FARM BUREAU HAS 

10th BIRTHDAY 

A large crowd of farmers and their wives gathered at Delmar on Monday, Nov. 23rd, in celebration of the 10th anniversary and the annual meeting of the Albany County Farm Bureau. Two tables were filled at dinner time. The sessions began in the morning and continued through the afternoon. The keynote of the day was the feeling that progress has been made in the last ten years in many ways, especially the bringing about of a general headquarters for agricultural interest in the county. The multitude of interests that center in the Farm Bureau office give a picture of the agriculture of the county. So many lines of work have been undertaken throughout the year that some have not even been mentioned in reports.
