OF
Continued from Page One)

tlOnlng at the present time IN the
several fields of %educations, econom-
i, protective and breed development
work within the state. Every one of
these organizations is doing a work
that is closely associated with the
work of the Department of Agricul-
ture of Montana. The conference is
called with the idea that the work
of the department can be made much
more valuable to farmers and stock
men of the state if it can have the
cooperation of the farm organiza-
tions in their fields of activity, and
can profit from the advice, not only
of the different groups in matters
relating solely to their own interests,
but of the entire representative body
Whine it speaks on matters of COM
mon interest among them.
"The idea of the Council of Agri-
culture is one that has been in the
mind of the farm organization lead
ers of the state for a long time. The
conference on April q will afford
the representatives of the different
associations an opportunity to real
lie the plan. 1t is, of course, the
hope of the Department that such a
Council will have for one of its OBJ
jects to cooperate with the Commits
sioner of Agriculture and serve as an
advisory board on matters affecting
the business of farming.
1.-The livestock associations are in
Guided because, while they are also
very closely interested in the work
done under the direction of tn Mon
tana Livestock Commission and the
Montana Livestock Sanitary board,
there are many phases of the work
of the Department of Agriculture that
touch them closely. The state fair,
the work of the Department relating
to the states land policy, it's market
ing and publicity activities all will
affect livestock production.
NATURALLY occasions may arise
wherein the Council of Agriculture
will ask for action and assistance from
the Department of Agriculture which
cannot be given. On the other hand
there is no ambition on the part of
the Department to control the forma-
ton or operations of the Council. The
conference which the Department
feels is of immediate importance to
hold will simply give the farm and
livestock men a good chance to form
the Council.
"It is our hope that the farmers
and stockmen will feel that the De-
partment Of Agriculture sincerely
wants to be responsive to their needs,
and helpful to them in working out
their problems. We want every farm
er and stockman in the state to con
slider that the offices of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, wherever they
may be located, are his headquarters
in the State House, and to feel not
only that he is welcome but that it
is his duty to come in with his sug-
gestions, criticisms and counsel on
matters within the jurisdiction of the
Department."
