Prwpfw?i*e cultural Program in Thi* Stale j Addressing a letter to a recent meeting of the Martin County Farm Bureau. R Flake Shaw. President of the North Carolina Farm Bureau, reviewed the work of the organiza tion and offered some good sugges tions, as follows As co-workers in the Farm Bur eau. we desire to call yo^r attention to a few of th? past accomplishments and some of the objectives of the North Carolina Farm Bureau H not been for the active farm bur eau leadership in this State urging the necessity of changing tin date for calling tin referendum on quota allotments, you probably would not be celling tobacco at this time, in view of the fact that the national law was so drawn that it had to be amended bcfor? a referendum couAd be called early in the year. This, along with the amendment dealing with the penalty on bootleg tobacco, will probably mean several million dollars to the farmers of North Caro lina In addition to these two outstand ing pieces of legislation, you will al so note that on February 4th.

Mr O'Neal fur ther states that if we had had two million members in the National Farm Bureau Federation instead of four hundred thousand, we would probably be receiving $27.50 in stead of the above mentioned figure. With these successful accomplish inentsT we feel that every farmer should be inspired to join a general crusade to carry out the purpose of -Section 303. Page 25 in our national farm law which section was written by the Farm Bureau. It specifically states that if aiid when Congress makes the money available, w e shall receive parity prices In our nation today, we are stag ing a great national defense program wrtb which all the fanners and Farm Bureau members fully concur, real izing at the same time that it will probably mean considerable ad vances m prices of practically all the manufactured goods we have to buy.

So, thankfully, the world heard, on that day the echo of the armistice of the great World I War We recall the excitement and j frantic celebrations that followed, tin unrestrained jubilance that proad over the world and most joy fully did the U.

The anticipation of seeing loved ones, of the return to homes | and families swept the nation's emu lions high. "Cease firing" were the I most cherished words of 1918 and f could be the of 1940 Britain Takes Most Of (J. S. Exports A sobering thought amid current | upswinging is seen in figures show ing that British Empire took nearly two thirds of .our total of $295,000, 000 in merchandise exports for Sep tember. It reminds us that, although j our over-all exports for first three quarters of 1940 are 37 per cent ahead of 1939, tln> fact remains we have lost such customers as Belgium, Netherlands, France. Germany, Den mark. Norway. Sweden. Italy Switz erland and Poland Also, of those sales we still are able to make to the rest of the world, about two-fifths j have come to be in the category of war materials?not what you could call an enduring, nor an endearing | business Meanwhile, the terrific pace jor crops piling up. it is exceeding specially in the South, build a much j stronger organization than we have previously had This statement can .easily be justified by the more lib eral loans in tin1 wheat and corn belt sections of the United States where they do have much stronger farm organizations than have ever been developed in tin1 South. Labor has the highest wage scale and the shortest hours they have ever had, due to recent federal leg islation, the so-called Wages and Hour law. to which the farmers did not object Industry is protected to the extent of sixteen billion dollars annually in tariff protection and other legislative means of support. These accomplishments for labor and industry have come about by or ganized effort on the part of labor and industry, and if agriculture ever receives its fair share of the nation al income along with lator and in dustry. we. too, must organize in [numerical strength of membership comparable with labor and mdus t ry Finally, we come to the heart of the whole situation. The farmer's dollar today, generally speaking, is only worth about 50 to 70 per cent in purchasing power of what it was 25 years ago. Summarizing all of these facts, and concurring with the leadership of our state, from the governor down through the dean of agriculture, the AAA. Soil Conservation, Rural Elec trification. Farm Security and our highly esteemed editor of the Pro gressive Farmer, Dr. Clarence Poe, it u unanimously agreed that if North Carolina is to hold her place along with other progressive southern states, who have exceeded us by such great majorities in farm organ ization. that it is absolutely impera tive for the farmers of North Caro lina, along with the help of the lead jng business and professional men, to work for one common purpose ? to build for our State a more perma nent and progressive agricultural program?and in doing so, it is gen erally accepted that no better source can be found than the complete or-, gamzation of our different counties in farm bureau wo^, of the present buying bv our one big. good customer, the Empire, is1 using up assets that otherwise would i let her continue as a valuable cus tomer after the war.
