TO Organize Township Farm Bureaus
With from rs to 100 farm bureau
members in each. township, it was de
cided by the Farm Bureau directors
at a meeting held December 20th, t.
hold township elections before the cleo
ton OF the county farm bureau Off
GERS. The plan as suggested by the
unit in each township or as one mar
put 1t, township farm bureau fOl
each township.
In the township organization there
would be the usual officers, and 9
board of nine directors, one from each
school district. The township farm
bureau president would then be dir
ector to the county farm bureau. The
merits for extending the farm bureau
into such uniform branches are many
Some of the most important are:
T1nn~n 1n<, ,ln,, tfvnrv
of all farm bureau members by town
ships. a &
q. The work of the farm bureau
could be, presented to every farm bu
Eeau at the regular meeting.9, jf
8. Each township through its direct
or could present the things that. town
ship MEMBERS would like to have done
y, 1t would strengthen the farm bu
reau organization, so that the opinion
Of every farmer could be obtained In
~ hours. se Such as getting petitions
signed for or against certain bills, col
Letting marketing Information etc.
5. There could be township compete
ton on all club work. fair booths
number of purebred 4 stockmen and
other things which are for better agri-
culture and better farm homes.
! Is, At the township b meetings the
members could decide which projects
they would like carried on, such as
poultry culling, soil erosin, tractor
schools, farm managementssh short course
or any Of the. other educational pro
jects offered by the Extension De-
partment and U. s. Department OF
Agriculture.
4. Each township would elect its
own director to the farm bureau
This also provides that if the township
president could not attend the county
directors meeting, the vice-president
would have the power to attend in the
presidents place. 1t is very impor.
tant that the county directors meet,
ings are held every month. The di.
rectors decide upon the work to be tax.
zen up each month, pass on bills, and
have charge Of~all other business and
communications which pretains to the
farmers welfare.
8. The township farm bureau would
be stronger connecting link between
the county farm bureau and other
farm organizations. 1t would help
the organizations to better understand
each other. For instance, If a man
held an Office in two, different farmers
organizations and understood both,
he could judge how far one organiza.
ton should go without over tapping
the work of the other organization.
Township farm bureaus will be or
gained in the townships that want
them. 1t is q splendid system by
which the farmers may elect the guild
ing men for the farm bureau. q
