There are several of us Nephi boys in camp who alwa s look forward to the day when we get the news from home. I am enjoying army life very much, and can see many advan tages connected with it. Of course there are a great many difficulties and temptations that we come up against, but they need noi bother a person if he is trying' to do what he knows is right. It is surprising to see the great change that has taken place in some of the boys who have been under military training for two or three months, I would not take anything for what little experience 1 have had, and look forward to something a great deal more interesting in the fu- ure. ' I am glad I enlisted when I did and went with a good bunch of Utah boys. Our'regiment is gaining rec ognition very fast in many lines here in camp. We have a 'num ber one' football team.

That the active cooperation. advice, and assistance of farmers themselves is necessary to the success of county agent work is one of the most important lessons impressed upon officials of the United States Department of Agriculture after six years of experience with this work in the northern and western States. The best means of securing this local support has proven to be the establishment of a county organization usually known as a farm Bureau. To enable the county agent and local farmers to organize and conduct a farm bareau most effectively, the department has just published detailed suggestions as to methods of procedure in a guide known as 'Handbook on Farm Bureau Organization for County Agricultural Agents.' The plan represents the fruit of experience in this field thus far, it is said. It can be adapted readily to the varying coditions of different counties. It may be established in counties having inefficient organizations, in counties contemplating the employment of an agent and in places where the agent is now unsupported by a local county organi zation. The chief functions of a farm Bureau, as outlined in the hand are: coordinate the efforts of existing local agricultural forces either organized or unorganized and to organize new lines of effort. It does not supplant any existing organizations or compete with them, but establishes a clearing house through which all may increase their efficiency without in any way surrendering their individuality. dook 1- - To 2- - To counsel bring to the agent the Mrs. Vance Mangelson pleas- antly entertained her lady friends at club Thursday evening.
