Potlatch Ridge Organizes

The Leland, Lenore and Southwlck
communities are entering into the
farm bureau work this fall with a
great deal of interest and enthus-
iasm. Committeeman were elected
at meeting held some time ago to
take charge of their respective pro-
jects, such as Livestock Improve
ment, Crops and Rotations, etc.
The farmers themselves declded
upon the projects that would best
serve the needs of their community.
Central committees for the whole
county, known as the executive COM
mittee, which is composed Of county
leaders for the different projects,
and Waldo w. Skuse, county agent,
assist the community project lead
ers in putting across the program,
IN their respective communities.
The general membership in each
community also assist their commit
teemen. Bringing the farm bureau
work into close relationship with
the farmers themselves and letting
them take the responsibility of
carrying out the ideas embodied IN
the various projects, has proven
very successful in many localities
where experimental work has been
done. The nearer the work is
brought to man the more likely
he is to adopt it.
The regular yearly membership
campaign is being carried out under
the leadership of the chairman of
the respective communities and at
the annual meeting at Lewiston,
November 6, the campaign closes
and the membership for each COM
munity will be reported.
The farmers Of Potlatch ridge are
very progressive. They have adopt
ed the farm bureau plans at their
meetings this fall and will no doubt
receive some splendid results from
the effort which they put into it.
