THE FARM BUREAUS
ANNUAL MEETING
(By Lucy A. Curran, Secy.)

two days packed with entertainment
and instruction for the more thai
thirty Farm Bureau delegates from
all over the county, who attended
as well as for all others who wer,
interested enough to be present.
The meetings, which were held il
the court room, were opened Wed
nesday al II 100 o'clock, with B.. F
Roth, Farm Bureau president, pre-.
siding, by an address of welcome by
Mayor H. M. Cosier. He spoke OF
the necessary relations between the
farmers and business men, and eA
tended a hearty welcome to the Wis.
iting delegates. He was followed by
Mr.. Roth's outline of work to be
taken up at the meeting, and the ap-
pointment and instruction of com
mittees.
In the afternoon, M. l.. Wilson,
state leader of county agents, and
an interesting talk on corn growing
in Montana, and w. P. Stapleton,
president Of County Agents ~associa-
ton of Montana, outlined a tilIage
demonstration project, showing how
all projects should be conducted in a
community.
At the same time a woman's pro-
gram on Nutrition was conducted by
Miss Blanche Lee, an extension work
er from the college at Bozeman, at
at the Domestic Science room at the
Poplar High school. There was a
fairly good attendance and an out
line of work for the coming year
was planned in addition to the talk
on nutrition.
At $50 Wednesday evening a ban
quet was served at the Gateway no.
tel, at which the townspeople met
the visiting delegates, who were the
guests of the City of Poplar, as in
deed they were during their entire
stay.
1t is hard to do justice to the sub
ject of the banquet without getting
1owery, but it may be said that
everything was of the best and al
though Mr.. and Mrs. Turner had
prepared covers for seventy, as the
very limit of attendance, they serv-
ed one hundred and three people
without any fuss or furry over the
extras, and there was an abundance
of good things for all. Poplar ap-
preciates her host and hostess at the
gateway, and judging by the COM
we heard Wednesday evening, J
the visitors did too.
During the meal the Poplar High :
School Orchestra rendered music
which was as much enjoyed as the
delicious food. Dana Easton was
MS usual entertaining self as toast
master and he called upon Lee Tin
zer, M. P. Trenne, Miss Blanche Lee
and others, all of whom gave, god
5alks. c
The crowd then adjourned to the !
court room once more, where M. L. {
Wilson gave an address on economic s
problems and a recreational film was t
shown. "a
On Thursday the meeting was pre- V
over by Sid Blair Of Culbertson. J
Senator Lowe made an interesting C
ak on the value of organization i
md Charles D. Greenfield, agricul- v
ural agent of the Great Northern a
Railway, spoke on colonization. Both
