FARM BUREAUS 



The close relations with the farm bureaus has been maintained. 

 In every county but one maintaining a farm bureau, the institute 

 conferences have been held under the auspices of the farm bureau 

 manager. The managers have been very helpful, not only in 

 assisting to locate institutes, but in indicating the subjects that 

 shall be considered, and in awakening an interest and assisting at 

 the meetings. The various county projects have had a con- 

 (spicuous place on the program, and the managers have done much 

 to give the institute workers the true local viewpoint. 



As related in connection with cow-testing associations, the 

 cooperation of the farm bureaus has made possible the advance 

 work along this line. Five new bureaus have heen organized 

 during the year.
