Farm Bureau In Every County.

Farm Bureau In Every County.
While several States have county
agents in every county, to Iowa be-
longs the distinction of being the first
State to organize a farm bureau in
each county, according to information
reaching the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
The farm bureau is a voluntary
local organization of farmers for CO.
operation with the United States De-
partment-of-Agricu and the State
agricultural colleges in extension
work 1t outlines and carries out a
definite program of agricultural inn
prOvement. Essentially il is a cham
Der of agriculture, corresponding in
many of its functions with the city
chamber of commerce. 1t has been
developed as the answer to the need
of the county agent for an effective
organization to extend the extension
work effectively over the county.
One OF the important features OF
farm bureaus, especially at the pres
emit time, is to assist county agents
in federal agricultural forces for the
national defense.
New York has nearly completed it's
list of farm bureaus, and number Of
other States are not far behind.

Fowls are very susceptible to
poisoning by common salt, as one
fifteenth of an ounce of salt per
pounds of live weight is sufficient to
kill 1t is very dangerous to allow
fowls access to pickle brine of any
