FARM BUREAU -

HOLDS ANNUAL PICNIC SUNDAY

many atteni ed and en-

joyed GOOD PROGRAM AT ROBE-ANN PARK

The annual Putn«m County Farm Bureau picnic was held in the Robe Ann Park Sunday afternoon with a good attendance. The meeting was opened by Gen® Ozment, county president. Ever-

Roland Nickerson and son. Clov- ! c tt Wallace gave the blessing.

The Reelsville high school band, under the direction of their leader, Mr. Jones, gave a musical program during and after ie

dinner.

George Harvey, director of research of the State Farm Bureau, was the speaker. He stressed the importance of township and county meeting for the remainder of the year when the township Farm Bureaus will all take up the matter of the future policy of the State and National Farm Bureaus. It is in these meetings that the future policies of the Bureau will be worked out determined. He said the present economy of the nation is “ixceptionally good, but the farm income i£ down. He said only 13% per cent of the people are engaged in commercial agriculture now, where as in some nations as high as 90 per cent follow farm-

ing.

Mr. Harvey outlined what he termed roadblocks to a higher farm income. He mentioned soil banks, which he said could not exist, because there is no such thing ,as depositing soil and getting it back when needed. He said on»> plan had been proposed to keep acreage out of production when a surplus has been produced, but it will be expensive. He said the same thing about parity programs. He said another had been proposed to allow the small farmer more leeway as to being regimented into controls than the larger farmer. Another important piece of policy, is the matter of water regulation. He said something must be done about water and

soon.

Another was the matter of assesments cm personal property. He said farmers are assessed at about 70 per cent of the real value, while business firms enjoy c much lower assessment. He said many things about these I ihings, and they will al be worked out in the township meetings to be held in September. The zinnia show and the hobby handicraft shows were held during tiie meeting and suitable awards were made.
