takes repeatedly and that he die
not obey Matkin's order with re.
spect to the gopher work. He cited
the fact that he had told Mr.. Ander-
son not to mix up too much poisoned
oats but that Anderson now had on
hand supply of poisoned bait that
would deteriorate before next season.
The committee replied that it did not
consider that poisoned bait did deteri-

source was imaginary. Mr.. Matkin al

transacting the regular business com.
ing before the committee. Present
were President Hans P. Madsen, Hans

and a few members of community
committees.
After the reading of minutes and
approval of reports and bills, the
county agent notified the committee
of his dismissal by the County Com
missioners to take effect December
1st. After some discussion, a motion
was made that the committee meet
with the board as body to state it's

formed by the board as to the specific
reasons for the action taken, if the
board felt disposed to give them. The
motion was carried and the committee

asked the board for it's reasons for
lischarging Mr.. Anderson If such rea-
sons were available. Mr.. Weinrich re-
,lied that he had received several
from farmers regarding |
heir dissatisfaction with Mr.. Ander-
on's work and that he considered that
county of this size should have a
i've man for the job.
Members of the committee express
ed their appreciation of the extensive
'opher campaign, pure seed cam
aign, assistance given cooperative
vork among farmers, and the benefits
ccruing from an organization such as
he Farm Bureau, all due to the eff
orts of the county agent. The COM
littee expressed itself as not main
aiming that Mr.. Anderson was the |
nartest man in the state but that he
as imbued with the spirit of service /
