More than 300 farmers in this state have enlisted in the campaign to encourage breed ing of better stock. Virginia leads all states, with 1,000 farmers using only purebred sires. South Caronnn follows clo.se to Nebraska. The cam paign is being conducted co-operatively by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, state colleges cf agriculture and local farm bureaus, in an effort to improve the quality of live stock. When a farmer has re placed all his scrub sires with pure breds he applies to his local farm bureau for official, recognition as a breeder of better stock. When his application is accepted he is award ed an emblem to post on his farm, advertising the fact that he is a pro gressive farmer. It is believed that in five years the campaign will re sult in a material improvement in the quality of the live stock produc ed in the United States, i 1 i ffi 1 a Dakota City, Neb.

Farm Bureau Field Notes C. R. Young, County Agent Ono of the most enthusiastic meet ings ever held in Dakota county was staged at Hubbard, Monday, Novem ber 23rd, whero at least 250 farmers had gathered fora "booster meet ing preceding thc'Farm Bureau mem bership drive of the county. Mr. Wm. P. Warner, who has always neon actively engaged in agriculture, told how years ago he had felt tho need of a strong farmers organization. lie mentioned how, a few years ago, while living in Omaha, they paid well over a dollar a bushel for potatoes and at the samo time were deliver ing them on cars from his Dakota county farm at 40 cents a bushel Such wide ranges in prices, on the necessities of life, ho went on to say. have long been the rule. That we must organize and pull together for self preservation was brought out In Mr. Warnor's talk. Mr. Dan Sheehan of Emerson pre cinct, gavo a most spirited talk on tho present agricultural situation. He slewed tho helplessness of tho farmer unless thoy aro willing to or ganize ahd work together. In clos ing, he showed how that in tho past farmers have viewed many things of vital importance to them with tho utmost indiirercnce. He called at tention to tho nil too often, too poorly attended agricultural meet ings nnd tho difficulty in securing co-operation from fanners when put ting on a bit of work of common In terest to tho community. Theso things must change to ono of mutual helpfulness and organization If tho farmer is, in the future, to maintain his independence, Mr. Sheohan con tinued. Father 12. K. Zeph, of St. Mary's church of Hubbard, with his usual enthusiasm, said that ho considered it tho religious duty of tho farmers to organize. Ho snowed how farm- (era of today wore oppressed on evory nana anu now capitalists liad al ready discussed plans for reducing tho farmers to tho station of slaves, Mr. L. I. Friable, of tho State Ex tension oorvice, reviewed tho Farm Bureau from Its 'beginning". Ho I (TATE BANK NE1J1IASKA m in Hanking" showed that, how from a few scatter ed counties, tho work has spread into many counties in every state. HeTquIcknqsa of tho Dakota City foot- then showed how tho State and Na tional Federations were tho natural outgrowth or tho county Farm Bu reau. Mr. Frisbio closed by setting forth the three-fold work of the County Farm Bureau, the men's work, tho women's work, and tho work with the boys and girls. Ho emphasized the fact that a stronger organization is needed if theso interests are to be properly cared for. Miss Mabel Lucado, home demon stration agent for Thurston county, showed the woman s place in tho Farm Bureau movement. She allow ed tho interest nnd the feeling the county women havo in everything pertaining to rural life. Miss Lu cado left her audience with the feel ing that the woman from tho farm mny be depended upon to "do her part, not oply with her many homo duties, but also in tho farm organiza tion. The closing talk was made by Mr. Eugone Sullivan, an Iowa farmer, representing tho Nebraska Farm Bu reau Federation. Mr. Sullivan told of tho strong organization already perfected in other states and also of the National Federation. Ho cited a few of tho accomplishments of these bodies, among other things tho referendum voto taken on tho so called "Daylight saving law," which was shortly afterwards repealed; and on the Nolan Land Bill which has not sinco come from the committee room. This bill proposed a one per cent tax on all real estate ovor 10,000. He told of how n commit too headed by tho president of tho National Federation secured n. equalization of freight rates from Chicago to the soa-hourd. which liml hitherto boon discriminatory agoinbt tho hundreds of freighters lvintridl? on the Great Lakes. By this change of rotes, the boats wore able to oper ato and hundreds of cars wero re leased to tho west. Mr. Sullivan told of the "committee of 17" now setting to toivo in tho interest of tho consumer and producer, tho great vniurkoting problems of thij 'country, and how that th,oy seek lo eliminate the wide fluctuations so detrimental to agriculture and to sc cure better transportation facilities and rates. He closed by enlarging on tho preesnt need of much legisla tion favorablo to agriculture, If tho farmer is to continue in business. lie stated that a large organization of farmers backed by tho spirit co operation and stick-to-it-ivoncss is the only thing that will win. Tho membership drive will be in progress over tho county during the week. Thurston county reports 95 percent of her farmers enrolled fron' their drive last week. Dakota coun ty should be thero to tho Inst man. M. K. Church Notes Rev. S. A. Dralso, Pastor Your pastor desires to express ap prcciation for all tho kindness on the part of friends during tho try ing hours of sickness. But for friends who arc willing to show their caro in tho manner the Master commanded this would indeed ho a sad place in which to meet such events as wo have just passed. But the "'- much as yo did it" found in tl. ' i of good friends is atthih time i. ' great consolation. Words are empty of power to express tho appreciation we feel for all tho kind nets and helpful words, for tho beau tiful flowers in the sick room and in "her .service," as she called it. The memory of theso kind friends will brighten many of tho loncsomo hours which we must needs pass through And tho bonds of love aro a littlo closer drawn now1. Wo take courago and aro willing to go pn teaching otheis tho need to have the same spirit. Tho Word says, "Every man must boar his own burden," but in the samo chapter aro the words, "bear yo ono another's burden," that is, wo need to help each other. What is tho lot of one is no greater than tho lot of another. What the Master says to one lie says to all. W hope to bo more helpful because of this experience. Surely tho kingdom in terests aro deeper in our souls today than they wero boforo. Thero is really nothing worth while in life except that which ministers to the call of the soul. Tho treasures up yonder aro precious in our memory because they nro in His sight. Wo hope to havo services ritjularly beginning next Sunday. Morning service at 11 o'clock. Evening. sorvlco at -7:30. o'clock. - Special musical numbers 'in tho evening. o s DAKOTA CITY SCHOOL NOTES J.

Tho gamo was In Dakota Olty'n favor until lato in tho bocoiuI half when Emer son, with tho holp of tholr roforoc, gained, by means of fouls called on Dakota's players, until at tho closo of the gamo tho scoro was a tlo of 13 to 13.
