FARM BUREAUS
In a spirit for ourselves and
an attitude of genuine satis
faction farmers and business
men throughout the country are
expressing their appreciation
of the work done by Farm
Bureaus wherever these organ
ization have been established.
One act alone that Farm
Bureaus have been instrumen
tal in putting over is worthy
of their organization ? the
' forming of cooperative market
ing associations. In starting
soil building programs in every
county, Farm Bureaus are also
doing a great constructive
work of much value to every
farmer. Membership in the
Farm Bureau being a family
proposition, one can expect
some real accomplishments
along specialized lines such as
better preparation, more
thorough cultivation, more live
stock and legislation favorable
to the furtherance of agricul
ture and its needs.
It is well known N that those ,
who are not members of the I
? Farm Bureau have been bene
fited by it. They have not
benefited to the extent of the
members but as in every other
case the co-operative associa
tion has raised the price level i
and the outsider profited there- |
by. They have received bet- 1
ter grades, lower interest rates |
on money borrowed, and nearer
the market price for their pro
ducts. To these things the
thousands of members will
testify.
The good done by the Farm
Bureaus is only a drop in the
bucket to what remains for
them to do and what they will i
do. The farmer is soon to j
come into his own. Organiz- j
ation is the force which will ;
place him there. The business ,
man is not the farmer's enemy j
for the farmer must prosper in I
order that the business man
may make money. It's a get
together proposition and as
sociation means friendship and
understanding, two mighty ;
strong factors in themselves.
A better, era is just ahead. But !
every farmer must do his part
to reap the full benefits.
