If there is any doubt in any
farmers mind as to the value of
Soy Beans as hog feed or land
builder, it will pay you to visit
the farms of Mr.. Silas Jones, Mr..
Wick Jones, near Pickett, or Mr..
Joe Wynn's near Brandon. Talk
to these men as to the quantity
of beans you can grow along with
your corn, and ask whether the
beans reduce the corn yield or
not. Also ask how the hogs are
coming in the bean field.

OF cooperation was brought to light
in a joint meeting of the Berkeley

placed their bids before the 20 or

County Bureau will benefit. at the
same time, by better price for both
than could have been secured alone
Delegates were appointed to rep
resent the Berkeley County Farm
Bureau during Farmers Week and
the County Agent was authorized to
attend the sessions during the same
period.
Shortly before adjournment a
suggestion was made dealing with
the matter of membership dues,
which undoubtedly is worthy OF fur
Their consideration The suggestion
was to the effect that it might be
a good plan to include in the new
membership fee a subscription to
one Of the standard farm magazines
such as the Country Gentleman,
National Stockman and Farmers,
American Agriculturist, Hoard's
Dairyman, The Rural New Yorker.
the Farm Journal, The Pennsylvania
Farmer, etc. This proposition will
probably be discussed again at Nor
gantown this week. In case it
should prevail. membership fees
would be advanced to $500 or more
still rather insignificant as compar-
ed with the $40 fees Of Farm Blu
reau members in Illinois, and the
much higher fee paid by miners
and steel workers in order to be
