Show president, and N. B. Dresser, secretary treasurer. This central body Is made up of the presidents of the various local organisations. Ixjcal organisations organisa-tions have not yet been formed at all places. There ahould be one on the north and one on the south tract and perhaps the Water Users' Associations of these localities could serve as such or select men to act as representatives representa-tives on the central organisation. A committee consisting of tbe pi evident, vice-president and secretary was appointed ap-pointed to draft by-laws for the central cen-tral body and the local organisations can then draft their by-laws In conformity con-formity with these. The purpose of the Farmers' Union Is to promote In every way practicable the agricultural Interests of this locality, to co-operate with the State and county farm demonstrator and Institute workers In working out problems of Interest and benefit to the farmer, to buy and sell farm products, farm Implements and supplies, real estate, es-tate, live stock, etc., to conduct regular regu-lar and special meetings for the discussion dis-cussion of questions of Interest to tbe farmers, and generally promote the Interests In-terests of tbe farmers. The demonstrator expecta to visit the farmers In the various localities and to hold meetings with them whenever when-ever It is deemed advisable and this work the local organisations are expected ex-pected to look after. Th local organization or-ganization at Hinckley has already got busy and Is handling live atock and real estate for the farmers In that section. If you have anything In these lines to buy or sell, let the Sucre-tary, Sucre-tary, P. . Peterson, know. This local lo-cal has also ordered 600 bushels of first-class seed potatoes from Idaho, which farmers can have by sending In their orders to the secretary. They will not be more thaa 60c per bushel. In this connection Dean Peterson, of the agricultural department of the Millard Academy, desires the Chronicle Chroni-cle to warn the f armeri against buy: lag samejecS potaloea" that were sot 4QWT."rp ' v-fc L: - TTT s y Aey ar kffJ7fwUUul-ease kffJ7fwUUul-ease whir renders them uufil for seed.

The central organization is also figuring fig-uring on getting In a car of barb-wire barb-wire fencing. If enough orders can be secured. A considerable saving can be effected by buying direct In car-'.orid lota. A spool of 80 rods weighs a'.out 60 pounds and a car-load lot Is 3fl,000 pounds, so orders for about 600 spool would be required. It would probabl) cot about $2.25 a spool laid down Send In your requisition to the sec rotary and the Union will see what can be done. In a letter to President Keevt Manager Holmgren, of the Fanners Cash Union of Tremonton states tha' their Union has bandied 200 carload; a year In and out of the valley foi their farmers. They buy buggies wagona and farm machinery dlree from the manufacturers. He statet that they have helped organize slml lar associations among the farmers In Malad City, Weston and Clarkson dur ing the past year. He aays confidence is tbe chief asset and without It nc system or organization will satisfy the farmer. There Is no reason why a farmers' organization should not be as successful In Millard County a elsewhere. Its success will depend en tlrely upon the farmer himself. FARMERS MEET DEMONSTRATOR !
