FARM BUREAU WORK
REORGANZED
At the meeting of the board of di
rectors of the County Farm Bureau
last Saturday they decided to separate
the work of the Farm Bureau and the
Extension work somewhat. This was
done in order that county marketing
work could be taken up without any
objection from the tax payers who
were not interested in the Farm Bu
reau atyi marketing work. F. H. Lan
caster was hired by the Farm Bureau
Board and is to have charge ofl the
Farm Bureau work which does not
come under the Extension work, and
will have charge of the county Market
eting program. The office of the
County Agent and Mr. Lancaster will.
be together and Mr. Lancaster will
have the general supervision of the
office work but will not devote his time
to the Extension work. He will be paid
from the County Farm Bureau mem
bership money instead of County and
Federal money. Mr. Nye who has
been County Agricultural Agent for
three years in Colfax county will take
up the County Agent work in the
county and comes well recommended.
Mr. Lancaster will work the general
marketing plan through the Farmers
Stores, Elevators, Farmers Union Lo
cals and Farm Bureau Marketing com
mittee men in the different precincts.
It is intended to carry on collective
marketing of produce, hay, grain, and
