Macbeth was to Donalbain's
words: ''The near in blood, the

understood by German ears as indi-

by quoting Macbeth's reference in
the ensuing act to ''our bloody

one that has been accomplished.
The Federal Government thru
the United States Department of
| Agriculture, early in the coming
year, will announce a program
for meeting the National Agri-
cultural needs for 1919. In this
recommendation will be made as
to what must be produced to pro-
vide for the Nation itself and
fulfill it's food obligations to
other countries.
The objects of the campaign
are such as to justify an appeal
for the aid Of the general as well
as the farming public:
1. Farmers their families and
organizations are asked to enlist
in this organized movement to
carry out the Government, State
and County Agricultural Pro-
gram.
2. The women Of the state are
asked to give effective service by
systematic and unified efforts in
food production such as garden
ing, poultry raising, dairying, and
orcharding, and in safeguarding
thru economical use the Nations
resources. especially food. tex
tiles, fuel, and the health of all
citizens, as a part of the Agricul-
tural Program.
3. The attention of the city
people is directed to the fact
that the National. State and
County Agricultural Extension
Service for food production and
conservation is the machinery
for carrying out the AgricuItur-
al Program. The city people
should make inquiry as to what
has been done thru this service
in 1918. and their active support
should be given the plans for
1919.
1t is important in this cam
paign to emphasize the New"
Farm Bureau. It should be con-
sidered not alone as an organi-
zation to aid the work of the
county agent. Rather it should
be understood as becoming the
officially recognized agency, or
institution, educational in char
acter. for cooperating with state
and nation in meeting agricultur-
al needs. and in planning, admin
istering and directing all phases
Of Extension work in agriculture
and home economics in the coun-
ty
Never have results been
achieved in Farm Bureau efforts
as this year. The farmers of the
nation are facing some of the
greatest responsibilities that
ever confronted them. 1t is gra-
tifying that in the face of this
situation the farm bureau move
ment has demonstrated it can as
sist in meeting the big problems
of the Farmer in big way. The
sum total of the work for the
year, when told, will be
splendid tribute to the devotion
of all who have been allied with
the movement.
Let us now prepare for great
er achievements in 1919.

Minnesota.
st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. IL, 1918.
To all the people of Minnesota:
With victory comes new out
look and new responsibilities.
While. I'VE rejoice we must pre-
pare to meet new needs. A
great American problem today is
to provide for a hungry world
by securing greater food produc-
tion and conservation and to pro-
mote the National welfare by Sc
curing better organization of our
agriculture.
To be prepared to cope with
such an engaging problem every
loyal and public spirited citizen
Of Minnesota is hereby asked to
cooperate with his County Farm
Bureau organization in determin-
ing and supporting an "Agricul-
tural Program for his county,
that will best meet local and
National needs.
The membership in Farm Bur-
eau organizations in Minnesota
at present representing 10000
families should be increased inn
mediately. to not less than l0O,-
GOO for the coming two year peri
cd. Such a body of united per-
sons. publically interested in
agriculture. will insure construc-
tive action on problems as they
arise. Accordingly each County
Farm Bureau organization is
hereby urged to Immediately or
ganize and conduct a campaign
with view to having a represen.
tative Of the Farm Bureau visit
every person who should be in
terested in agriculture and coun-
try living. The representative
should explain the achievements
Of the Farm Bureau during 1913.
and methods of work. and give
every person visited an opportu-
nifty to become a member.
The neriod Of December End to

declared to be Farm Bureau
membership week in Minnesota"
in which it is urged that general
enrolment of members be CON
Quoted.
Great as have been the de-
mands Of war upon our apricul-

ing of peace will greatly increase
rather than lessen our food obi
cations. This is especially true
Of livestock and livestock produc-

which has been engaged in the

America for food. This will he
