan the
county agents work is greatly simpli-
fed. Ten men are reached where one
was reached before and an entire COM
by a demonstration where one indivi-
dual received attention in the past.
Through the local organization entire
communities gets in line on one big
problem and finally the whole county
and more definite and sweeping re-
suits obtained. This will result in
countrywide campaign against weeds,
squirrels or rabbits or for summer
fallow, etc.
