Epsom Farmers Meet Each Monday Night Thirty-five farmers of the Ep som community met in the local agricultural building Monday night, Jan. 25, 1943, to/ attend 4he initial session of ax series of nine meetings whi^h have been arranged by the 1943 Evening Class Advisory Committee. Mr. J. T. CW'iffin, local agricul tural teacher, spoke on "The Flag Is pn The Plow" which was designed to strtrw the- importancei of food production in 1943. Aj panel discussion was also con-; ducted on current topics and farm problems, Mi'. L. O. Frazier, an Evening Class member, took; away the first offerings in a "Prize giving War Bond buying campaign" which the group is sponsoring as a special feature in the 1943 pro gram. Mr. Frazier cried the first and last bid on one dozen1 girl champion plow points that were donated by J. Ira Weldon, which was $500.00 worth of War Bonds and $125.00 worth of War Bonds respectfully. The idea in this campaign is to secure local prizes free of cost and sell same at auction each time the class meets. The buyer merely pledges his bid in War Bonds or War Stamps, and there fore the seller xeteives no cash. The Class goal is $1,000.00 for the year in Bonds or Stamps. The advisory committee which Is composed of the following men have arranged a program that' will last for nine weeks and the general theme is Food Produc tion: Mr. W. A. Rowland, Mr. J. K7 Weldon, Mr. G. W. Eaves, Mr. George Robertson and Mr. W. J. Bowen.
