The report of the head lettuce COM
mttee again received unanimous en-
dorsement by the board of directors
of the Canyon County Farm Bureau
at their regular monthly meeting held
Wednesday in the Commercial club
rooms at Caldwell At a former
monthly meeting Of the board held on
Saturday, Feb. II, the report Of the
committee, the contract between the
grower and the Idaho Producers
Union and the proposed contract be-
tween the Idaho Producers Union
and the California Vegetable Union
were read to the board of directors
and after due consideration were I'M
animously approved by the board
One of the men, however, whose pro-
position was rejected by the COM
mittee has attacked the committees
report recently and due to this attack
the board Wednesday listened again
to statement of the additional facts
concerning the findings of the COM
mittee with special reference to a par
ticular concern that has been dissatis-
| fed with the committees report.
After having heard the matter fully
presented, the board unanimously and
enthusiastically reendorsed the report
of the committee and recommended
that the growers think very seriously
before joining any other organization
tina the Idaho Producers Union thru
which to market their lettuce.
The board elected S. G. Tucker, of
Tucker; S. E. Yaggy, of South Side
Boulevard, and David Sproat, of
Melba, members of the executive COM
mittee for 1922. These three men, to-
gether with the president, vice-presi-
dent, secretary and treasurer constitute
the executive committee of the board
for the current year.
Herman Weick, dairy project lead
er, spoke concerning the need of a
COW testing association in Canyon
county and endorsed Max Gresendas,
tester of the Ada county cow testing
association, who discussed the work of
the association and its benefits to the
owner of dairy cows. Following the
discussions on this subject, the board
voted unanimously to refer the mat
ter to Mr.. Weick with instructions
RI nrncaaI ~ he .,.l
ment should direct, with the under
standing that whatever action was
taken would have the approval of the
board of directors.
S. f. Yaggy, chairman of the pro-
gram committee for 1922, submitted a
very comprehensive program cover
ing the proposed activities of the Can
yon county farm bureau for the cur
rent year. After full discussion, the
program as outlined by the committee
was unanimously approved and the
committee was instructed to- work out
all of the details of the program and
have copies sent to the press and to
every community chairman in the
county.
Consideration was also given to
resolutions signed by committee"
from the Lone Star district in
which the action of the farm bur-
eau at former meeting was cri-
ticised and in which it was infer
red that the farm bureau was
antagonistic to the Nampa CO.
operative Creamery. Discussion
disclosed the fact that the board
of directors and the county agent,
individually and collectively, have
been solidly behind the Nampa
creamery at all times and have
done everything in their power to
advance the interests of this in
stitution and to encourage dairy
men throughout Canyon county
to support this institution, and
statements regarding any one con-
nected with the Nampa institution
were considered to be ridiculous
by the board and to have been
instigated by men whose only OBJ
Ject was to create an appearance
of dissension in the farm bureau,
which does not exist.
