Is receiving from almost the entire public. The Board had been wrestling ivith the question of how to move the farm crops to the mar ket .with as many cars and trucks needing tires and gas with so few and so little to supply the need. The club plan was adopted In the spirit of solving this prob lem. The Board took the view If it could get citizens in each community to haul for 10 to 20 farmers it would be replacing 10 to 20 trucks or trailers with one. By this means it is expected lo get all the crops to-market i?' limit for advantageous sale. The Board felt that the people wDtitd" Hpprectate its posttton ami cooperate and it is gratifying to Bee the extent to which this co nperatlon is being extended. Of course the Board expects all who sign the agreements to live up to them and it Is going to be as liberal as possible with those who agree to do the hauling. The Board is not contemplating to have to turn down anyone for; gas or tires for not having his crops hauled by another, nor to call in and cancel any gas card or take possession of any tires granted for this purpose by any-' one w fro I'pfH ?-'eg To ITVe u p to his; contract to haul. "The Board appreciates the tine spirit in which the plan Is being received and feels that It will work to the benefit of all." said Chairman J. L. Brown. ' MISS VIVERETTE V/EDS T. W.
