his organization OF farmers, by
la meIs and for farmers. is educa
tional in character and conflicts with
no other farmers organization, nor
does it seek to supplant any organ
ization, whether the same be social,
economic, political or whatnot. A
farmer can belong to the Grange or
to the Union, which are economic and
social. or to the Non Partisan League
which is political organization, and
still find it necessary to become d
member of the Farm Bureau, If he
wishes to keep his fingers on the
pulse of agricultural development
Membership in any other organiza-
tion is no bar to his membership in
the Farm Bureau, neither does the
Farm Bureau take the place of other
OF ganizations for farmers whose in
clinations are toward a more inten-
sive study of economic problems, or
who desire the social features of the
Grange or the Union, or who wish
to accomplish certain objects polit-
ically.
Then the farmer asks, what are the
particular things which the Farm
Bureau does that make membership
in it essential? The answer is that
the Farm Bureau takes up problems
that are local to it's members. 1t be-
gins with the community project Or
ganiZation; the voluntary grouping
OF farmers who have common prob
lem to solve. 1t may be the eradi-
cation of prairie dogs; fight on the
srasshoppers: combating the web
worm; the need of purebred sires; a
demand for cooperative livestock
shipping; or cooperative fruit ano
truck shipping; an exchange of labor
or machinery at silo filling time. the
building OF more silos; feedine

standardization of varieties OF grains.

better marketing facilities; cream
grading; the application of irrigation
water to crops; some method OF sol
handling for dry land crops, such a

things, the problem depending upon
the locality and the farmers them
selves being the judges of what
should be taken up by any community
group for their own improvement.
The community group leads to the
general county organization, the plan
of work being decided on usually at
an annual meeting of all farmers in

methods and making the returns
from farming surer.

the county agent to this outline of

the farmers proceed without his aid

COUNTY AGENT AND HIS
IDENTITY WITH THE BUREAU

ing Comfort and Prosperity.

The following article is taken
from Western Farm Life. published
at Denver and is by the managing
editor OF that splendid paper, Arthur
r. Stencil The article appeared In
Western Farm Life of June 18th un-
der the caption, What Is the Farm
Bureau Wortn?"
(By Arthur +. SteineD
We received letter from farmer
recently objecting to an article in
which county agent work was given
favorable mention. This farmer said
il was unfair to credit county agents
with bringing silos, purebred live
stock and better schools into coun-
ty. As this was the first letter of
the kind ever received by the editor,
it is worthy of attention and com
ment. The farmer who wrote it is
honest in his opinion, but he has not
had the opportunity for Investigation
that has come TO the writer OF these
fines.
In any discussion of county agent
work, let it be understood that per-
sonalities are not being considered.
We are thinking of the work, not of
the particular person who is paid for
it. Even county agents, the best OF
them, are not perfect They average
up just like farmers: some are good,
some are only medium and some are
poor The best men survive and hold
the confidence of the farmers, just
as the best farmers succeed at their
business. That question is beside the
point; we are dealing with the ad
,antages of the work and presuming
that it is in the hands of a man who
has the necessary training and quail
ifi.ations.
Originally county agent work was
one-man proposition, but under
present conditions 1t has developed

And Why They Are Exceptions

Worn Miller Tires are often exhibited with
some sign like above.
Countless letters also reach us telling such
mileage tales.
These are very pleasing. But we don't
want users in general to expect miracles from
Millers.
The Holly chieftain., 1920-07-01
What Our Tests Show

We run tires at our factory ten million
miles year to make these service tests.
These are radical tests. Tires are run con-
stantly, night and day, and under heavy load
We want quick comparisons.
On our testing machines Miller Cords
average $4,000 miles, and Fabrics about
half that.
But these are not mileage records. We
are running Miller Tires

Service to Expect

from any like-type tire And 10 times in 20
YOU will get it.
The Holly chieftain., 1920-07-01

Expect it to outserve

and it almost invariably
will. Expect twice the
mileage tires gave a few
years ago, and they will
doubtless do still better.
Expect tread wear rs
per cent better than from
others and you'll not be
disappointed.
But don't expect that

exceptional mileage.
The Holly chieftain., 1920-07-01
Why Mileage Varies

"A Cord Tire gives vastly greater
service than Fabric Tire.
An oversize tire will vastly excel
a tire that is undersize. Care, load
and roads affect tire service greatly.
Millers are uniform tires. That is
a major reason for their supremacy.
But uniform tires will vary with
conditions.

G. O.P. STATE CHAIRMAN
WINS PARTY PROMOTION
]. II. Roraback Choice Of Connect.
cut for National Committee.
Lowden in Lead.

HARTFORD, Conn, March 27 tSpe-
ciaD.-The election of ]. Henry Rora-
back of Canaan. chairman of the re-
publican state central committee. to
succeed John T. King of Bridgeport
as Connecticut member of the repub-
lican national committee is virtually
assured In view of the personnel OF
the delegation to the, Chicago conven-
tion selected by the state convention
Thursday. 1t is understood that the
delegation stands 13 to 1 for Rora-
back. the single exception being King
himself, who was unable to secure
election as delegate at large, but be-
came the choice of his own congress
sional district-the fourth-for dis
trict delegate. On account of the
tense feeling between King and Rora-
back. 1t is believed that King will not
attend a meeting of the delegation to
be held in a few weeks for the purpose
of naming the national committee
man.
Although a complete poll of the na-
tional convention delegation is i'm
possible. owing to the refusal of sew
eral of the members Openly to COM
nit themselves, there is no doubt that
the majority are for Gov. Frank o.
Lowden of Illinois for President. 1t
is said the Illinois man has at least
ten votes of the fourteen, that two
lean toward Harding. one toward SEN
ator Hiram Johnson, while the other
is independent. John T. King is un-
derstood to be for Johnson. He has
pointed out that a poll of employees of
Bridgeport factories has shown the
California candidate to be in the lead.
