Those farmers who are in need Of
help should make their wants known
to these men who will in turn be
able to give information as to how
help may be secured. These men will
also be in position to help the Gov.
eminent in it's effort to meet the
the demands of the farmers for hired
help. 1t is suggested that farmers
who want help should make their
wants known as early as possible and
that they give as definite information
as possible. regarding kind of help
wanted, length Of time, conditions and
wages.
The matter of Office and head-quart.
ers for the Farm Bureau Association
was also taken up by the Board of
Directors and it was decided to equip
an Office in the court house for the
manager or agent of the Bureau.
This will be furnished in the near future
and the agent and officers may be
reached through this Office at the
court house.
1t was also decided that for prompt
action on some matters coming up and
to save the calling Of the whole Board
