Belew ere the- genlins for the state-wide cleanup sent out by the Utah State Farm Bureau, which is directing and pushing the good work through their town locals. The 1924 Clean Home Clean Town campaign Is already under way In many sections of the state. The campaign this year will be handled directly by the Utah State Farm Bureau, working through the . local units rather than the county organisation, organi-sation, which was the plan last year. The headquarters of the campaign hare been established at Farm Bureau Headquarters and all conk wrancailona and reauesta . for hi for- station snouui oe aireciea mere. The first more to be made by all local bureau, units Is to call a man meeting of representatives from each agency in your town, Including city and county officials, business men's organisations, church organizations, boy scouts, schools, fraternal organisations, organi-sations, If any, etc. At this meeting a definite plan of organization and campaign can be perfected and committees com-mittees appointed to make, recom mendations on the work to be accomplished accom-plished this year. Another meeting should be held a week later to bear J these reports and map out a definite program. The State Farm Bureau Executive Committee expects all local farm bureau presidents and presidents of the Home and Community 8ectlon to accept the responsibility of leadership in the Clean Home Clean Town Campaign. Work out your own program, pro-gram, soiled to your own conditions and remember that "your community 1s your Job." , April , has been designated epecln-call epecln-call as "clean-up month" and a few suggestions, which more or less apply to all communities in the state might be in order, such as to remove old buildings or- barns and fences; Improve Im-prove source of water supply If necessary; neces-sary; clean up recant lots, front yards; remove old manure piles; be mre to screes- houses against das, etc ' - - - . We have to mind now to concentrate concen-trate on three specific things during May, and the next bulletin will be de-' voted to subjects along there linos, namely: Fly and mosquito campaign, paint up campaign, and beautifying campaign. Do not hesitate to call upon state headquarters for any Information and assistance which we can render. The success of the campaign last year was due entirely to. the whole-hearted co-operation of the farm bureau membership. mem-bership. The responsibility for the beauty, health and sanitary conditions condi-tions of a' large percentage of the homes and towns of the state rests with the farm bureau locals, t As soon as your local has the .first meetings let us know who the persons per-sons are wno will be In charge of the work and also.let us know your plans. Work them out as carefullr as ynu can and stick to this proirrsm as - nesrtv-as you can.,.-The . work. JtW year wilt be In "reality a hoe"ani1 community nro'ct. The ladles are going to tiVe much'. Interest In the get Uarted that they will put it over as successfully as the men have done. Much good resulted in the work last year. More good should result this year because your community has had some training along this line and there are persons In your community who' will know how to go ahead. It will be impossible for the State Farm. Bureau to give as much supervision super-vision as was done last year through the Chamber of Commerce. It is your problem and you should be glad to accept the responsibility of putting It over. However, the State Farm Bureau is at your service in whatever they are able to do. Do not nesltate to ask us (or help. We should like the following information infor-mation as soon as you can give it: 1 Have yon already organised for the "Clean-Up Campaign?" 1. The names of the persons In your community on the "Olean-Up committee. 8. What work have you already started? . ' 4. The objects in your community of a "clean up" campaign. Ton should decide: (1) What is the worst feature fea-ture in your town? Plan to abolish it. () What is the best feature In your town? Plan to preserve and enlargeU. After your committee" fs appolnled, they should first draw to a plan. Second, arrange to keep a record of their work. If we can get the support sup-port of the communities, we will arrange ar-range later In the season for a scoring scor-ing of the communities. Later in the season we will try and work out some plan for prises through the county organizations. Utah State Farm Bureau.
