The committee on the experiment farm for the Uintah Basin reported much activity and that things look favorable for the securing of the same, even the state legislature policy was to retrench along all lines. THE UINTAH BASIN FARMER was made the official organ of the Uintah county farm bureau and each local is to take steps to secure new subscriptions for it and the secretaries of each local to report happenings and business of farm bureau locals. The Uintah State Bank made a liberal offer of $50 to be given for boys and girls club work in the county if a like amount was given The offer was by the farm bureau. The purpose was to accepted. arouse a keener interest in the club work and that every local would have a greater desire to put the work over. A committee consisting of A. Theodore Johnson, Merrell Henry and E. Peterson was appointed to gather data on the possibilities of shipping eggs to outside markets and also the best means of handling them. They will report at an early date. . HOW TO SOLVE A COOPERATIVE EFFORT in- vestigators into the difficult situation in which the farmer now finds himself are agreed that lack of ineffort is telligent, loyal, at the bottom of much of his trouble.

In view of the figures given above the committee feels that this effort has been a decided success and that Western division members may congratulate themselves on having received considerably more than would have been the case except for their effort. Furthermore, there is little question but that the price of turkeys in the Basin was held at a higher level than would have been the case but for their us always remembers this, when we sell turkeys, seed, cream or other products cooperatively we in a very large measure fix our prices for our products, but when we sell individually the buyer always fixes the price for us. It is only by cooperative effort that we can expect to secure what is coming to us. F. O. LUNDGERG, RICHARD FIDLER.
