FARM BUREAU
men HERE
INDIFFERENT IN SOME SEC.
TIONS-STRONG IN
OTHER PARTS.

Charles G.. Stonebreaker, a re-
preventative of the Farm Bureau
Federation, which organization
is putting on a drive throughout
the county for membership
spoke to a small audience in Cot
tonwood last Thursday after
noon.
Owing to the smallness of the
audience which heard Mr.. Stone
breaker and at our suggestion he
has set forth 80 points for which
the farm bureau takes credit any
one of them meaning a great
deal to the farmers of the nation
as a whole.
There appears to he an indif-
ferent feeling in and about Cot
tonwood regarding the farm
bureau, much of which we un-
derstand is due to the fact some
farmers have taken exception to
the county agent, and as a re-
suit have condemned the farm
bureau, which they really did
not wish to censor, but did so
only through misinformation.
During the grasshopper siege
here some time ago there is no
question but that the farm bu-
reau and county agent saved the
farmers of Idaho county thous-
ands of dollars and we can see no
reason why this great work
should not lie continued as it
only costs a nominal tax TO sus-
tain il. The farm bureau and
county agent is the farmers
best friend and the only depart
ment in the county run for the
farmers and why some wish to
abolish it is beyond our reason
ing. Taxes some say are too
high.
If they are too high why not
cut them down in some other
way?
The Farm Bureau in other sec
tions of the county is being
heartily endorsed. Those con-
nected with the farm bureau
work state that they will not
force it upon any community and
if not desired will be dropped
As now planned the county
movement will be interlocked
with the state and federal farm
bureau movements.
The American Farm Bureau
Federation takes credit for the
following accomplishments:
/. Welded together the larg-
est farmers organization ever
builded in the history of the
world, with more than a million
farmers working in an organized
way to promote the best inter.
ests of agriculture through 1907

Perhaps by the time the
Chronicle reaches many of its
readers who will have noticed a

is due to the fact that his wife

its dad. DR.. Orr, the attending

and baby doing well.
