occasion to compile n hat of halton farm organizations to our nmuteinvnt wo listed j5 nnd we may have over looked some we ure now begin ning to realize why so much of our time is taken up with meetings to file point where we find it impos sible to get out and make farm calls as we used to do one would hardly think that n little county like halton needed that many individual farm organiza tions and yet as we looked over the list it would take a wiser and brav er man than yours truly to suggest which ones should be eliminated wc couldnt help but wonder though if the multiplicity of farm organizations mightbe one of the reasons why in some organizations they seem to have increasing diffi culty in getting folk to accept office- bunny hare recalls stories of early days recently we
