FARM BUREAU.
Annual Meeting, Seed Show and Ex-
hibit

a gathering as expected, was the only
unfortunate feature About $50 at
tended. The exhibit was far ahead
of any ever before shown in this
county
The annual business meeting
opened at / o'clock. The president,
Harry Woods very agreeably
handled the meeting A large
amount of work of great value to the
county was reported accomplished
during 1923. 1t included $3.50 COWS
tested for tuberculosis; two pure
bred bull associations organized.
which means that approximately $50
of the county's cows will be bred to
pure-bred bulls in the next six years:
$50 boys and girls enrolled in club
work, of which "a per cent finished
their projects. The work, which is
carried on through local committees,
is deserving the support of every
man and woman in the county.
After the reports came the plans of
extension work for the women and
for the men for 1924, adoption of the
financial budget for 1924, election Of
officers and general discussion of new
business for next year. The chair
was turned over to the new president,
and a rising vote of thanks was given
to show the appreciation of Mr..
Woods services during 1928. Mr..
Woods has seen the membership
grow to SIS men and women, the
largest the Bureau has ever had.
The following officers were elected
for 1924: Calvin Young, Hancock,
president; Fred Milliken, Hancock,
vice-president; Howard F. Whit
comb, Ellsworth, secretary-treas-
urer; Mrs. Nellie Foss, Hancock,

docks, North Ellsworth, orchard pro-
ject leader; Milton Arey, Salisbury

they ask in return the support of
everyone interested in the agriculture
of the county.
The exhibit was large and of high
class, which is proved by the follow
ing list of entries. To win a rib
bon in this show meant real class.
