A history of the purchase of the

icy of the publication was to be
directed by the Farm Bureau was
given by j. NJ. Grafton.

against the present method of con

George NJ. Austin'especially cri-
ticised it because it is now print
ing the Rounder, which is the
unofficial booster of Mexicali and
it's activities. -
Grafton, who defended the farm
paper, came back at this argu-
.ment by saying that the only rea-i
son that some other paper did not
print the Rounder was because the
Farmer underbid them all.
Q. C. Webster, president of the
Farm Bureau, then stated that be-

paid to the paper from dues this

to be a stumbling block in the
path of getting a larger farm
