Farm Bureau Is Organized Here A group of farmers met at the courthouse some time ago and organized a farm bureau in Watauga county. The group elected the following men to serve for a period of three months: T. C. Baird, Valle Crucis, chairman; D. C. Coffey, Route 1, Boone, vice-chairman, and D. F. Greene, Sugar Grove, secretary and treasurer. Fifteen men joined the organization the day it was organized and it is said that a large number of new members have been added since that time. The farm bureau is a national farm organization that is run entirely by farmers. The dues are $3.00 a year. It is hoped that Watauga county can build a large membership so that the organizaaion can be of great help not only in the county but in the state and nation. Farmers are the only group in the nation that is poorly organized and if the farmers would organize they could accomplish a lot of things that cannot be obtained without strong organization. It is hoped that Watauga county can take the lead in showing farmers of North Carolina the value of farm organization. Another meeting will be called in the near future to explain the purposes of the farm bureau and it is hoped that a large number of farmers will attend and find out more about this organiza- j tion.
