SThere Mn being organized in Shed
dair costy a body of farmers which
will be known as the Sheridan Coun
. ty Farm Bureau.
A Farm Bureau is a county-wkld
•rg aton of farm men and Wo
men and others interested in ail
culture for the purpose of coopera
ing with the State College of Ag
riculture of Montana and the U. 8.
Department of Agriculture, to im
prove agricultural and home com
munity life of the rural people.
During the -war it is the principal
'organization .through' which the sec
retary of agriculture will work with
the farmers of the county.
The farm bureau is a national or
ganiZation whic aims to organize a
bureau in every agricultural county
in the United States. There are
now 750 organizations, having a
m embership of 250,000 men and wo
men, and more are being organized
every day.
Both men and women and every
one interested in farming may join,
but all offieers and committeemea
must be farmers living on farms.
The dues are but one dollar a year.
There are no paid offiers, all money
being used to issue monthly farm
bulletins, exchange list and adver
tise meetings.
The organization is nonpolitical
and does not engage in business. Its
activities are purely educational.
The work of the bureau is to be
arried on by a county execatve
e6unkittee and appointed commit
tees in each commuaity cooperistlg
