JULESBURG GRIT-ADyOCATE

ming communities and its farming
population as whole organized.
An organized county can solve a
majority of its problems through CO.
operative effort without being depend
ent upon outside assistance.
What Is the Farm Bureau,
The County Farm Bureau is an in
stitution for the development of a
county program of work in agricul-
ture and home economies, and for CO.
operating with state and government
agencies in the development of profit
able farm management and efficient
and wholesome home and community
life for men and women and chill
dren. 1t is an organized agricultur-
al democracy, by means of which the
farmers and their families express
themselves concerning all matters re-
lating to the advancement of agri-
cultural, home and community life.
1t is the recognized agency through
which the state agricultural college
and the U. S. department of agricul-
ture will cooperate in all extension
work in the county, whether that work
be with farm crops, farm animals or
the problems of the home. and COM
munity life.
This community should be thinking
of their own problems and of what
they desire to work on strong. The
farmers should get together on some
thing. Good will surely come from
it-and Sedgwick county should be
ready at all times to make the best
of every opportunity which will mean
mutual benefits.
What the Farm Bureau Does
Promotes improved methods of crop
production. Introduces and studies
new and profitable farm crops, pro-
notes better methods of livestock
management, promotes methods of
plant diesease eradication in field, or
chard and garden; promotes eradica-
ticn of insect animal pests; takes a
systematic record of farm business
with view to making it more profit
able; organizes boys and girls clubs;
organizes home makers clubs and the
short courses; arranges for farmers
meetings, agricultural tours and ex-
tension schools; assists in the county
and livestock fairs; encourages COM
munity cooperation; handles the labor
seed, crop and marketing problems of
the county; serves as clearing house
for all the activities of other farmers
organizations and ce-ordinates their
efforts; cooperates with other organi-
cations in constructive work and i'm
provements worth while for all of the

people OF the county.
With the new organization in Sedg-
wick county there would be many ad-
vantages The women would have a
woman's unit in the county farm bur
eau and through the various LOCAL COM
munity and county committees each
woman in the county Will have the op-
portunity to help organize her commu-
nifty and ask for the things this par
ticular community wants rather than
wait and take any suggestion that
the agent might give. In this way
the people learn their own problems
and can easily find a solution to
them.

FARMERS MEETING

There will be farmers meeting
in the court house Monday, Aug. 10,
beginning at 10 o'clock. DR.. W. W.
Long, director of Extension Work in
South Carolina will be present. DR..
Long is an influential speaker and
those who hear him will be well pleas
ed.
The purpose of the meeting is two
fold. First, DR.. Long will take up the
wheat question and plans will be made
to hold about Is meetings in the coun-
ty, urging the farmers to sow wheat
his fall. The war is not yet won and
we must not slacken u efforts to
win this war until Germany is de-
feat-ed (and she must admit it before
we believe she is defeated) and peace
is signed. Everybody should SOW
wheat this fall, and it is my desire
to hold an extensive wheat campaign
in the county in the first week in Sep.
TENDER, and this meeting will be the
beginning of the campaign.
Also, we are organizing a Farmers
Cooperative Marketing Association
at Greenwood for Abbeville and Nc
Cormick counties. The Association
will be established at a capital Of
$4,000, shares will be sold to the far
mers at $25 each. Mccormick ha:
been allotted $1,000 worth of shares
and Abbeville county will take $1,000
worth. This is one of the most needy
steps that should be taken up by the
farmers-we need a market for oul
surplus products. A similar organi
cation in Orangeburg county ha:
been in operation since January anc
has sold over $4,000 worth of farm
products for the farmers and will
do at least 100000 worth of business
this year.
Mr.. J. S. Stark was elected temper.
airy director for Abbeville county
at this meeting held in Greenwood on
August 8.
1t is necessary that as many farm
ers come to this meeting as possibly
can on Monday, Aug. 10, at 10 o.
clock.
(Signed) j. S. Stark,
W. A. Rowell
