“Editor Herald:—As a special
agent of the Department of Ag-
riculture, the same who visited
your town frequently last year,
I want to ask you to advertise a
farmers meeting for me in your
town Saturday March 11th at
2:30 p. m. I want to meet all
the representative farmers of
the Carbon country and address
them on cotton culture under
the Department plan and meth-
od. W. E. Keeble,
Special Agt.”
The above is part of a letter
we received from Mr. Keeble
this week, and we urge that as
many farmers as possible come
to this meeting. It will surely
do you no harm, but information
from the Agricultural Depart-
ment should be very interesting.
