The first meeting 'in the ,serles'ot
organization meetings for the Klam
ath County Farm Bureau being held
by the organization committee .was
at Bonanza last evening. There was
a good attendance and much interest
was shown in the development ot
a urogram of agricultural extension,
work for that community lor the
coming year.
Tho problem of immediate inter
est before the meeting was the or
ganization of a systematic campaign
for the control of the jack rabbit
pest. Several plans were discussed.
and it seemed to be the opinion ot
most of those present that the only
practical way to handle this mat tec.
was to put on a systematic poison
campaign, nnanceu on an acreage
basis.
M. J .Lytie was chosen chairman
of the committee in charge of this,
work. He will secure the assistance
of a number of men scattered over
the territory and they will shortly
present a plan to the people with
estimates of cost, etc., of the cam- -palgn.
Five other projects of work
were outlined by those present and,
chairmen of committees for each
were chosen as follews:
Squirrel control, F. J. Bowne;
farm bureau exchange, Chas. Flack,-
us; poultry management, Mrs. Hil "
dah Johnson; field demonstration,
H. M. Daniels; irrigation methods,
Jacob Rueck.
At the close of the meeting the
chairmen of the various committees
held a meeting and selected F. J,
Bowne" as chairman of the Farm Bu
reau committee of District No. 2,
which comprise Bonanza, Dairy and,
Hildebrand.' Next week threo more'
