The Farm Bureau
FARM BUREAU NOTES
by w. G. Eckard
God IL L. h Drnnn.nL

During the Spring of 1918 and
again during the Fall, this office from
time TO time got out on the mimeo-
graph list of seeds for sale by far
mers Of the county. This list of seeds
was of value TO both the man who had
seed to sell, and to the man who had
TO buy seed, and especially was this
true last Spring when seed corn was
so scarce. We expect to follow the
same plan as was used last spring
and list free all kinds Of seeds for
sale in the county.
1t is not bit too early for the far
mer who does not have seed of any
kind TO look up a supply. Any far
mer who has seed of any kind can
have it put on the Farm Bureau seed
list by sending us the following in
COMMUNICATIONS, address, township,
section number, kind of seed, amount
and price. Each farmer listing must
agree to notify this office by phone
or mail as soon as his seed is sold.
Any farmer who needs seed of any
kind is welcome to our services TO
help him locate it by calling on US.
Farmers Week at VI. 4. c.
From February Bird TO February
It'll, will be known as Farmers
week at the Michigan Agricultural
College and the whole campus and
buildings will be thrown open to the
farmers of the state. A series of lee
lures, exhibitions, entertainments and
demonstrations adapted to the needs
of farmers and housewives has been
arranged for and will be we'll worth
the time and expense of attending.
A large number of farmers organ
izations will meet on the campus dur
ing the week, such as the annual con-
ference of the Michigan Improved
Livestock Breeders and Feeders
Association, the Michigan Crops I'm
provement Association, the Michigan
Association of Muck Farmers, the
Michigan Drain Commission Associa-
ton, the Association of County School
Commissioners, the officers and men,
bers of Farm Bureaus, the Boys and
Girls club leaders.
Van Buren, county is one of the best
and most progressive counties in the
state and her farmers will do well
to turn out to Farmers Week in
large numbers.

THE KEEPER OF THE MARSH.

On April first the marsh hung out
its green-tinted want ad for summer
boarders. On November first, the
muskrat, drab caretaker of this de-
serted summer resort, shuffling about
among the bleached rubbish of the
summers revelry, picks up few usa-
Bile fragments and stores them against
the pinching days of winter.
The muskrat's house is built with
such nice judgment as to location shore
and open lake, as to adjustment be-
tween high and low water and thinness
and thickness of thatch, that old
marsh neighbors agree the builder can
foretell with exastness the coming win
ter weather. The higher the house the
harder the winter. Why do we mortals
persist in ascribing such prophetic vi
sion to some of the muddiest of crea-
lures?
If the muskrat builds according to
the coming weather, he must have long
advance information. Some day in

THE COMMUNITY'S DEBT TO THE
SCHOOLS.

Fifty, perhaps 25 years ago, pc
pie were discussing the debt which the
school oweduto the community. 1t was
not an uncommon thing for brag-
ging taxpayer to boast of the fact
that the teachers of the schools were
indebted to him for their daily bread
to make even teachers feel that they
were paid their wages mainly through
the charity of the community in which
they taught. The schools in the
small towns and villages were rude
structures with no conveniences. The
people would have considered it
sinful waste of money to put in modern
improvements such as scientific labor
atories, gymnasiums and special voca-
tional courses. Even in the cities when
these things were granted it was usu-
ally with the air of humoring few
| foolish dreamers.
, But how these ideas have changedin
the past few years! A good school is
a live wire in any community. They
have a greater connection with the
outside world than almost any other
unit in the community and their spir-
| it is more widely felt If that spirit
| is boosting spirit the results are
surprising. After graduation the stu
dents go their various ways-some to
college or professional schools-some
[ to farm or otherwise make their liv-
ing in other communities. If they go
with a spirit to boost their home town
what tremendous advantage it is for
that town. Think of the people they
will meet who are perhaps looking for
| just such town. And the teachers
what of them? They are constantly
changing their position and if
have treated them as you should and
they see that your town is live and
! growing thing they are not going to
keep still about it when they go to
another community to teach. Neither
will they keep still if the opposite
condition is true.
This is only one of the advantages
of good schools-and we might say
minor one. Think OF the good citizens
your school gives you. Think how it
builds up your peoples civic pride
how it teaches them right thinking and
right living that we can ever hope to
/ achieve success for ourselves or for
| our town or for sour country. Don't
! grow "hard-shelled" toward the bless
ings of good school in your com
/ munity for they are many and varied.
