Thru the executive and the board
of directors, who are elected annually
from the members, the Farm Bureau
directs the agricultural development
of the county which is carried on with
the cooperation of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture and the State
College of Agriculture and Extension
Department. ~
This cooperation is facilitated thru
the medium of a county agricultural
agent and home demonstration agent
whose duties are: to demonstrate es-
tablished agricultural and home eco
nomic facts that are of value to the
community but are not yet generally
practiced; to make available to the
people of the county the results of ag-
ricultural experiments and assist in
determining the application of these
principles to local conditions; to as
sist in the establishment of the most
profitable systems Of farm manage
ment; to develop community ideals
and help in organization such as will
make rural life and the business of
farming more attractive and profit
able.
A Farm Bureau News is published
monthly and sent to the members. The
subject matter of the paper is large
ly devoted to the activities Of the Bu-
reau and current topics that are of
interest to the farmer and which does
not enter into the field of agricultural
Farm Journals and local papers. An
exchange list is conducted and such
advertising as does not appear in the
local press is carried. This keeps the
members in touch with each other in
the matter of what they have to sell
or want to buy.
The work of the Farm Bureau, as
recognized by the U. S. government
has become nationwide project and
has long since been recognized as an
Organization which will develop oul
agricultural methods to the highest
standards. There are now 230O Farm
Bureaus in the United States that
employ agricultural county agents
representing more than eighty pei
cent of the agriculture.
| Ward county has we'll established
and well organized farm bureau thai

the disposal of the Ward county farm
ers and whose work is limited to tn,
extent that the farmers will cooper

culture and the State College Of Agri
