s -f.V.-s f I i I i i i ^^1 I i? $ S» V THE BUREAU WHAT PEOPLE WHO KNOW SAY ABOUT FARM BUREAU Clyde R. Hoey “I am serving on the Com mittee on Agriculture and For estry and, therefore, am direct ly concerned with all of the pro blems relating to Agriculture. You may be interested to know that our whole committee relies very strongly upon the recommendations made by the P’arm Bureau. We find that this Organization gives very earnest and intelligent consideration to farm problems and their recom mendations and testimony be fore oiir Committee are always most helpful in adopting our agricultural program. , I wish to commend the Farm Bureau for the farsighted policy it has adopted and for its leadr, ership in championing the cause of the farmers of the Nation. The cooperation of the North Carolina Farm Bureau Federa tion has been especially helpful and I have come to rely strong ly upon this Organization for both advice and support.”. E. Y. Floyd The Farm Bureau Federation is an organization continually fighting for the farmers—not only to see that they get their fair share of the consumers dol lar, but that they have, the nec essary laws to protect them in their business, the same as ot her business organizations. If farmers will think back over the brief period since 1933 and review how the Farm Bureau has grown and what it has done for them, there should be no question as to the value of the organization. There was never a truer statement than the one which says, “It Pays to Organ ize.” In the past farmers may have approved the organization and enjoyed the benefits, but if they want to protect their interest and continue to see it succeed, it will be necessary to join the organization and give' it their full support. Farmers are re spected when they become af- filated with an organization which maintains the fine records and high standards of living ad vocated by the Farm Bureau. J. M. Broughton I am interested to learn that your organization is preparing shortly to launch your annual membership drive in North Car olina. I express the hope that this drive will be completely successful and that by the epd of the year you will have not less than one hundred thousand » members in this state. The North Carolina Farm Bu reau Federation has had a vital part in building up the excellent farm program that now exists. Without the maintenance and ■ improvement of this program, the economic security of farm ers of North Carolina will be seriously impaired. Indifference from within and opposition from with out could seriously threat en this whole program. Only a strong Bureau with the support of a record membership ^could effectually cope with the problems that confront us. The whole parity program is now under review. The question of quotas, foreign markets and ot her matter of vital interest make it more important than ever to present a strong and u- nited front. It will be definitely in the in terest of the entire State of North Carolina for this coming drive to be the most successful in the history of the Bureau. I pledge my wholehearted co operation in helping to • bring this about. Senator Aiken Senator Aiken, Vermont, who has become the undisputed lead-. er of the farm forces in the pre sent Congress, had this to'say with reference to cur part in •putting acro‘;s the Long-Range Farm Bill. ''.If it hadn't been for the'support from the American . Farm Bureau Federatiort, we couldn’t have put this price sup port program over.” J. B. Hntson Mr. J. B. Hutson, President, Tobacco Associates, Inc., had this to say at the last Board of Directors Meeting in Raleigh on July 30th., 1948 at the Sir Walter Hotel. “I do not see how any farmer who grows tobacco could afford not to be a member of the Farm Bureau.” Monroe R. Redden No one knows better than iMembers of Congres.-. the valu able service, rendered to the ^i'armers of this State "by the Nortli Carolina Farm Bureau. I '.vas amazed and delighted m Iea;-n when I entered Con- .gre-s last year of the incessant efforts of the Farm Bureau to improve and expand the farm program. The Bureau sent'its efficient executives, and in some instances the dirt farmer himself, to appear before . the Agricultural Committee and ot her committees who were con ducting hearings on matters of peculiar interest to the farmer. The advice these men gave to the committees played a very ■ important part in shaping the farm program for the Nation. I feel sure the invaluable ser vice the North Carolina Farm Bureau renders in behalf of the farmer is appreciated by all who know of this activity I wish for you continued success in all of your endeavors. The following men are the chairman in your township. Help yourself by going to see them and not waiting for them to see you. Allendale J. W. Hasty Antioch •f J. L. Newton Blue Springs J. M.
