THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND., FRIDAY, JAN. 12, 1923. PAGE ELEVEN UNION COUNTY FARM BUREAU RANKS HIGH FOR GAINS ACHIEVED highlights in Union county farming. Her letter follows: "The first farmer was the first man and all historic nobility rests on possession and use of land," says Emerson. The farmer is slowly but surely coming into his own, and Union county fanners have not been' slow to see the advantages to ge gained by "getting into the swim." Our Farm Bureau has been given honorable mention, as being one of the moet flour large number of members were obtained last August when two girls in the county, Mildred Little and Claribelle Ammerman, competed for the priae of a two weeks course at the Home Economics School at-the state keting committee, which has bought - feed, twine, fertilizer, tankage, etc., at a considerable saving. The thing Union county farmers 'are interested in, however, is not the buying end as much as the selling, and when we can market as well a3 we can produce, we will have accomplished a great deal. Neither is production our problem just now, any more than it is always a problem to produce an article which can be sold at a profit. Our county is made up of an intelligent bunch of farmers, who understand pretty thoroughly the value of proper fertiliza tion, which takes in Preble and Butler counties in Ohio, also Wayne, Fayette and Union counties in Indiana, had its beginning in Union county and its officials are Union county men. A tour to J. Robbins and son's farm at Horace, Indiana, was taken last July and the annual shorthorn sale was held in Liberty in October. This was a fairly successful event, everything considered. "At the annual meeting, held on January 6, Sam Ewing, of Liberty was elected president for the coming year. A calf club is planned, a tour and another sale for 1923. We have an active Duroc association, which is headed by the well known hog man, Bruce fullen and president, E. C. Little, also a veteran in the business. The Big Type association sale was held at the farm of Homer Lafuze, who is also a well known breeder. Other pure bred hog men. who held sales were Creek Bros., Roy Carson and Enoch Maze. We have in Union county a poultry and fruit farm of wide reputation. A. A. .Graham, just south of Liberty, has made an interesting success of hi3 business, which is to produce better apples, better eggs and chickens than tha other fellow. A poultry field day w'aa held at Mr. Graham's place last fall which was widely attended from surrounding counties. Mr. Graham has a place it would pay anyone to visit. our two best Jersey breeders. Mr. Lamar's place was featured" in the Farmers Guide just a few month ago, as po doubt many people will Remember. Mr. DriscbL produces country butter' which is famous for it quality within a considerable radius of miles. He supplied the Hotel Sinton at Cincinnati, for years, with all the butter used there. We have one fully equipped dairy farm, operated by Dwight Tappen. This farm is located one-half mile east of Liberty. Mr. Tappen specializes in Holstelns. And so you see, Union county is purely agricultural, but with variations. We are insignificant viewed as to size, but "bx our fruits, ye shall Judge us." fair. They made such a good showing j and worked so well that in the end, both girls were given the opportunity to go. , We consider the township unit most important and encourage monthly meetings to be held in each community In this way a great 4eal of formerly concealed talent has been uncovered, as the entertainment i3 furnished in almost every case by local people. Mrs. Cecil Irwin of Liberty, assistant secretary of the Union County Farm Bureau, W ith headquarters in County Agent Campbell's office, writes ka brief synopsis of recent happenings and the events of the year in farm circles in Union county. She also interestingly, tells of the aims of the association", in general, the plana for the coming year, and brings out the ishing in the state, ranking well to ward the top in percentage of mem bership. Just at the present time, we are tion, crop' rotation, and all the other engaged in a membership drive, which we trust will give us a large increase. This drive, however, is "more in the nature of a clean-up campaign, as a tricks of trade.
