ASSISTANT TO
COUNTY Agent
Assistant in Farm Bureau
Work. Home Demon
strati0n Department
Discontinued.
DIRECTORS MEETING
Meeting Held Saturday and
Important Steps Decided
Upon.

An assistant county agent is to be Sc.
cured for Hamilton county to help
County Agent Chris Christensen in his
work, and the home demonstration de.
partment Of the Farm Bureau is to be
discontinued. These steps were decided
upon at the first meeting of the new
board of directors which was held here
Saturday at the city hall.
Since the Farm Bureau membership
has been increased to almost 1900
members, it is practically impossible for
the county agent alone to keep in touch
with all, and with an assistant the
work can be extended and enlarged so
that all members will receive the bene-
fits.
The assistant will probably come
from the Iowa State college at Ames,
and will take up the work here as
soon as all arrangements can be made
probably about April 1.
Home Demonstration Work.
With the discOntinuance Of the home
demonstration department, which has
been under the direction Of Miss Ethel
Guthrie, all special work in this line
will he conducted by specialists from
lHN ,sOiNSN NN <AAASSs ohN tuN SA"hAh6
clubs will he organized by the county
agent and his assistant. The board
deemed it advisable to make this
change as they did not feel that there
has been enough home demonstration
work in the county to warrant separ-
ate department.
Only three Ndirectors We're absent
from the meeting Saturday. The last
years officers were reelected:
President, William Oakland; vice
president, G. ]. Knickerbocker secre-
tary, Il. A. Bonner; treasurer, H. o.
Cutler.
Plans were completed for holding the
township meetings throughout the c0un-
fy beginning Feb. Is, for the purpose
of organizing branches Of the Farm
Bureau and thus localizing the work.
]. E. SOgard from the Iowa State col
lege will be in the county at that time
to assist with the work.

Chicago, Feb. Corn: The effect of
the priority order was such as to cause
extreme decentralization in the cash
market, limiting buyers requirements
and causing sellers to accept sacrifice
prices. A number Of messages here from
the country stated THAT on account Of
the decline in prices, country elevators
were not disposed to load out their
holdings and in some cases refused
cars. In other instances, roads are be-
coming impossible so that fresh deliv-
cries from farmers are out of the ques-
ton. At the low point of totlay's mar
ket. the May delivery showed a decline
OF nearly 13c a bushel from the high
point of January 30. This is pretty
bad streak even il prices are to go low
er later.
Butter, Eggs and Poultry.
The fall III the rate OF exchange
has materially affected the market on
food stuffs and conditions are rather
unsettled on produce products.
Butter: While receipts are not as
heavy as a year ago. indicating a light
er production, there is large reserve
stock IN storage, as shown by the
figures Of stocks in Chicago, New York,
Boston and Philadelphia on Feb. f.
comparison is as follows:.
Feb. 4, ,651 pounds
Feb. 4, 400, 146 pounds
Excess ----- 1861 sos pounds
1t is understood part of this excess
Is owned by foreign governments, and
1t is possible they will sell part of
their butter in this country. Regular
shipments are being made from Den
mark and Argentine, the rate of ex-
change being favorable to foreign own
erS.
Butter received from Denmark so
far is Of very fine quality and is being
diverted to the United States on ac-
count Of the depreciation of the Ger
man mark and limit on the selling
price in England. The United States
markets are slightly lower, although
this situation has not yet affected
country prices.
Eggs: Receipts are increasing slow
~ but were slightly in excess of re-
quirements and there has been
moderate decline in prices during the
week. This is seasonable condition
and further decline may he looked for
as receipts become heavier.
Poultry: The high prices prevailing
are curtailing consumption and there
Is generally an easier feeling in the
larger markets. II this condition con-
tinues. some changes in market prices
will probably result.
