Farm Bureau Meetings a Success
Firm Bureau meetings were held
in each township of the County dur
ing the week of January 10th. These
meetings were addressed by F. M.
Glasgow, a farmer from = Licking
County, who pointed out very de-
fn,tely and convincingly just what
t.. len Dollars Farm Bureau Mem
bership had been used for, and what
tie returns on the investment had
Lscn 50 far. No fair minded farmer
cuuid listen to the straight forward
1acts gwen by Mr. Glasgow as TO the
a anIevements OF the farm bureau
Witnout beng thoroughly convinced
tnat he had received ten dollars in
J. nshU from his organization in the
last year.

lucn township chairman in the
Co1nty has appointed one or more
m N IN each sch ,ol district as farm
bAreau .committee to look after farm
bureau business and activities during
the coming year. This will include
obtaining new members and the col
lucsIon of 1872 dues as well as other
tarm bureau business. Though no
t.wnship has yet made complete
canvass about fifty new members
have already been signed up. These
members come from the following
townships Royalton 20, Clinton 20.
Chesterfield 9, Amboy 8, Dover g..
Other townships are working on the
canvass but have not yet made their
reports.
Indications are that the farm bu-
reau will be stronger in Fulton
County during the coming year than
ever before.
Remedies For ROup
According to the statement of E.
L. Dakan poultry specialist of the ag-
ricultural extension department, roup
is more prevalent in the flocks of
Ohio this winter than it has been in
many years. Mr.. Dakan attributes
this to the extremely damp, cold
weather of November and December.
After the roup has gotten into a
flock it is very difficult to eradicate
it, without very careful management
over long period. Mr.. Dakan re-
cOmmends plenty of ventilation, ep-
som salts at the rate of one pound to
three gallons of water for one hun
dred hens, every ten days, permag-
nate of potash in the drinking water,
the separation of affected birds and
their treatment of squirting a mix
ture of equal parts of oil of thyme,
oil of eucalyptus, and camphorated
oil, up their nose from small oil
can.
Where the disease is taken in time
vaccination has proven quite success
FIJI in stopping the disease. The vac
cine can be obtained for five cents or
less per bird.
