mess was transacted.
Plans for the summer were discussed

tary of the organization, will visit var
ious parts of the county in an effort
to interest the farmers in the work to
be undertaken.
q. l.. Squirting was elected reclama-
tion project leader; ]. j. Kindschuh
was elected potato project leader.
report was made concerning eff
forts that have been made towards Sc
curing a county agent. 1t seems that
the state extension department has not
yet been able to definitely decide to
cooperate with Boundary county in the
matter of county agent although the
county commissioners have agreed to
stand half the expense as in previous
years.
Although no active membership cam
paign has been made the Boundary
County Farm bureau now has so men,
bers and il is anticipated that this
number will be increased to 250. The
local organization is affiliated with the
state Farm Bureau and the National
