TOWNSHIP MEETINGS

1V"NSl1A1 IuLE A1NVC
Township organization work has
been completed in Howard county
with splendid results. At most of the
meetings large crowds turned out to
hear Peder Petersen OF Black Hawk
county.
One result of these meetings was
that the County Agent was immedi-
ately bombarded with requests for
Information and blanks on the Fed
eral Test for Tuberculosis, on prun-
ing and spraying orchards, soil test
ing, etc. That is just along the line
that Mr.. Petersen suggested when he
said Keep the County Agent busy;
don't let him get fat"
Another important result of the
meetings is that the vote on the No
Ian Land Tax Bill showed that the
farmers of Howard county are decid-
eddy opposed to any bill that puts a
special additional tax on farm land.
The State and National Federations
Of Farm Bureaus will do all that they
can to stop the passage of this bill
and it is quite certain that they will
succeed although there is still some
danger of the bill going through.
