FARM BUREAU MEETING AT LAPOINT BROUGHT FORTH GOOD RESULTS The monthly meeting of the Uin tah farm bureau was held at Lapoint with about 25 present. A general discussion brought out many good ideas. Lapoint is low on active farm bureau members and it was decided to make a drive for members. One thing brought out clearly and driven home with force was that only farm bureau members should benefit by any special activity of pools such as wool, turkeys, seed, Last fall in dairying and others. the turkey shipments such benefit was extended those not members of the farm bureau and it is found they are the ones that have done most of the kicking about the prices received and over the mistakes, because there were some that were -- made. F. 0. Lunberg, "the turkey king" stated that had it not been for the turkey pool, nearly all would have received a far less price than they He was frank to state also did. that the price received was not what he had expected but was far more than he would have received had it not been for the pool. Utah received the best price of any state in the Union. It was decided not to extend any advantages to nonmembers of the farm bureau in the future. They endorsed the truth in fabrics bill and the secretary ordered to so notify our senators and representatives at Washington. Boys and girls club work was urged as the best means of keeping our children interested in the home and learn to work out the problem now confronting us. The dairying possibilities were discussed and the contract of the proposed dairy association for tho Western division made clear to all. A meeting for organization of the dairy interest was called for later. The Womens farm bureau was organized with Mrs. T. It. Blackburn as president and Mrs. Hayden Foster as vice president. Mrs. Ernest Eaton of Vernal gave a talk to the women on organization. The Uintah county fair this yeas , The report of the audit of the books by Messrs. Pack and Wahl-qui- st was accepted.

When our government expert (Mr. Lockwood) was here last summer, he was asked, When is the best time to fight grasshoppers?" and he answered, Right now! This statement was just another way of saying that in order to control grasshoppers one must keep up a continuous fight The question naturally arises, "What can be done now? It is known that grasshoppers deposit their eggs in clusters inclosed in sacks or "pods which hold the and eggs together from moisture changes in temperature until they are ready to be hatched.
