Will Assist Farmers.
President H. C. Hess explained that
one of the main objects of the association
is to assist the farmers in caring for
their crops which includes doing every
thing possible to secure adequate and
suitable farm laborers for the harvest
or whenever needed.
To assist the government in making a
survey of the probable food production
in the state, blanks have recently been
sent to every farmer, asking for state
ment of the crops that he expects to
raise during the season, and also a re-
quest for an estimate of help he will
require during the season. President
Hess said he had received response
to practically all of the blanks sent out
in this county. y
Secretary R. B. Kennedy read the
articles Of association, after which they
were taken up, section by section, dis
cussed and adopted nearly as they had
been submitted. AS passed they are as
