FARM BUREAU NOTES.
A Howling Success.

mic has passed into history and in its
passing will be remembered as one OF
the red letter days Of the Holt County
Farm Bureau. The program was car
ried out almost to the letter and we
certainly should congratulate ourselves
upon the lineup of speakers, which
we were able to be present on this &C.
casiOn. Much very favorable COM
ment has been heard on the line Of
thought presented by our speakers.
Il was rather unfortunate that Mr..
Donnell, representing the U. S. Grain
Growers, was called to Chicago at the
last minute, thereby making it impos-
sible for him 20 he with US, but we
must feel proud of the fact that events
are moving so swiftly in connection
with the farmers cooperative market
ing enterprises, and men serving the
farmers in the capacity in which Mr..
Donnell Is serving them, Of course, are
likely TO be called on short notice. He
was not badly missed, however, as Mr..
Paul y. Naylor filled his place very
creditably, and in his usual forceful
manner. presented thoughts which
many carried home with them for fu-
ture meditation,
Just preceding Mr.. MAYORS address,
Mr.. =. II. Ross, County Agent leader
from Columbia, Mo-, made short ad-
dress. which dealt not with theory, but
with actual problems which confront
US.
The noon hour was probably enjoyed
a. much az any other part Of the day
as old neighbors and friends spread
their dinners together under trees, and
H had good hours visit along with the
H partaking of the toothsome viands
H which had been prepared by the good
\ housewives. There is nothing that has
H quite the appeal which an old-fashion-
|l ed basket dinner carries with Il.
II The athletic contests were carried on
u Immediately following the noon hour
I and very much enjoyed by all who
Il were able 10 see them.
n The afternoon speaking program
h was one long TO be remembered. Mrs.
II e. c. Schuttlcr, q farmers wife and a
III member Of the Executive Committee OF
III the Missouri Farm Bureau Federation
VI In her pleasing and forceful manner
j discussed her reasons for believing in
the Farm Bureau. When the pro.
, gram was over. her address was the
subject of much favorable comment
and We believe that the message which
she brought US will he the means OF
D convincing large numbers Of Holt
county people that they should supper,
the Holt County Farm Bureau, because
Of the thing, for which il stands.
Mr.. Frank y. fulkerson, farmer
Of Lafayette county, and president OF
his own county Farm Bureau, was the
last speaker on the program. MI
fulkerson's address was doubly inter.
| esting TO many of our Holt county
i people, a. MIR. Fulkerson at one time
served this district in congress, and 1,
personally known 10 large numbers oi
Iour people. One could not help bu,
realize, during Mr.. Fulkerson's al.
dress, that he was one Of many farm.

hands to a task, expecting TO hang on

4 the things which they set out to d,
have been accomplished. Mr.. Fulker
son, while being president Of the La
fayette County Farm Bureau, Is also &
Farm Club member, and the thoughts
that he presented will be carried HON,
