! A meeting was held Thursday at
Fort Madison for the organization OF
a farm bureau and the appointment OF
a county agent. The meeting was q
successful one, and although all of the
townships were not represented, there
was a sufficient number there to Per
fleet an organization. The Fort Madt-
son Democrat says of the meeting:
| The Lee County Farm Agent Blu
reau was organized at the meeting OF
the temporary organization held at the
rooms of the Chamber Of Commerce
here, Thursday afternoon. The meet
| ing was one of the most enthusiastic
and best attended gatherings OF farm
ers and others interested in agricul-
tural pursuits that has been held in
the county. Several hundred were in
attendance,
Frank Ciyne, well known farmer
residing in Jefferson township, was
named as president of the society,
with Warren Beebe OF Viewer, as vice
president. H. J. Kennedy OF Fort
Madison was named as treasurer, with
E. &. Lynn Of Donnellson, as secretary
iof the association. Directors for all
but three townships in the county
were named
The organization is the direct result
of the efforts of the Fort Madison
Chamber of Commerce. The local
chamber took the matter up at a meet
ing last September and carried it
through to the point where the state
department became interested and
the meeting was arranged here in Sep
TENDER when the temporary organiza-
ton was started Then followed the
~ A " 49, hn
agricultural department and the form
alton of the bureau in the county.
inasmuch as the railroads radiate
out Of Fort Madison into all sections
of this county, all leading roads OF
the county center here and with the
county seat and court house with free
office rooms for the agent, it Is consid-
cred likely that the board Of directors
will decide on Fort Madison as the
headquarters of the association
The board Of directors will meet in
the near future to decide on the ap-
pointment OF county agent. Three
men are being considered.
The government will pay the salary
OF the county agent to the extent of
81, 800 a year. All over that must be
paid by the association.
The annual meeting OF the bureau
has been set for the third Monday in
January each year
The meeting here was very enthus-
iastic. All of the members in attend
ance were heart and soul in the move
ment and the general opinion was that
the county agent should be on the
ground as soon as possible.
The officers elected were.
