COUNTY
OF
COUIiCIL 15 PERFECTED
"The object of the County Council
is to act in an advisory capacity to
the County Agriculturist. This fact
must be apparent to all, that the
views of a dozen or more progressive
farmers representing all pai-ts of tho
county, are more valuable than that
of any one of them as to the most
important problems of the county.
The fact that we have local problems
may not be apparent to those who
have not given the matter serious
thought. The ills of Agriculture the
same as those of human beings can
not be cured or properly cared for if
the individual case is not taken into
consideration. Blanket prescriptions
will not do, because potatoes are
oprayed in New York and the potato
crop saved does not mean that we
must do like wise. Sudan Grass is
a great crop in the Southwest but it
does not mean that it will thrive
under field conditions here. Parts of
our county can grow tomatoes, other
parts can barely grow potatoes;
some of us can mature corn each year,
ethers can only grow it for fodder.
Silos are used extensively where corn
is largely grown. Under your con
ditions you may not be able to grow
corn, so you say that you have no ;
use for a silo. Yes we have local j
problems and by getting together we
are better able to determine ourj
local and county troubles. Further, j
by getting together, we determine j
which are our important and which '
are our minor problems and together i
wc plan our methods of solving our
county questions. I
"Also when questions arise or a
condition exists upon which the ;
County Agriculturists is uncertain as
to the best method of procedure, a '
meeting of the Council may be called
and some definite action taken. In
ether words the farmers of the county
can direct the lines along which they
wish work done in an Agricultural
way by the County Agriculturist.
"Thursday October 26 the first
meeting of the County Council was
held in the County Agriculturists
office in the Federal building. This
meeting was meerly preliminary to

Appeul for Poland.
New York, Nov. 8. (Special)
Monday, Nov. 6 a memorial regarding
Polish Relief was presented to the
President at Shadow Lawn by Rev.
, Charles S. Macfarland, General Secre
i tury of the Federal Council of the
i Churches of Christ in America, and
Mr. Ignnce J. Padercwski.
The memoriol which has been
signed by representatives of the Pro
testant, Roman Catholic and Jewish
faiths is as follows:
The President of the United States,
Executive Offices, Asbury Park, New
Jersey, Sir: Your petitioners learn,
with deep regret, that satisfactory ar
rangements hnve not yet been secured
with the European powers, whereby
the people of America may render, out
cf their abundance, adequate assist
ance to the suffering peoples of Po
land.
We express our grateful recogni
tion of the earnest appeal which you
made in behalf of our brothers and
sisters in this devasted region, as we"
as your recent efforts to open tho
doors for the fullest relief for these
Innocent sufferers.
While the appalling need of these
people is so great, we believe that the
relief as yet offered by the American
people has been sadly incommensur
ate, in part because of the difficulty
in conveying help.
While it is possible now for the
American people to transmit money,
wo believe that gifts would be incora
parbly increased by this means as
well as by others, if the opportunity
for rendering all kinds of assistance
were mode possible.
The American people honor the
memory of Kosciuszko, Pulaski, and
other names which are dear to oar
hearts, and all that we can do is but
the paying of a debt which we owe
rather than an expression of philan
thropy. We, therefore, desire the
fullest opportunity for rendering this
recompense to a people whose history
is one of brave suffering.
We believe that we express the feel
ings and utter tht vice of the great
bodies of American people with which
we are connected, and of all the peo
ple, in urging that in every legitimate
way, you seek to resume and continue
your good offices with the government
of Europe, in the effort to obtain ac
cess for the help which we believe our
people may yet be persuaded to ren
der. (Signed)
John Cardinal Farley, Archbishop
of New York.
