a stretch of road which forms the
connecting link between Miles City and
Glasgow. Mr.. Mann pointed out in his
talk that the Bureau of Public Roads
had failed to designate the road lead
ing from the Adam Lenz bridge to the
foothills. The club was grateful for
this information, and consented to take
the matter up Immediately with a view
to securing a favorable decision on the
matter.
Irrigation.
J. l.. Truscott then furnished the
club members with valuable data rela-
tive to our irrigation projects. Such
matters as the establishing of the unit
of acres allowed, increased water
charges and the recent fencing order
of the project manager were all dis
cussed.
Agriculture.
County Agent Murray E. Stebbins
who has charge of the Valley county
Farm Bureau activities stated in a
most concise manner the attitude of
the Valley bureau at this time on mat
ters of vital Importance. Mr.. Stebbins
had just returned from the annual
meeting of the county agents and the
Farm Bureau presidents at Bozeman,
and he had some facts fresh from the
lips of some of the greatest authorities
of the nation, which proved indeed in
teresting. He stated that the farmers
of this county, so far as the Farm
Bureau is concerned are not contem-
plating activity along lines of pooling
their products for marketing. He ex-
planned, in a brief manner, the doings
of the state and national associations
and stated that he did not believe that
the committee of seventeen which
was appointed some time ago at In
dianapolis could possibly solve the set
market price problem. He added that
he believed the reason that this
committee has to date failed to make a
report is because it has failed in it's
purpose. Mr.. Stebbins was followed
by Peter Peterson, president of the
Valley county Farm Bureau, which is
the largest organization of it's kind in
the state. Mr.. Peterson, who had also
just returned from the Bozeman meet
ing gave some very interesting infor-
nation relative to the decisions of the
farmers while at the college city. He
also explained some of the problems
of the farmers as such came before
the Bozeman convention. The Cham
Der of Commerce extended to the
Farm Bureau it's w%holehearted services
for the development of the entire com
munity along lines of sound agricul-
tural methods.
T. r. Highway.
Orval f. Mason, the club member
who did the work, the past season, of
marking the Roosevelt Trail through
the state, delivered a cerefully pre-
pared paper on "The Value of a
Marked Highwoy." In his talk, Nh.
Mason gave a vivid description of the
new memorial trail, and explained in
a concise manner the many advantages
that Northern Montana and the city of
Glasgow would derive from having
such a highway traverse her territory.
He told of his trip while marking the
trail and spent much of his time CIV
planning the vital Importance to a city
and a community of a sanitary camp
ing park.
Other members of the club to give
brief talks were County Attorney

ager of the Glasgow Flour Mills Com
pany.
