lut habits are difficult to overcome, and the habit of individ-
uansin in the American fanner, the natural aversion to surrenderinu
toe slightest scintilla of his cherished independence, has been and is
today the most serious obstacle to progress along these improved
economic lines.
The Mail Tribune believes that a large and well organized Farm
i.ureau in Jackson county is not only a necessary medium of business
".ettcrment for the farmer, but by improving the condition of the
farmer, will improve the material conditions of the community as a
whole. This is essentially an agricultural country, and will so long
remain. Whatever benefits the farmer benefits everyone.
This paper therefore is glad" to give its liearty-support to this cam
paign, and will do everything within its power to make it a com
plete success.

Ily A. t Joy, President.
Five years ao it was my privilege
to F-rve as president of a new farm
institution, the fim Farm Bureau in
Oregon. I find upon taking up the
work now thai I have a different task

Then we were fimply a body of pa

part of a ureal state organization and
through the state we make op a unit
In the Federal Farm bureau.
As a onunty we have accomplished

agencies that are bringing many extra
dollars to Oregon farmer?;, as a na

There is a large fi Ul itofore us and
there is but one thing for the Jack

plan to- make the year I3 a year

Jackson county farmers. We plan to
work from the ground up.
We have planned this Farm Bureau
week for a better Jackson county.
We ask that you read carefully the
articles that will appear each day on
the subject of Farm Burc&u work and
we feel sure that you will be con
vinced when, the we.-k. is over that
the movement is. worthy of your support.

Considerable attention will be
given the organization of calf, pi?
and corn clubs and Jackson county
should rate high in these three clubs.
Many of the boys and girls of Med
frd and Ashland, where it is dif
ficult to kep calves and impossible to
keep pigs are anxious to take rabbit.

Any hoys or girls interested in dairy
work v.i',1 have a wonderful opportu
nity in taking the dairy. herd record

the milk, butter-fat and feed records
of at li a.'d two cows for a period of
six months and the scoring- of four
dairy" cows and two dairy barns.
There is no reason why every com
munity it: the county could not nnd
should not have a dab of some na
ture. If your district docs bettt-r with

parents cr community leaders help
the young foiks get started with a
dairy or beef ciub, a pig club, a sheep
or goat club?
Or if your district raises good corn
or potatoes and most pans of Jack
son county do. if vegetables do well
and the girls want to take the canning
project such clubs can be started at
once. I
Yesterday's Oregonian told some-!
thing of the club movement in the!

awarded trips to the world s fair at j
Pan Francisco, and how two boys :
