Farm Bureau has announced that he
will call a meeting Of wheat farmers

We have all OF us tried the old plan
Just one year too often. There is no
question but we must have change
The National Farm Bureau will report
a marketing plan. upon which 1t has
spent good many thousand dollars
and several months hard study, the first
OF January Probably this will be
adopted. The Washington and Idaho
Wheat Plan will come up for consider
alton. There is also modification of
the washingto Idaho plan, which has
been made and some believe that 1t will
meet oregon's conditions. This will
also be given consideration.

amount OF wheat, as matter OF TACT
IL ranks third among the counties In the
state OF oregon. Morrow county must
be represented at this meeting Meet
mgs will be held at lone. Lexington,
Morgan and Heppner to elect delegates
to this meeting. We should have the
mos, level-headed farmers that you are
able to select, We are going to expect
these men to bring back plans which
they think will be workable for Nor
row county. The Morrow County Farm
lurcau expects to undertake TO see
that this is put into execution. For
this purpose We are going to require
considerable funds II will cost money
to send these delegates to Portland
These expenses must be met When
these men com back with their plans
meetings will be called at which they
will be discussed and get the farmers
view point How ever, in order to make
any OF these plans workable the very
largest possible number must sign up

pect to not only talk the matter over
but see that organizers go over the
county and interview every farmer, II
you have some better way OF putting
this thing across we will be glad to
hear from II but this Is the way the
thing has been done in the past and we

son we want every wheat farmer In the
county to be member OF the FARM
BUREAU We believe that this Is your
business, We believe that you have the
interest Of the farmers at heart and
that the way to put across program is
for the farmers themselves to show that
