The Farmers Will Help Themselves they have and giving notes for the balance, shares to be $26 each, these notes will be placed in a local bank as security on wnlch to raise sufficient money to get the wire. Should this prove successful it is the intention to put in a tele phone system on the same plan. Mrs. Gray discouraged the bounty plan and showed that this is already a burden on predatroy animals with no appreciable de crease in them, or at least figures would indicate such to be the case. She had figures to show that during the first year this bounty was paid, from June 7, 1909 to the same date the follow ing year this county paid out $4911: for the corresponding period for the post year it was $9108.60. A meeting has been called at the Valley View grange next Saturday, Feb. 28, to complete this organization and arrange to order the fence. The Times Herald is pleased to note this disposition among the farmers to help themselves in such matters and holies to see it a success. We have not considered that a bounty on rabbits would bring any relief and would be a very expensive experiment. In fact the writer has stated it would be less expense and more practical for the county to buy the fence rather than place a bounty on rabbits. Stockholders Meeting.
