pleasant ono.
Mr. C A. Cobb, Editor of the South

time to pass the appropriation bill
off-setting the Smith-Lever flmd. Tile
travelling expenses- of tho field men
from the College of Agriculture asp
paid from this fund. Mr. Cobb, bow
ever, war. equal to tie occasion and
made n splendid talk, telling how
the Faun Bureau, ns an organization,
had helped the farmers in other
states, notably Mississippi, after the
advent of the boll weevil, and how
the business interest#, including mcr.
chants and hankers, had combined
their e fforts with the farmers to over
come a demoralized situation, surh
as is ht ing laced today. While Kr.
Cobh's : pooch was made te the, rain
from start to ftuish, lie held the in
terest of his audience throughout, and
his words of encouragement and ad-
rice will no doubt be of great help to
the farmers of this county.

ter of Ceremonies for the occaaiot
and handled the. Job as only “Cousin
Dave" can do.

dred persons. Mr. John Stiles was
tho "Royal Chef," who prepared tb#

fied. The Farm Bureau wishes to
extend their thanks to him for hie
competence and courtesy on this oc*
casion.

gave short talks of em-ouragament,
among the number being Mr. Ga*.

ment of local conditions.
