tural production. He at once made
plans for extending the County Agent
work to all agricultural counties not
having agents at that time and made
plans for organizing, the agricultural
production of the country not only
that the agricultural producers might
better cooperate with the Agricultural
Colleges and the u S. Dept. of Agrl-
culture, but also that through organi-
cation agricultural production might
be made more efficient. In accord
ance with the national war demand
the farm people Of Sheridan County
answered the Patriotic Food PRODUCE
ton Farm Bureau call by organizing

bership of any county in Montana. AS

proves of your work of organizing
the farmers of your county to COOP
crate with the County Agents, in ad-
vancing the best interest of the Ma
ton at this critical period. Best re-
suits can be secured by united action
and the. development of program Of
work through the farmers. This
movement deserves the support Of
every patriotic farmer. Signed

Farm Bureaus have now been or
ganized in % counties of Montana
with membership of over 5000 farm
men and women. The Extension Ser

Commissioners through which the

sibility of American farmers to feed

but the millions in devastated Eur

riculture Houston recently made the
following statement:
"This department, the agricultural
colleges, and other organizations will
continue to give definite thought to

One is that for a considerable
