We thought of calling it a board of trade, then chamber of commerce and othre things all of which did not convey the mean ing we wanted it to havt. Then farm bureau came along and e cried to find out what this organization proposed to do for the farmer and it has been a hard job; because it is so elastic that anything that is nec essary to be done or that farmers and business men want done in the county can be done through it. - It is not a secret orranization. neither is much the matter. , To begin to deal with the situation, most Polk comity ', and is deficient in humus or decom posed vegetable matter.
