Cumberland County Farms
Viewed in Auto Tour

Farmers of Cumberland county
took a day off yesterday and looked
over the broad fields of their neigh
bors and throughout the county. A
total of 500 in 100 automobiles
made a trip through Cumberland
county. They found bumper crops
in many places, good crops every
where, and convincing evidence that
the farmers of Cumberland county
are doing their share in the move
ment to reduce the high cost of liv-
ing.
Every detail in farming was in
quired into and interesting data was
secured that according to a general
opinion, will help in future results.
One thing brought out was the
growth of the farm bureau idea and
the large amount of good resulting
to the farmer. On the first tour
three years ago 100 farmers par
ticipated. Last year 800 made the
trip and yesterday 500. II. G. Mes
