Annual Township Meeting Held.
A series of annual township Farm
Bureau meetings has just been COM
'pleted. With the uncertain weather
conditions during the past six weeks
the holding of meetings has been
almost out of the question. In spite
OF this the annual election has been
held in every township with very
good success. The attendance has
been very good in most of the town
ships, in fact, it has been splendid
in all of them when weather and go
ing are taken into account. At the
annual elections which have been
held IL of the townships reelected
the present president, in 9 others
new ones were elected. Some of the
outgoing township presidents have
served their local boards for num-
Der of years.
Others We're not in a position to
continue the good work and other
capable leaders were elected in their
places. A splendid interest has been
developing in Farm Bureau work
throughout the entire county. Some
townships are naturally taking the
lead in this progressive farmers
but in short time every
community will realize fully the inn
portance of this movement. The suc-
cess of the Farm Bureau Federation
will be determined by the
interest of the individual members
in it.. 1t can truthfully be said this
interest is of the most wholesome
hind and cnallc C,o,ass q, LII 49,.
