Annual Farm Bureau Meeting

On March 10th at 200 P. NJ. in
the Association of Commerce rooms
in Minot, the annual Farm Bureau
meeting will be held. This meeting
was postponed from Feb. 18th because
Of the influenza epidemic.
Mr.. H. B. Fuller, State County
Agent Leader will be present and talk
on the Farm Bureau organization. Mr..
Fuller spent several years in Wash
ington with the department Of agri-
culture in connection with Farm Bur
eau work.
It is the duty Of every Farm Bureau
member to attend the annual meeting
and take an active part in the election
of officers and the discussion of the
projects to be taken up by the Farm
Bureau this year.
Ward County Farm Bureau has a
membership of approximately 1926 and
this should he increased to 1000 this
year. In the State Of Illinois nirety
percent of the farmers are members
Of County Farm Bureaus and Mime
sofa has a Farm Bureau in almost
every county. County Farm Bureaus
are being organized into State FEEDER
atoms and State Federations have
been organized into National, Fedora
tions. It is the largest agricultural
improvement ever attempted. It is
backed by the agricultural college Of
the nation and the U. S. Department
of Agriculture. One of the main OBJ
jects of the organization is to secure
national cooperation in placing agri-
culture on a better business basis by
marketing conditions and
insuring the farmer a reasonable
profit above cost of production.

Prairie chickens are probably the
most important of the bird life Of North
Dakota. Birds are the best friend Of
the farmer, they eat many times their
weight in insects each year. Were It
not for birds. human life would not be
possible on earth. They destroy more
insects than all, other agencies combin-
ed.
Stewart Lockwood of the North Da-
kota Agricultural College suggests that
during the winter it Is good plan to
feed the prairie chickens. One way Of
doing this is to keep a place free from
snow and on this scatter table crumbs,
screenings or grain every day. If there
are no cats or dogs on the farm the
chickens will come closer to the house
than otherwise Feeding the prairie
chickens in this way will also make
them more apt to stay on that particu-
lar farm than If they are allowed to
shift entirely for themselves.

Washingt ION. Republ ican leaders Of
the Senate joined forces with the.
Democrats to bring the Peace Treaty
back into open Senate at the begin:
ming Of next week.
Countering the Democratic plan to
reopen the debate February l9,
Senator Lodge, Massachus etts. serv-5
ed notice that he would make simil-
ar effort February 9. The earlier
date promptly was accepted by the
Democrats and in many quarters It
was predicted that consideration Of
the treaty would be resumed then by
unanimous consent.
8 It was emphasized on all sides, how
ever, that the agreement to again put
the treaty formally before the Senate
did not mean leaders were optimistic
over prospects Of its final disposit Jon.
1t was predicted that some Of the
minor points at issue, threshed gut in
private and informal negotiations Of
the last two weeks, might saln be
agreed on by the Senate itself but
senators were not SO hopeful In re-
gard to the disagr eement over Article
10 and the Monroe Doctrine.
AS soon as q resumpti lion OF open dis
cussion seemed assured, lead Of the
two parties put their heads toge ther
to work out some method Of keeping
the debate within reasonable bounds.
Revival Of the cloture rule, which ap,
piled during the closing hours Of the
last session, was suggested, but many
senators thought it too drastic and it
was generally predicted that ssome 9th
er method would be found.

broke out ahead Of time on the floor.
