arm Bureau
Is Necessary

Experience has shown that the
Farm Bureau organization is the only
successful organization that has been
able to get all of the farmers Of the
county to work together and solve
not only the problems of their own
community but those Of the entire
county. The main reason for this
cooperation being due to the fact
that the farmer knows and feels that
he is part OF the organization and
that it is his own association. Any
of us will do more to help ourselves
than we will to help the other fell
low, and it is because of this that
Farm Bureau is to be organized In
this county.
Organizations OF this kind are
found in Las Animas, Ell Paso, Pue-
bio, Boulder, Logan and Fort Nor
gan counties, as well as in other sec
tions of the state All of the above
organizations have accomplished
great deal. Space prevents too de-
tailed a description of all the things
accomplished but tho following will
give an idea of what have been DONE
SOME ACCOMPLISHMENT
In the San Luis Valley, thru or
ganization, the hog industry was
saved-disease stamped out and has
been kept under control. This has
meant a saving of thousands of dol
lars to farmers of that area
A grasshopper pest was fought in
Las Animas county and put under
control-saving the county thous-
ands of dollars.
! 100000 was saved in Boulder
county in one year thru spraying,
only five demonstrations being given.
A 10 per cent saving on seed po-
tatoes to farmers was effected in the
San Luis valley.
In Adams county there was not q
single road straight thru the coun-
ty. The Farm Bureau, with the aid
road straight across.
A saving of $2.00 per 100 pounds
for twine was obtained thru coopera-
tive buying from local merchants.
This occurred in the Montexuma val-
ley.
In Logan county the Farm Bureau
bonded the farmers to donate Ia
Dor. The county commissioners dup
Heated with cash. Two new roads,
were obtained and their upkeep as-
sured with no additional tax.
In Garfield county the Farm Bu-
reau brought in sevenS car loads Of
high grade cows and eleven good
Holstein bulls
Exchange lists are put out by the
Farm Bureaus. In these the farmers
list their wants and what they havs
for SALE. Thru this list money IL kept
in the county. and products OF
known as we'll as of desirable qual1
ity are obtained.
The subject of marketing cro0s
and live stock is ever before the farm
er. In many instances he has not ~
ceived what he should for his pro
, ducts. The Farm Bureau thru n.
committees on marketing Is in toucaI
with desirable information regardinJ

COLBERT COUNTS VOTE WAS Z ID 1
 FOR SCHOOL TAX

Sheffield, February S.-(Special )-The special election held in Colbert county on Tuesday, February 6, to determine the S-mll, tax, resulted in vote of ap- proximately to 1 in favor of the meas ure The total vote was approximately 626 for and 358 against. Sheffield voted l77 for and B against. Among those who favored the tax there is a feeling that no uncertain victory was won, as it means better schools for Colbert county, as a whole. After the result was known, Chairman John D. Rather, Jr, issued the following statement: There is nothing that will contribute as largely to the advancement, progress and enlightenment of Colbert county as the adoption of the 3-mill educational tax, unless it has been the elimination of liquor from the county. Education and prohibition go hand in hand"
 Destruction of the boil weevil in this section is believed by farmers to have resulted from the recent cold weather experienced in this section. Some of the farmers have experimented with corn and cotton stalks and discovered that most of the weevil found therein had been killed by the freeze. It began raining here last night and it would appear that still more cold weather is in store, which, of course, would probably prove detri- mental to the boil weevil menace
