The speakers include DR.. Mac
Mahon, who 10 an authority on animal
diseases. We have never heard q vet
erinarian who talks in such q
Straightforward way as DR.. Mac
Mahon. His services are usually in
such demand that it is only OCCASION
ally that we have an opportunity to
hear him.
Prof. Porter will discuss the mar
keting Of especially wool and pota-
toes. Farmers in the eastern por-
tion Of the county are vitality inter-
ested in these two topics.
Henry Krubbenhoft will appear on
the program at Oakes on Tuesday
afternoon only, in response to an in
vitation extended by special COM
mittee appointed by farmers in
Cakes. Mr.. Krubbenhoft will discuss
potato warehouses and allied topics.
The building Of a potato warehouse
at Oakes is no new idea and it will
be considered at this meeting. Do
not fail to attend all Of the meet
ings in your vicinity.
The farmers of Dickey county and
the boys and girls in club work es-
pecially, will be sorry to hear of Mr..
Mueller's resignation.
We feel proud of the record our
clubs have made and it was due in a
large measure to the fact that the
club leader was on the job and seeing
to it that things were done.
While this work up to the present
time has brought in sufficient financial
returns to the club members to pay
for the club leaders salary several
times over, it is not to be measured in
dollars and cents. If it is to be judg-

we win say that it is the most in
expensive way yet devised for train
ing our boys and girls on the farm to
do farm work.
It is not necessary to write up the
achievements Of our boys and girls
at this time, since most people are
familiar with them. Suffice it to say
that Dickey county probably ranks
first Of any Of the counties in the
state. This much is conceded by the
Agricultural college, and the records
bear Il ont. It il hoped that we will
be able to get man Immediately who
will carry on this work where it
stands ut the present time.
Mr.. Mueller will move to Oakes,
where he will be associated with J. F.
Nichols in the federal loan and in
surance business. This will be good
news to you for we are expecting him
to continue to give his moral support
to this work, especially in the east
end of the county.
There should be at least two COM
munities in this county to take advan-
tage Of the Dairy Cow bill. While
this does not become effective until
July I, there are certain require
ments that should be complied with
SO that parties or associations will
be in q position to take immediate
advantage of this proposition when
the law goes into effect on July 1.
The law specifies that no man can
receive over $1,000. This amount is
to be paid back in from five to ten
years. He must join with ten other
farmers who will be jointly. liable
up to 10 per cent over their original
purchases should one or more in the
organization fail to meet their obli-
cations. He therefore could not be
held for more than $1,100 should he
purchase cows up to the value Of
81, 900. Any farmer by two-thirds
vote Of the organization may be bar
