FARM BUREAU
TO REORCANlzE
Local Organization For.
mulating Plans For
Expansion.

The Bingham County Farm bur-
eau thru its executive board and
county agenss.are- fermalatingsplan
for The expansion Of the present or
ganEation on basis which will en-
able 1t to deal in business way
witt the farmers products.
The present organization has been
operating in the county for the past
three years laying emphasis on the
educational side Of farm work With
special reference to the growing of
crops and increased production and
the farmers OF the county now feel
that unless they can have an organi-
zation that can handle their prob
lens in a constructive rather than
a superficial manner the Farm Bu-
reau has outlived its usefulness.
The farmers Of Bingham county
along with other counties in the
state have centralized their work on
production and the Farm Bureau has
been a strong factor in aiding them
In increasing their production but
no constructive steps have been TAX
en- to help the farmer market his
product in a satisfactory manner.
The present conditions of the mar
ket bearing on all Of the farmers
products have brought him to realize
the necessity of an organization that
can handle his product in q coop
erative manner. They feel that, the
farmer is entitled to the cost Of pro-
duction plus reasonable profit Just
the same as any other business with
like capital invested.
Every county in the widdlewestern
states are, organized for real busi-
ness in their farm bureau organiza-
tions and market co-operatively
their crops as we'll as livestock.
These counties with their state or
ganization have direct 'saffiliatioh
with the American Farm Bureau
federation and Bingham county will
soon be on the same plane with like
organizations IN the middlewest.
Watch this paper for further in
formation on the Bingham county
FSrm Bureau plans and the work of
the American Farm Bureau fedora

''Other players may come in II they
choose" Judge Mcdonald said, "Bnt
they must waive immunity and be
prosecuted the same as the others
The men who testified expressly
waived immunity. There has been
absolutely no immunity offered but
