FARMERS WANT
COUNTY AGENT
Members of the Marlon county
farm bureau, in session Saturday
at the chamber of commerce, came
out Btrongly In favor of the ap
polntment by the county court of
a county farm agent.
Several years ago when efforts
; were made to secure for Marlon
county, a county agent, farmers
were not in general all lined up In
favor of an agent. It was thought
at the time that when farmers
were unanimously In favor of the
work done by a county agent, the
county court could be prevailed to
make the appointment.
The next meeting of the farm
bureau will'be held some time in
January. At the meeting Satur
day, it was decided to put on a
membership campaign to bring
the Marlon county membership up
to 700. Sidney Miller of Wood
burn is president of the Marion
county organization, and H. G.
King of Salem, . route 6, vice
president. SUPERIfjTOW0F
