FARM BUREAU
HAS BIG PROCRAM
County Agent Has Been Busy Past
Week. Many Profitable
Meetings Held.
MORE MEETINGS
PLANNED THIS WEEK
Mrs. Dack to Conduct Home Made
Dress Form Demonstration at
Ben Eimer's Friday.
Oct. 6.

The Iowa Farm Bureau Fedora
tion has been Cooperating with the
economic section of the Iowa State
College in conducting research work
to determine the actual cost of pro-
ducing grain and livestock in Iowa.
Production costs on wheat, corn anu
oats were obtained in 1920 and in
'21 the study was also made on the
growing and feeding of livestock.
This work has been carried on in
Shelby County during the past year
inasmuch as it lies in the western
part of the state in the center of
the cattle feeding section. Informa-
tion received to date shows that SO
per cent of the farmers income in
that section is derived from live
stock, 10 per cent from sale of crops
and 7 per cent from poultry.
The value of this work can not De
overstimated as it is the first sys-
tematic attempt ever made by farm
organization to get authentic reports
that would be accepted by the busi-
ness world. Guess work has been
eliminated to the utmost degree and
when the records are completed will
stand in any investigation. This
work undoubtedly will be continued
in the years to come and will furnish
the background for the purpose of
comparing farm incomes with other
business as we'll as comparing the
farmers income one year with an
other.
Shelby county maintains a strong
farm bureau organization, its men,
bership at the present time being at
least two hundred larger than ever
before. Shelby county is also out
standing in that it is one of the two
counties of the state, Winnebago
county being the other, where the
Farm Bureau have paid the salary of
a government inspector to test the
herds of cattle for tuberculosis; 57l
herds have already received one free
test, A are accredited, 264 on the
waiting list and total of 96l ap-
plications for the test being in. An
other example of what can be ac-
complished by all factions pulling
together.
County Agents Report for September
The county agents monthly report
shows the following projects have
been taken up during the month and
the nature of the work on each pro-
ject: -.
Assisted extension specialist, w.
E. Dittmer, with demonstration in

melodramatic success, "The. Night
cap, which comes to the Grand to-
morrow, Thursday night, Oct. 5,
there are many thrills and exciting
scenes that bring ones hair to an
end, during the action of the play
throughout. During the eight
months run at the Playhouse, Chi
cago, where this attraction played
to capacity business, the verdict was
often heard in lobbies and smoking
rooms between acts. The action of
the play takes places at the home
of bank president. He has hit
snag in financing a huge project; the
only way that he can see at the ap-
proach of federal examiners, is to
gather some S800,00000 in life in
surance and have someone shoot
him; he must be slain and the hero
is willing to be slain for the bene-
fit of his depositors. There is situa-

STATE CHAIRMAN
ISSUES STATEMENT
Declares Iowa Farmers Would Deep
ly Resent the Dictation of a
Few Men to Bolt Their
Candidate.

Des Moines, Iowa-The anti
Brookhart meeting held at Hotel
Fort Des Moines, last week will not
seriously embarrass the republican
party, declared B. B. Bumquist,
chairman Of the republican state CEN
trail committee, on his return to Des
Moines from trip through north
ern Iowa.
Burnquist issued a statement in
which he declared that the Iowa
farmers would deeply resent the
dictation of few men to bolt their
candidate, and that Herring's cleo
ton would be an Endorsement of the
past administration of the federal
reserve bank. He said that no plans
were being made to combat the anti
Brookhart movement, as such
campaign was unnecessary.
81 do not believe that the meet
ing called by a few irreconcilables
at Hotel Fort Des Moines will in
any way embarass the republican
ticket" he said. "There are al
ways those who do not approve Of
the results obtained in a conven-
tion or primary.
"The fact remains that the Iowa
farmer, which in fact means the
great majority of Iowa voters, for
we are all farmers directly or in
directly, will deeply resent the die
tation of few men to bolt their
candidates.
"The platform upon which Mr..
Herring is running declares un-
equivocally for the Endorsement of
the past administration of the fed
eral reserve bank, whose policy of

Condemning that administration

ton will be approved by the voters
in Iowa this fall. y
Conditions are not such in Iowa
that the Iowa farmer is going to re-
main content and not voice his pro-
test against the administration of the
management of the federal banking
system, and no group reorganization
of men is going to interfere with
his resolution to express himself.
Furthermore Colonel Brookhart
received the statutory plurality in
the primary election provided for
by the republican administration
and will receive the vote of the
rank and file of the party"
