The winter's activities of the Better Farming Asociation have already be gun. Secretary Thomas Cooper has just ended a series of sectional meet ings of the field representatives of the Association at Graild Forks, Minot, Valley City, and Bowman, one of the chief points of the campaign being the organization of Farmers' clubs. Since the recent launching of the movement great interest is being shown among the farmers in the plans proposed for their clubs, not only in the counties where the Better Farm ing work is being carried on, but gen erally through the state. It is certain that there will be a large number of these "Rural Clubs" organized this win ter, and the slogan is "Two Hundred Clubs for North Dakota." With the present tendency in the coun try, and the hearty co-opera tion by business men and foremost in the point of organization among the farmers before the. end of the winter. Organization is not limited only to the Ascsociation's territory, but urged in every live comunity of the state. The Better Farming Asociation freely offers the help and support of its strong organization to any community proposing the forming of a Farmers' club. The recent bulletin isued on the subject contains a vast amount of in formation concerning the work, value and organization of the clubs and ser ves as a comprehensive handbook for their guidance. Now, with the sumer work conclud ed and the long winter months at hand is the time to form these clubs to outline their winter's work. Twelve or fifteen congenial neighbors, which includes the whole family constitutes about the right membership. Meet ings should be held regularly at times most suitable to all members and a de finite program arranged in advance for each meeting. The program should be designed to be of educational value yet alive and interesting. Aside from the financial value of the organization or the educational service of the meet ings, the greatest benefit will come from the sociability which will come about, and is so needed in country life. The social feature is especially needed by the women and the boys and girls. Farm neighbors should know each other better. The people of the farms of the state are beginning to feel the need of some form of organization where they can come together and arouse concerted action along lines of vital local or gen eral development. The Farmers' club will be a vital factor in the field of rural advance, and will supply the •ame need in country life that the Com mercial club supplies in the city. In the present widespread campaign for bettering rural conditions and the the large amount of help coming to rural communities from the outside they have a great use in securing and adapting this assistance to their needs. They will further develop leaders, es pecially community leadership, one of the strongest factors of progress and Officers and directors of Telephone companies operating in North Dakota have been invited to meet with the Railroad Commission for a conference at Bismarck on December 3rd.
