WITH THE FARM BUREAU MEM

The Farm Bureau has received sew
Eeral very interesting letters from CO.
operators and members during the
Epast week. One typical letter was
freceived from L. Baskerville OF Earl
gille, which shows greater apprec-
ation of Farm Bureau Work.
Dear Sir: answer to your let
81 will say that have about forty
pple trees and would like to have
hem sprayed. Would be very glad
b pay for spraying the trees. We
Fould also be glad to have the chick
ms culled and will try and have the
heighbors out to see the work II you
Ian notify us about the time Of the
demonstration. / am also going to-
nse some soy beans and will see some
fof the neighbors and find out what
Ethey want Will let you know how
many we need"
The number Of requests to the Farm
Bureau indicate already that there are
over fifty-four farmers who have re-
quested soy bean seed. Some are
going to raise them for silage purpos-
! les. some with corn for hogging down,
land some for seed. Twelve requests
have come for orchard demonstrations
land forty-one for poultry culling. By
the time these reports 'are received
from various co-operators and Farm
bureau members these figures will
Eno doubt be doubled. Those who are
interested in taking advantage Of the
work OF the Farm Bureau should get
IN early as they will be taken care Of
4 In the order in which they are re-
ceived at the office Any inquiries
which many farmers wish to make re-
Egarding these lines o fwork should be
Esent to the County Agents office. We
bare always glad to explain in detail
! the different projects.
A correspondent OF Honey Creek
writes, "I would be glad to have a
poultry demonstration given at my
place, three miles south east Of Edge
wood, at your earliest convenience. I
do not know of any Of my neighbors
/ who would want their fl0cks culled.
VIII arrange to have my neighbors
here at the time OF the demonstration.
i have run to keep the culled birds
separate and always keep record Of
eggs so am prepared for the job at
any time. Will meet the demonstration
at either Greeley or Edgewood and
take care Of him until he goes to the
next place. Also have small orchard
that intend to prune II you can give
me any expert help. Also, others are
interested in pruning their orchards
and thought 1t would be possible to
give both demonstrations the same
day. Would like to try some soy
beans for hogging down. My next
door neighbor is talking about plant
ing some with, corn for silage."

The train was moving but after his
fall, M. Deschanel walked mile and
a quarter in the darkness until he met
a track worker. The workman accom-
panied the president to signal sta

the track in the darkness, the train
going on.
