Orleans County Farmers Meet
Farm Bureau Holds Enthusiastic Annual
Meeting in Irasburg Tuesday

Their messages and that of Mr.. H.
C. Mckenzie are worthy of more
space than this issue can give and
they will appear in our next issue The
reports of the several projects as well
as the County Agents should be read
by every farmer and others interested
in Farm Bureau work and the pub
fishers of this paper will devote space
in coming issues for this purpose. If
your neighbor does not have the pa
per in his home, call his attention to
the matter. Every enterprising farm
er should have his home county pa
per. Three months trial subscrip-
tions can be had for fifty cents. Prior
