- ------------------------ -
county Farm Bureau is live or
ganization and that the farmers
IN most parts of the county
few exceptions-are making use
OF their organization and mana
ger for the improvement and de-
velopment of agricultural mar
keting and production.
The approach of the peace set
tlement is finding Pine County
farmers making ready for the
reconstruction problems. 1t is
just dawning upon the minds of
many that we cannot fall back
into the old rut, for if we do, we
are lost. We have new and
changed conditions to meet in
the way of keener competition
and cost of labor and materials:
our former methods of produc-
tion and marketing will not fit.
The cost of labor and paterial
will probably never go back to
pre-war levels and the man who
just feeds wild hay, plants any
kind of seed potatoes without
seed plot andwho markets what
ever he has with no regard for
good grading, quality and com
munity reputation. is playing a
losing game both for himself and
for his community.
We have reached the time
when it is up to us to grow what
the other fellcw W ants ard put
it up as he wants it il we are to
expect highest prices. We have
passed the time when we can SAY
anything l raise is good enough
and they can take it or let it
alone
Realizing that something
should be done, Brook Park
asked the Farm Bureau to help
with series of meetings on the
potato and livestock problems.
Several were held and resulted
in getting 900 bushels of seed
ordered through the Farm Bu-
reau from reliable farmers. This
will go out in 5, 10, Is, and 20
bushel lots for seed plots. This
year is the last for the market
Ling of mixed varieties from this
place. They are going to grow
one or two standard varieties to
ship in car lots, and no doubt, in
time, by train loads. Anyway
they are looking after their rep
utation. which is the first step
in building up better markets.
Six or eight other communities
have called on the Farm Bureau
for assistance lin this potato
work and one peculiar fact is,
that with the exception of VIII
low River and Sturgeon Lake,
they have all been on the Great
Northern railroad. Rutledge
and Finlayson, however, are to
have meetings very soon. But
in looking over the county map
one readily sees that where the
Farm Bureau membership is.
strongest, there the interest in
agricultural improvement is
greatest and most active. This
does not. however, signify where
the greatest need for improve
ment is. For. instance, in the
southern part of the county
where they can raise siIaee or
roots or both for juicy succu-
lence in the ration, it is easy to
find large number of farmers
using dry feeds and no. few Of
| them, wild hay alone. In one of
/! the best southern townships,
whole communities are practi-
caliy without supply of succu-
lent feed. This condition does
not give maximum returns per
dollar investment in the live
stock feeds they are using.
We find all over the county.
with the exception Of one north.
