American Women Are Taking Active
Interest in Farm Bureau Work
Reading from left to rieht: M
A. E. Brigden, Mrs. Ivtta Brown, Mrs. William G. Jttmison,
Mr;. Chis. C. Schuttler and Mrs. John C. Ketcham
FARM women everywhere are interested in the promotion of home and community projects within the
FarritJfsatt and are' awaiting with eagerness the leadership of the national Woman's Committee of
jfive wm?r (itf recently been appointed for the year 1922 by President J. R. Howard of the American Farm
bureau Federation.
The four totnniMeti -ho Were
members laatiJfakft."Inted- Mrs.
W. G. Jamison of La Veta, Coq., begins
work as a representative of the farm
women of the far west. "Mrs. Jamison's
father was a Christian minister and her
mother was a farm girl. She was educated
in the public schools of Kanis ( ity,
Moody's Bible School of Chicago and the
C ushing, Kans., Hospital. She has done
missionary work in China during the
Boxer Rebellion. She says:
"I have felt that staying home 'by the
tuft' and 'the flock,' says Mrs. Jamison,
"and letting 'Himself serve the A. K. B. Y .
these years is the third biggest work of my
life."
Mr. l.miiMin has been a member of the
committee of the American Farm Bureau
Federat ion.
"I have a strong conviction," she con
tinues, "that the place of greatest service
tor women in the Farm Rureau is in com
munity work. When the women take
hold of the Iocs work with the determina
tion to make it go, it will go, and continue
to go. I urge farm women to take an
ctiv interest in their local fa.rm bureau."
boesn't Want to be Pitied.
Mrs l7etta Brown of Kingwood, W?!
Virginia, who represents the southern
women on the committee, protests against
being called "downtrodden" and "over
worked." "f arm women in numliera are teginning
to realize the harmful effects of this old
fashioned publicity," declares Mrs. Brown.
"The farm women who have awakened
to their own possibilities say quite frankly
thAt they want to start a campaign of
optimism about country life. They don't
want to I pitied, nor patroniic!: just un
derstood and, if possible, a little ideal
iied! They would aooreciate it for a
change. By working in clubs in various
communities, the farm women have
learned the value of organized efforts in
improving country life conditions."
Mrs. Brown is the widow of Congress
man Wm. G. Brown, Jr., of West Virginia,
and is owner and manager of several farms
and a pure-bred dairy herd. She, too,
claims that her five and a half year old
daughter is a very especial accomplish
ment of her career She is president of
her county farm bureau.
"Madam Chatnnanl"
Mrs Charles C. Schuttler, of Farming
ton, Mo., chairman of the committee, rep
resentative of the farm woman of the
middle West, once taught college classes
in Latin and Creek, but claims she'd
really rather milk cows.
In commenting on women's activities
in the Farm Bureau, Mrs. Schuttler says,
"Women have been from the beginning an
integral part of the Farm Bureau. There
has never been any question as to how
they might get in. They were in. In
fart, the whole Farm Bureau is built up
on the theory that there are certain prob
lems to be solved which vitally affect the
farm family as a whole and need the co
operating interest and effort of both men
and women," Mrs. Schuttler has served
as a, meml er ol the hxtCutive Committee
of the Missouri farm Bureau Federation.

Women's Work Expanding.
More than a hundred farm women
representing 21 states, met for a special
conference at the third annual meeting
of the American Farm Bureau Federation
at Atlanta, Ga., in November. At the
first annual meeting there were seven.
A few more attended the second year.
A resolution was adopted at that time
asking that the American Farm Bureau
Federation create a woman's department
.M knuw-ledgv of the whole progress
of this countr leads me to ay that
there has been, in the last two years
especially, a very marked chanire in
the minds of the farmers generally.
1 here is a marked tendenc) toward
that national conservation which has
alas made the farmer the strong
bulwark of our whole work. I believe
today that most of the tarmers are j
more interested in that congervatism
and in that careful, thoughtful work-,
inp out of agricultural problems.
To Ihis end I believe we shall have
a highly organized and profitable
agriculture in this country through
the American Farm Bureau, which is
fostering and promoting powerful co-J
operative organizations and a system,
of elementary, secondary, and advanc
ed education suited to the environ
ment and needs of our rural people;
working in perfect accord with exten
sion forces in agriculture and home
economics, operation in every countryi
experiment stations and other institu-1
tions for afrricultural research thor
oughly manned and equipped. I
The farm already has caused these,
forces and Institutions to rtow in
power and efficiency which is bring-'
ing to those communities whep at

an increase in permanent prosperity.
Such relief to the rural communities'
of Randolph county will cause our
youthful population to be more con-1
tented and therefore, will remain iiy
the country finding a larger measure1 ;
of enjoyment and success in living
there. ;j
When we farmers stoD and realize
that thor am nirai. A r.OA OOA .
throughout the land, we can readily!
conceive the fact that we are abso1
lutely powerless to cope with the sit-1
uation as individuals in solving our
problems which are 1 Universally th
same everywhere 4t is not a one
man's job, nor can it be solved by,
thousands so long as we work as in-1 "
dividuals. It's our job to work cof-j

ever ' known with a membership of
over 1,500,000 in less than two and-one-half
years Of existence, are here
helping us to put this drive on now in
Randolph county. i
In every sense of fairness it is our!
duty to support an -ergaTiization whichl
has accomplished the beneficial legis
lation for American 'agriculture that
has been brought ahout through the
legislative department of the Ameri
can Farm Bureau Federation in Wash
ington. Read elsewhere m thjs issue
what this branch of the' A- Fi B. F.,'
has accomplished and then figure out,,
what those items have meant to you1
in dollars and cents during the past
twelve months. But this department
is only an accident of what we may
accomplish ' through organization.
When we consider the rapidly chang
ing condition of agriculture in Ameri
ca, its methods, a challenge is sent
out to the farmer that can only be
successfully met through the strong
est possible organization.
The changing conditions demand
that the farmer make some departure
from the present systems of market
ing farm products which has been in
operation for years and years." The
sanest minds are required to work out
the solution. There is no place for
selfishness or intolerence of the other
fellow's position but must be based on'
a sound system of business and
economic principles. j
1 There are the problems, too, of per
manent soji building, better seeds,
livestock, a counting method, rural
school development and social advan
tages to be solved. "The Farm Bureau
is the medium through which these
things can be brought about. 1
North Carolina is one of the forty
seven states tied up with the Feedral
Farm Bureau and Randolph county
leads the way. Do your part, support
it, for all of North Carolina is watch
ing Randolph county. Forward, Farm
