FARM BUREAU NOTES.
The regular meeting of the Frank
ford Farmers Club will be held at
The usual place this Saturday eve
ming, October 2, at sevcn-thirty.
A Farm Bureau member has for
sale four head Of high-grade Short
horn cows, carrying about fifteen
slXteenthS Of the desired blood. One
individual is two years old, two arc
between three and four, and one is
five.
Because of a change in arrange
ments the Asbury Club decided not
to hold its program Sept. 25th.
Word was received at this office to
that effect too late to withhold the
article announcing it. They are
now planning to give their pro-
gram Saturday, October 9th. .
The first State Club Show will
be held in Charleston October 10,
IA, and 18th. Other departures in
club work in the State have been
successful and we hope for success
IN this. The premiums offered range
from one dollar to one hundred dol
lars, there being seven prizes of one
hundred dollars each. Best exhibit
by any local club fifty dollars:
there. is chance for one of our
cubs to score. Greenbrier is proud
of its Shorthorns, and we want to
place several of our best club calves
IN this exhibit, to see how they com
pare with ,Shorthorns elsewhere.
The regular meeting date of the
Renick Farmers Club is the second
Saturday of the month. but in order
to nave with us at the October meet
ing D. r. Dodd, of the College of
Agriculture, it will be necessary to
have the meeting October eighth.
MIR. Dodd at that time will give q
demonstration consisting. of thor
ough cleaning of wheat and then
treating with formalin. II there be
any time remaining after Mr.. Dodd's
demonstration, some other import
ant topics will be considered. Meet
ing viii be held at the Farm Bureau
Headquarters at seven-thirty.
The FourH Agricultural Clubs in
and about Rupert will hold its
annual district exhibit at Rupert to-
morrow Saturday, Oct. 2d.,) At
this time placings will be ANNOUNCE
Ell and prizes awarded to those who
have successfully completed their
Club work and merit a prize. In
making the placings the following
order will be considered: profit
30 per cent; yield 80 per cent; ex-
hlblt ~ per cent, and booklet 20
per cent. Thus it may chance that
tile boy or girl having the best ex-
hIblt may not stand first in club
work, for the exhibit counts ONLY
~ per cent toward final grade,
and they may not excel in profit,
we'd, or booklet. Sometimes here
IS misunderstanding i'm this re-
gard, the one having The best ex-
hibIt expecting 10 stand first in
club work, and this is offered by
way of explanation.
The Farmers National Congress
IS a meeting of farmers and farm
workmen from all parts of the coun-
try TO discuss and generally TO pass
resolutions on all kinds of matters
IN which they. might be interested.
Inc next meeting of this BODY will
be held at Columbus. Ohio, Noyem-
Der 10th TO 10Th. As this point will
be convenient TO a considerable
number of West Virginia farmers
II is being urged that as large q
delegation as possible from each of
the West Virginia counties attend.
and that we establish a definite
headquarters in Columbus so thai
we can organize our delegation and
present q united front on matters
when they interest us. Inasmuch
as Greenbrier is one Of the largest
counties in the State, and possibly
most important agricuJturally. she
should have al least several repre-
sentatives OF this congress. There
is no better way TO keep ARREST of
the tunes than 10 attend such
gathering OF men and women who
are vitality interested in agriculture
and lis problems. and who are max
ing a united effort to overcome the
limiting factors.
