COUNTY FARM BUREAUS
PROMOTE BIG PROJECTS
Morris Tells of Cooperative Market
ing of Wool at County Agents
Conference Here

That the Farm Bureaus of West
Central Minnesota are exerting
marked influence on the development
of the agriculture Of the region was
evident at conference of half doZ-
en- county agents in session at Nor
ris last Thursday. The county agents
and the counties represented were
c. M. Kelehan, Otter Tail; L. S.
Stallings, Wilkin; A. P. Henderson,
Pope; T. G. Stitts, Meeker; H. s..
Irwin, Swift; c. w. Nash, Stevens.
Included in the program of work
of these counties for the year are pro-
jects as follows: Grain improvement
particularly, three smut control dem
Onstrations, increased forage produc-
ton including the clovers and al
falfa; livestock improvement through
better breeding, feeding and prom
otion of animal health; farm account
ing and supplying farm labor; boys
and girls club work; and community
and cooperative organization and
marketing.
w. E. Morris, assistant county
agent leader for West Central and
Northwestern Minnesota, presided at
the conference and outlined with the
agents methods for cooperative mar
keting of wool and the national pure
bred sire campaign being provided by
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
in cooperation with the agricultural
college and farm bureaus.
Considering an. exceedingly severe
winter season making travel in the
country very difficult the farm bureau
membership campaigns have made
good progress. In every county it is
the plan to soon cover the remain
ing territory where the canvass for
farm members was not made.
An interesting report brought out
at the conference was to the effect
that the feeling is growing in Grant
county to revive the farm bureau
work which has not been in opera
tion the past year. The progress of
the farm bureaus particularly in the
fields of livestock improvement and
the perfection of state and national
federation of farm bureaus has ex-
cited their interest to be again af-
hliated with the movement.
F. E. Balmer, county agent lead
er for Minnesota conducted a
school for the agents in acquaint-
ing them with a new and simplified
reporting system. The plan, Mr..
Balmer declares, is certain to result
in the farming public, farm bureau
members and county commissioners
being kept better informed as to the
progress of work and therefore better
prepared to participate in the bene-
fits available.
An important element of the
scheme is a follow-up system by
which plans of work started will be
automatically brought to the atten-
tion of county agents and farm
bureau officials and therefore more
likely carried to successful conclu-
sion.

born from February 10 to March 10.
If born that early, it will be old
enough to wean before the contest
begins and will make larger daily
gains.
For the acre corn contest, the best
ears of corn for seed should be chosen
early and properly stored. The
ground should be chosen soon and
we'll manured.
At least four boys are following
these suggestions in preparation for
the baby beef contest. 1t is hoped to
extend the work to other communi-
ties of the county this year, and al
ready three additional townships are
making plans to take of this work.
At the Teachers Institute and at the
School Directors meeting held last
month the subject of Boys and Girls
Club work was discussed by Mr..
Giberson and Mr.. Nash.
In addition to it's direct practical
value, club work is also of value to
the contestant by developing in him
the habit of doing his very best work
! in everything he undertakes. In
speaking of the Industrial Contest
for the boys and girls of the county
this year, Ray Roberts, county sup
I intendent of schools enlarges upon
this point in statement which might
well be applied to all Boys and Girls
Club work.

the mere fact that one may get a

something about growing corn. 1t
he tries to live up to his reputation
and to produce the best corn each
year, he will continue to learn, and
as result every acre of corn he
raises will yield more and better corn
than it would if he not tried to win

they get their calves as soon as suit
