Following we reproduce minutes o,
several meetings of Sheridan Coun
ty' Farm Bureau held throughout ths
County in the past two. or thre.
weeks.
The farmers are demanding that
the Farm Bureau use their utmost in.
f1uence to bring about the retainment
Of County Agent Anderson as count,
agent of Sheridan county.
There is no reason why that An.
derson should not be retained as he
is a very efficient man and the only
difficulty is that Jud Matkins and
some Of the old loot gang don't like
him.
