Editor. Entered at the postoffice at Neosho, I as second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION $1 PER YEAR. The organization of farm clubs and 'county farm bureaus under the direction of the State Board of Agriculture promises more effective work for the benefit of the farmers themselves than similar organizations such as the Grange, Farmers' Unions, the past. Of course, results are yet to be accomplished but a good start has been made and if they will confine their operations to the production and marketing of the products of the farm we believe they will succeed.

The trouble with similar organizations heretofore has been that they tried to usurp and carry on cer- tain functions that they are not familiar with and that should be left to others. The consequence was that unscrupulous persons took advantage of them and wrecked the whole organization. Co-operation for greater production and better marketing is Uie central idea of the new farm club and it is bound to succeed if to. K. C.

A McGINTY'S COLUMN A bill that should be enacted promptly into law is that of Senator Sheppard of Texas, providing for a commission to determine what action is necessary to check growth of land- lordism. The bill creates a commission of three, consisting of the Secretary of Agriculture, -Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Labor. It is to be empowered to investigate every phase of the situation, find out why there is steady decline in the agricultural population, why farm tenancy is on the increase, why the proportion of homeowners is constantly becoming less, what must be done' to put a stop to this tendency, how to discourage holding of land for speculation instead of use, and other matters relating to the situation.

An investigation made by three members of the Cabinet together with their recommendations, can not be ignored so easily by Congress as the same facts and suggestions produced by less prominent investigators. REAL ESTATE. Robertson to W. M. Hagensicker, et al, pt hf nw 11-25-32; Byrd to A OBITUARY.
