(special Correspondence.l

Geneseo. Ill, Oct. 13.-The regu-
lar monthly meeting of the Geneseo
Farm bureau was held at the Cen
eseo Township high school Tues
day evening. The particular feat
ure of the meeting was the address
by R c. Goode, representing the
Moline Pillow company.
In Mr. Goodies remarks he ac-
knowledged that there was and still
is no little expense in marketing
farm implements. The manufac-
turer has been to blame; so has
the middle man or middle men. And,
in part, the ultimate consumer by
his attitude in buying, has also
contributed to this heavy cost By
the plan the Moline Pillow com
pany has in view it will be pos
sible to deal more directly with the
user of implements than hereto
fore. The local dealer will not
be entirely eliminated, but a more
direct method of delivery and a
greater amount of erection of i'm
about decided lower costs. His
address was we'll received by the
large number of farm bureau mem
bers present.
1t was announced at this meet
ing that the first carload of Early
Ohio potatoes which the bureau will
bring to Geneseo may be expected
