Farmers' exchange launched in Yellowstone county
The Yellowstone county farm bureau starts a farmers' exchange to clear and trade seed feed and livestock. Brossard mails 3000 blank cards for farmers to list items to sell or buy, files kept in the county agent's office, and members may contact to obtain goods. The plan aims to reduce transport costs and waste, with updates to stay current. The concept originated at Bozeman's experiment station and has seen success in other counties. Berlin's league for Kaiser liberty appears in a brief aside.
