The aeoond annual meeting of the
herama Oeunty Farm Bureau, held
Thursday, November l i s t a t the Court
House, was attended by a large and
Interested representation of the lead­
ing farmers of the county. Plana tor
a oomprehenaive sad practical, pro­
mt of agricultural Improvement
were laid which will be vigorously ad
vanoed by committees of the F arm
Bureau working with the amlstanee
of County Agent Calkins. Special at­
tention wan Riven to projects aimed
toward the stabilization of ranching
la the period following the war, when
it Is expected that wheat prices w ill
ho considerably reduced*
A. H. Barnum, chairman of the Farm
Bureau Committee on Livestock Im ­
provement, brought before the mem­
bers the desirability of community
breeding for the Improvement of live­
stock of a ll kinds In the county. I t
was the concensus of opinion of those
present that although livestock raising
la not a t present a great Industry In
the county It is very probable that In
the next few years there w ill be in­
creased interest in thia phase of farm ­
ing and that. In any event there Is no
w h ^ p h a t livestock la main-
should not ha of the beat prac­
ticable breeding, thereby making Sher­
man county known among buyers of
breeding stock as a county where a
uniformly good quality of stock could
be obtained. M r. Barnum advanced
the plan of community ownership of
good sires and the kséplng of only
pure bred stuff even though the num­
ber m ight ba. small. The Farm Bu­
reau adopted the community breeding
plan as a project to be given attention
and It la probable that community
meetings w ill be held during the win
tor to determine the breeds of stock
