MAY ORGANIZE FARM
BUREAU IN THIS COUNTY
The Establishment of Bureau and Employment
Of County Agent Would Prove Beneficial
to Farmers of Bear Lake.

United States Department of Agri-
culture, and these agencies promote
and direct his work.
Money to operate with Is furnished
by the United States Department of
Agriculture. the University of Idaho
and the county in which the agent
works.
The County Agent or Agricultur-
iBt does his work by field demon
strations on farms, helps In conduct
ing short courses, holds meetings
writes timely articles for the county
publications, distributes circulars
and bulletins and gets in touch with
the specialists OF the State Expert
ment Station, College OF Agriculture
and the u. S. Department of Agricul-
ture whenever the services of such
men are necessary. 1t is often found
that good farmers have overcome
troubles which are causing others
much trouble. 1t Is the business OF
the County Agriculturlst to know
who these good farmers are and use
their farms in field demonstrations
to the farmers of the community,
thereby suggesting improved meth
ods. The County Agent is sort of
travelling information bureau. In his
travels from one end OF the county
to the other he Is continually in
touch with the farming operations
in the county and Is in position TO
pick up a great number of good ideas
which may be of help to others in
similar situations in other sections
of the county. Some farmers may
have a surplus of some seed crop
or may want to buy or sell a COW
| horse or farm implement, and in his
, travels from section to section the

buyer and seller in touch. incident

The county agent 10 in position to

Of agriculture in the county.
Today. more than at any othel
time In the history OF this nation
has the need Of more intensified
farming been 80 great. It 10 imper
ative that every acre OF land shoulC
be made to produce the greatest yielt
possible of whatever cereal that hai
been planted. II IL also essentia

year and for several succeeding year
this nation is going to be called up
on to help feed the nations Of Eur
ope. which have been impoverishe
by war.
For these reasons. and others.
behooves the farmers of Bear LAX
county to accept new ideas and adop
new methods in farming. The bes
and most uniform way of doing thi
is by following the example set b

We uuueIbbhuu LnAN the nSuI1mchb
is growing in this county In favor of
the Organization of q farm bureau
as a preliminary to the employment
of a county agent. This is a move
in the right direction and 1t is to be
hoped that the county commission
ers will exert what influence and
authority they have in assisting to
bring about the establishment Of 3
farm bureau and the securing of q
competent man as county agent.
X The farmers IN Bingham and
Blaine counties have recently taken
steps to organize a bureau and Sc
cure an agent. Other counties in
the state which have organized bu-
reaus this year are Madison, Bonne-
Vile, Minidoka, Lincoln, Goodins
and Washington.
The farmers of Franklin county
organized bureau last year and Sc
cured a good man to serve as agent.
That the movement has proven ben
,eficial to the farmers Of that county
is evidenced by statements made BY
a prominent citizen Of Preston, in
a letter written recently to D. G.
Kunz OF this city. The letter was in
reply to one written by Mr.. Kunz,
asking for information relative to
the merits Of county agent. The
Vzk4au s.a 1900 &n NnIInwvus
Our county agent, John A. Nor
rison, receives $41.67 a month from
our county and the balance he gets
direct from the government OF the
United States, making his salary
about $1,000 a year. He has proven
to be a very valuable man for ouI
county and earns his salary severa
times over. We do not see how oui
county could afford 10 be without
him. He has been working all win
ter for the farmers getting hay. ant
he has succeeded In getting many
car loads at $3.50 a ton. whereai
the farmers without his help were
compelled to pay from S36 to so
a ton. He is now en-
gagged in giving detailed instruction.
to the farmers on the best way Il
plant crops OF all kinds.
He Ii busy every minute of the da.
and every day of the year, and h
has rendered Invaluable service t
the community.
Now In as much as the fedora
government pays most of the ex
penses of a county agent, you Ger
tainly should not be without on
longer than 1t takes your commits
sioners to find a man."
