State Leader HOchbaum Explains the
PrOpOsitiOn-Will Issue Pamphlet
Containing News of the Progress of
the Movement and It's Results

For the purpose of co operating
with County Agent w. n. Birch in his
scientific work in the interest of bet
ter farming, a large organization was
formed Saturday at the rooms Of the
Twin Falls Commercial Club, with Dr.
j. E. White as president, r. NJ. Musser
as secretary and T. H. Irwin as treas
urer. The president, with the advice
of the county agricultural agent, was
authorized to appoint six more mem
bers, which with the officers would
constitute an executive committee Of
nine. These will lay out plans for a
membership campaign throughout the
county. The society is called the
Twin Falls County Farm Bureau.
The executive committee will ap
point men in the several communities
for the purpose of helping with the
membership campaign which will
close with q big meeting and feed in
this city before the working season
begins. At this time a permanent or
ganizatiOn will supplant the present
temporary one.
The idea is, when the association
has become firmly established, to
have the executive committee consist
as nearly as possible of nine men who
are experts in different lines of farm
/ ing. These will meet monthly. They
viii keep in touch with the men elect
ed by the local organizations on their
local committees. The members of
the several local committees shall
constitute an advisory committee for
the county. This large advisory COM
mittee will meet quarterly and talk
things over with the committee of
nine. In the meantime, the local COM
mittee can take up any problem at any
time with the county executive COM
mittee or the county agent
in addition there will be an annual
membership meeting. After refer
ring to the success of DR.. Sullivan's
work in organization to combat hog
cholera as an example of what can
be done by the cooperation in any
one line, State Leader Hochbaum sug-
gested the following advantages of the
farm bureau system:
The farm bureau gives a direct ben
eft to its members which non-mem-
bers are not entitled to. All sucI
work as furnishing special quotations
and rates on seeds, feeds, live stool
and other supplies and advertising
these products for sale is more of ;
personal than a public benefit, anC
should be paid for by the individua
receiving it in the form of a member
ship in thes Twin Falls County Farm
Bureau.
Each member will receive the Twill
Falls County Farm Bureau News a
a part of his membership. The edi
torial committee will give seasona
information, results of demonstra
ions, meetings, etc, ana plans o
work Practical men will be urged t.
contribute short articles.
Each one who becomes member O
the Twin Falls County Farm Burea
indorses the work of the farm bureau
He has a proprietary interest in tn
: work and gives it his hearty cooper
alton and support.
= The kind of work being done by tn
= farm bureau depends on the demand
= of members and committeeman.
5 member shows his public spirit b
helping with his vote at the annus
meetings of the association; and hi
influence to direct this work alon
the right lines.
