The call from state and county rffmals of the organization and from others interested in the welfare of the farmer was that there in need more than ever for the farmer to organize so that their collecti''e voice may he heard more distinctly and to greater advantage than in the past. E. E. Hendricks of Lewiston, president of the county farm bureau, presided at the luncheon at which about 150 men were present. That the agricultural communities of the west have the highest type of agriculturists who have ever existed, was the statement of Ward C. Holbrook, pres- ident of the Utah State Farm Bureau Federation. He told of the unexcelled heritage and the educational advantages of the farmers of Utah, although he chided the farmers for not using to the best advantage the training they have received. Especially did he score the farmers for their laxness to join hands in organization to fight for the best interests of themselves. He showed how the members of the various professions, such as lawyers, doctors, to say nothing of the labor groups, form themselves into unions which are contantly fighting for the best interests of its members. These organizations get what they want because they have plenty of money with which to fight. President Holbrook praised the various cooperatives for remaining true to the Farm Bureau, and stessed the fact that all of the various farm interests must use the farm bureau as the on Page Four) Russ Fail In Attack On Finns LONDON, Dec. 19 (L'Pi Three more Bntiah trawlers were bombed from the air and machine-gunne- d by German planes today.
