BUTLER COUNTY Is
CONDUCTING DRIVE
FOR FARM BUREAU

Greenvi1le, November 1s.-(Spe-
cial Railing in line with many
other counties in Alabama. and to-
tai of about 1000 in the entire United
s<stes, the farmers and business men
OF Butler county are now conduct
ing the initial campaign toward the
organization of a farm bureau.
Complying with the requests from
the farmers themselves, County
Agent H. c. Heath has been conduct
ing two and three local meetings in
different parts of the county each
day this week, and on Saturday
morning a general roundup meet
Ing will be held at the courthouse
here when it is thought that the ten
tative organization will be formed
and the permanent farm bureau be-
come reality soon thereafter.
For several weeks the farm bureau
sentiment has been developing in this
county, and about 10 days ago 1t was
greatly accelerated by an address be-
fore the Kiwanis club by r. c. Bishop
of the extension service, with head
quarters at Auburn. M. H. Pearson
and W. D. Barton have assisted Mr..
Heath In his meetings this week
Emphasizing the need for a farm
bureau. Mr.. Heath explained that the
soil Is our great source of wealth.
and that If farmers are to prosper as
they should they must find a way to
Improve their soil and make it pro-
luce greater yields per acre, and fol-
owing that they must know more
about where, when and how to sell
their products in order to put them
on the market whenever and
wherever there is demand for them.
These things and many others the
arm bureau proposes to do.
