"TOWNSHIPS ORGANIZED IN FARM BUREAU WORK".--Last week saw the completion of the organization of Township Farm Bureaus in Fremont county. The county agent, ably assisted by Mr. J. E. Sawhill of Page county, has been holding a meeting in every township during the past two weeks and they have met with very encouraging results. Every meeting was well attended and showed a spirit of cooperation and a belief in the future of the organization that bespeaks success for the Farm Bureau movement. These township Farm Bureaus are really the bacbkone of the Farm Bureau Organization because they are a complete unit in themselves and get right down to the ground floor in constant touch with the individual Farm Bureau member. If we have strong Township Farm Bureaus we will have strong County Farm Bureaus, a strong State Federation and a strong National Federation. The old saying, "Take care of the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves," holds in the case of the Farm Bureau. The Township Farm Bureau Organization consists of a president, vice-president and secretary, and a board of cooperators, one for each school district or four square miles. The township president is also the township director in the County Organization and the vice-presidnet is the vice-director. The board of cooperators hold the same position in the township that the township directors hold in the county. The County Organization is made up of the township directors (13 in Fremont county) and a county president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer elected from the Farm Bureau memberships at large by the county board of directors.
