Each farmer in Adams county ! should think seriously concerning thc 3 advantages of organization, and it . may be said that a great many are vitally interested in farmers’ organizations. This is due perhaps in a 3 great measure to conditions during . the last two years. Farmers have re--1 reived for their products a fair profit above the cost of production dur--3 ing this timo and it has not been the j case in past years. Farmers as a rule 3 really made a reasonable profit off a their crops and live stock which may have been due to abnormal economic I conditions, but what has the future in s store for the farmers.? Fanners '• pt a resent the one big business which has I no organization and in many cases nc forceful representative as compared [. with other business interests. a The time is certainly here for a j strong working organization of farm r ers in this county. Let us get together and formulate a better farm a ing organization. To do this we 9 should have a large number of farm ers present and get together on a s common ground, thereby making it possible for us to get a good organ! i, zation working which may- be carried c as far as the farmers desire. It is a recognized fact among farmers that 3 they should organize but no one seems to care to promulgate such a { movement. Therefore let us get toa gether next Wednesday, Feb. 26, at 3 10 a. m. at Decatur and perfect a real live farmers organization. RememIxjr the date and watch for further announcements. J. R. MEEKS, I County Agricultural Agent. "the EMPLOYMENT BILL (United Press Service) Indianapolis, Feb. 22—The StrodeVanAuken free employment service bill under consideration in the upper branch of the legislature is regarded as the first, reconstruction bill introduced at the present session of the legislature. Tho measure provides for cooperation of the state and federal governments in obtaining employ-! ment and rehabilitating discharged and wounded soldiers returning to Indiana. Under the provisions of the bill the Indiana Free Employment service is ( divided into five sections, each car-' Ing for special phases of the work in-, voiced. These sections are: (1) Men’s section: (2) Women’s section; (3) Farm labor section; (4) Soldiers’ and Sailors' section, and (5) Junior section. The first two sections will obtain employment for men and women who have not. been in military service. The third section will deal with all; agricultural employment problems and) the fourth section will provide em-[ ployment and provide for training, men who are unable to return to. former occupations, because of having been disabled, or for other reasons, while in military service during the war. The Junior section will devote its attention largely to the vocational' guidance work of the youths of In-1 diana, eighty per cent of whom never' attend high school, according to Carl Fritchie, state agent of the U. S. Department of Labor, who recently conducted an investigation along these Ijnes throughout Indiana. o TRY A CLASSIFIED AD.
