THE COMMUNITIES PART IN THE
FARM BUREAU

The Farm Bureau is based upon
county program of work. Work which
the various communities have in a
public meeting asked to be accom-
plished. That is as it should be. No
community knows its needs better
than the community itself and no
community exists but what can be ben
Gifted thru some effort on the part of
the popele.
To do-to accomplish--things need
ed requires the getting together OF the
people. An open discussion of what
is needed to be done to make the
county more prosperous. There will
be many things that could be done in
each county, but choose a few of the
real big things that need the atten-
ton of the people. Make someone re.
sponsibIe for the carrying on of your
paid agents, the county agricultural
agent and the home demonstration
agent. bring these things to pass. Not
with the help of the agents alone In all
cases, but thru the agents these COM
munity wants can be satisfied to de-
gree at least by the efforts of special
lists from the state college or the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture.
During the two weeks previous to
the picnic the community centers In
the county have been called together
and asked to express themselves on
their needs and wants. II Is difficult
in some communities to decide upon
what really is the bit of work needing
attention. but by talking it over 1t
comes out in the threshing.
Hardscrabble men believe no big
ger task could be tackled or no more
profitable bit of work done than the
control of grasshoppers. They can be
controlled because they have been
controlled. 1t remains now to bring
all possible assistance to the farmers
in this matter.
Soil fertility is another problem of
this community which will have the
tention, and such work as pruning
and the specialists of college and gov
ernment.
In the Canon City district horticul-
tural subjects naturally demand at.
tentioon, and such work as pruning
and spraying and proper cultural
methods will have the attention OF
the Farm Bureau committeeman.
Other communities have other
things that they would like to see ac-
complished. The Farm Bureau, after
the election of officers and executive
committee on Aug. goth, will then
have county plan of work and efforts
will be made to see that the commun-
ity needs and wants are satisfied as
much as 1t is possible to satisfy them
with the help of these agents thru the
assistance of state and government
agricultural forces.
