FARM BUREAU NEWS OF THE May we urge that farmers wTho are eligible for a refund of the two cents on farm used olene make application at once as September 30 is the last day for filing application. Farm Bureau will be glad to assist in making these reports. This office has made an extended inquiry to find available hay in adjoining and nearby states. The outlook is not very favorable as the current supply in favored areas is being rapidly absorbed by surrounding and nearby drouth areas.

This means that areas where hay is available is so far distant that handling by truck is largely prevented and rail freight rates cost of hay almost preclude its use. However, the milling of cotton seed has just begun and there will be available hulls and cotton seed in quantities, wrhich will help some. Also there seems to be an abundant production of com and other grains in the grain producing areas, which will be available especially grain sorghum. A rather quiet campaign for membership is under way with reasonable results. members are being enrolled over the county.

Our annual meeting is approaching at which time officers and some directors will be selected.
