of peace. The people are

will probably give up before another
two weeks. and 1t Is not at all inn

But Germany is not yet conquered.

Fair, which were scheduled to be held
October 22-23-24 and 25th. 1919, have
been changed to November 5-6-I and

1t was thought advisable to make
this change on account Of the epidcm-

covering not only Chester county. but
the entire country.

FARM BUREAU MEMBERS
TO MEET NEXT MONDAY
Review of Work Accomplished
Since Organization Last April.

Kandiyohi County Farm Bureau d.
rectors held a meeting at the Court
House last Tuesday afternoon.
Annual meeting is to be held Dec
2nd at p. M, Court House. There
will be reports of committee work &C.
cOmplished, a new program, election
of officers and an outside speaker.
You are welcome to attend this meet
ing even though not a member of the
Bureau.
Membership campaign as conducted
throughout the county and state will
be carried on in Kandiyohi County
Dec. End to 9TH. Every citizen in the
county is eligible to membership in
the Farm Bureau. All are urged to
help in this matter.
The Farm Bureau has been in oper-
last April. A brief statement Of some
of the work may be Of interest.
Fifty samples Of shelled corn and
hundred fifty bushels of ear corn
was tested for termination in the seed
corn laboratory equipped and conduct
ed by the Farm Bureau. A hundred
bushels of good seed corn was secured
from reliable sources outside Of the
county at reasonable prices. Several
farmers were saved from buying poor
seed or we're able to make adjustments
or return poor seed after having it
tested in this laboratory.
Through the Farm Bureau organiZa-
ton two hundred thirty farm hands
were secured and located. Hany Of
these we're delivered right at the farm.
Thirty-one drainage systems were
surveyed and planned, which means
turning twelve hundred acres of wet
land into general farm land. This
engineering service has saved the
farmers of the county hundreds of
dollars. The surveying alone would
amount to five hundred dollars.
Twenty-six farmers had trouble with
sick live stock. State and Federal
Veterinarians were secured through
the Farm Bureau. Cattle were tested
for tuberculosis. Hogs we're examin-
ed for Hog Cholera. Several farmers
were advised not to vaccinate where
NEGRO was found instead of Hog Cho-
lera Where contagious diseases were
found, immediate steps were taken to
prevent their spreading.
Four hundred fifty-six office calls
during the past seven months have
been made at the Farm Bureau Office
in the Court House. The Bureau has
secured steady office help and the
manager stays in the Office practically
all day each Monday. In this way the
Bureau helps in the exchange of live
stock, grain and seeds. 1t also helps
in securing information for farmers
and the Government on request. Re-
ports have been made to the Govern
ment regarding grain threshed, crops,
wood, live stock, wool, hides, disease
es, machinery, farm labor, and the
draft The services of this Office and
organization are at your service adsol-
utely free of charge or fee. Join the
Farm Bureau and help in the good
work.
