NOTES OF FARMERS’ CLUBS

I Ed. J. Randle of Rensselaer has I been appointed silo leader for Jas--1 per county. He has been summoned to attend a state silo conference .held in Indianapolis April 25, where I plans for the silo drive will be out- . lined by the Indiana committee on food production and conservation. I The work of Mr. Randle will be .done in co-operation with the Better Farming association, county i agent, food committee, and the county council of defense. In anI ticipation of the meeting, Maurice Douglas, state leader in the silo campaign, said: I “The need for silos in Indiana was never so great as at the present time. Last year more than 6,000 silos were erected in the state. The nation’s need ifor more economical use of livestock feeds demands that Indiana erect not less ’than 10,000 silos in 1918. As county leader in this highly important I phase of . the food program, Mr. I Randle has an important part to fill, and one which presents an opportunity for rehl service not only to the nation and the state, but to , the farmers of Jasper county.” West Carpenter Farmers’ Club Meeting Postponed On account of the big patriotic meeting at Rensselaer Friday evening, April 19, the regular April meeting of the West Carpenter I Farmers’ cluib will be postponed. The committee in charge deems the’ event to be of sufficient im- | portance that every one In the county should attend.
