T HE FARM BUREAU is a partnership organization with the Federal and State Departments of Agriculture co-operating with the organized farmers of the county. Work done in the county is outlined by the Board of Directors, who determine what the county agricultural program shall be. This program is modified in each com- munity to suit the needs and demands of the community.
The Farm Bureau is trying to find the best way to eradicate "paint- brush" on our pasture land, which is too rough to be plowed. The above picture shows the effect of the application of from 400-500 lbs. 16% acid phosphate on paint-brush pasture. No grass seed was used, yet the native white clover has become well established.
WORK DONE
Farm census taken in co-operation with State Food Commission and State Department of Education. A county sales list was made up and sent to 7500 farmers.

The man or woman, boy or girl, sojourning in this gay old world, First National Bank Philosophy who gives no serious thoughts or fears to ills that wait in coming years will some day face a sorrow great, or lose a chance that is first- rate, because they fooled away their tin when there were banks to put it in, where it would be a con- stant boost to help them to a higher roost. Now if they'd heed the wise of men, who from their lips or with their pen give words of truth (now and then), this life With Apologies to Walt Mason would be less gray and cold when youth is gone and they are old. Each year or month or week or day they'd save some cash to lay away. They'd have a bank account, by gosh, and feed it often with more dosh, and it would grow with every moon and be a good one pretty soon; and they would learn the ways of thrift, and not be folks that's just adrift. The chap that loafs and blows each dollar is always free to make a holler that times are bad and luck is worse, the weather wrong and work's a curse; but he who finds a job to do, and works his brain and both hands, too, and saves-well, say-'bout half his pay and comes to us on Saturday, and says to Pike behind our wicket, "Please tell me about a deposit ticket and the other things I ought to know to start an account and make it grow." Now that young chap is right in line, when he goes out he's feeling fine ; he says, "That bank's a friend of mine. They know the way men make success and that's good enough for me, I guess." When he goes home and tells his dad that he's just banked every cent he had, the old man's proud of his son that night, for he knows his boy is started right. And mother, too, she wears some smile, for she's been listening all the while. Just watch him now a few short years-you'll have to go some, it appears, for he is forging right ahead-"he's in luck," the loafer said. He's got no time for knocks or grumps, he saves his mon, hangs on and humps. He never minds his neighbor's biz, he's a-hustling, minding his. Then there comes a chance some day, 'cause a business 'cross the way needs a man of brain and skill, with some ducats in the till. He must be a man that's straight, got some push, is up- to-date, one that people all respect 'cause he's square and don't neglect any job he has to do, but just smiles and puts it through. Who's the fellow gets it, think ? Some unworthy, shiftless gink ? Well, I guess not, Mister Man, our young friend who first began in the slow but surer way and kept a-plugging every day, he's the sort they want to get, and they get him, you just bet, and the bank stands back of him-sees him through in thick and thin; now he smiles like Sunny Jim; every- body honors him .- [W.
