FARM BUREAU MAKES IMPORT.
ANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Recently concern has come into ex
istence known as the "Federal Farm
Bureau" with several branch offices
throughout the country, one Of which il
located in the city of St. Paul.
The executive committee Of the Nor
rison County Farm Bureau wishes tc
announce this concern has no connec
tion whatever with the County Farm
Bureau movement either in Morrison
county or elsewhere. /
The County Farm Bureau movement
is organized to cooperate with state anG
government in conducting food produc
tion campaigns and in promoting per
manent Improvement of agriculture
and farm home life. q,
AS near as can be learned the prin
cipal business of the "Federal Farm
Bureau is to sell so-called Farm Ac
counting System being quoted at $500
It is well to state that certain testi
monials have been secured by this. con
Germ from government officials advo
eating farm accounting, particularly in
connection with income tax reporting
by which it appears the concern may be
attempting to represent to farmers that
its system had been especially Endorsed
by the Federal Government.
The Farm Bureau Executive commit
tee does not want to be understood to
desire to do any injury to the concern
issuing this account book OF to discour-
age anyone from keeping farm accounts
It simply desires to make it clear that
it has no relationship with the concern.
It is we'll to state that a simple and
practical farm account book was recent
" prepared by the Agricultural Exten-
sion Division, University Farm, st.
Paul, Minnesota, and distributed at q
cost Of ten cents each. Many Of the
bankers of the state have been coop.
Grating in distributing these books.
More information may be obtained con
cerning such at the Farm Bureau head
quarters.

AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL OPENS IN
OCTOBER

The School Of Agriculture at Univer-
sity Farm, st. Paul, will open this
year on the last Monday in October.
An impression which has become gener-
al that the school was to be closed this
year in order to allow the plant to be
used as training camp for army ma
chanics is incorrect. An army mechan-
les training school has been maintained
at University Farm and will be contin-
ned through the winter, but special bar
racks and other buildings are being
erected for it's men.
The need for the School Of Agricul-
ture was never greater, in the opinion
of the educators Of the state, than it
is in the present war crisis.
