It proposes to put every willing worker in the harness for commun ity team work. A common way of expressing the lSea Is to say "The farm bureau u huM up around a community program of work." This really means that there has been an intelligent analysis of the local diffi culties that may be overcome "by xa. frnrc nri thai. om per- son has been specifically charged with, the responsibility of local lead ership in connection with each piece of work to be undertaken. ; '. The extension service of the Oregon ABricuUural college cites the case of the Aiaea community, m Benton county, as on of theoest Illustrations ot the way in which the farm bur eau erva the local community. -Along" last winter the Alsea people ; were gotten togettier fh initiative of George W. Ka- bla. the Benton cosnty agr cultural syant, for a three days' agricultural school. This was concluded by the aSop tion of a program of work .consisting oZ seven distinct project each led by a local person ia whom the people had con fidence. . 2TAMES GIVEJT v ' These projects, with the names of the leaders and goals set under each project, are as follows: v ' ,.

Ill MEMBERS ENROLLED for example.: 119 members had been enrolled in the bureau and the valley claims only 114 farms. Therefore, the 75 per cent enrollment had been exceeded. Likewise, the bull association had been organized and two bulls had been pur chased. More than v the : additional 20 registered cows had already been se cured. The acreage of corn for silage purposes and the number of new silos had been "pledged. The possibility of establishing a local, cannery had been determined ; : arrangements had been made for the establishment of agricul tural work In the Alsea high school un der the Smith-Hughes acti the children had been measured to locate any cases 'of underdevelopment ; a millinery school had been held and about 18 hats had been retrlmmsd. . - , 1 The average Oregon county would ".divide,, naturally. Into about 15 to 20 communities. It is impossible to or ganize and direct more than six or eight l year and give the supervision and as sistance necessary to keep the communi ty committees active and (working.. ,It requires, therefore, a few years to com pletely organize a county on a sound, "working farm bureau basis-p; It ,1s con- sidered best, however to proceed 116 -more rapidly than is consistent with se urine eood systematic work. It Is felt that one of the greatest -weaknesses of farmer- organization movements has been a lack of a definite program that Is, vital to people at home.
