Farm Bureau
At Work
C. V. Tart
The Farm Bureau is growing in
North Carolina. There are still
some farmers who do not under
stand 'the organization and its
purposes. In order to explain the
Farm Bureau and why every farm
er should be a member of the or
ganization, some questions and
answers are given in the remain
der of this article.
What is the Farm Bureau? It'
is the organized voice of AMERI
CAN AGRICULTURE—the largest
and strongest farm organization in
the world. It is a volunteer or
ganization of 1,600,000 farm fam
ily members, over 57,000 of whom
are North Carolina farmers whose
purpose is to promote, foster, and
protect Agriculture as a group
rather than as individuals. It is
non-partisan, non-sectarian, and
public in character. It is financed
by membership dues.
Why Farm Bureau? Agricul
ture has many problems today, re
lating to legislation, marketing,
taxation, transportation, and fi
nancing, which are problems of
the industry as a whole, and re
quire action of the part of a
United Agriculture.
In order that agriculture may
receive its fair share of the Na
tion’s income, its rightful portion
of the consumer’s dollar, and in
order that Agriculture may be rep
resented fairly and adequately on
matters of legislation, taxation
and transportation, the farmer
must have his own nationwide
business organization which pre
sents a unitea approacn ior Ag
riculture rather than individual
farmers working alone.
How is Farm Bureau policy
formed? The policy of the organi
zation is developed by members
at Community and County level
meetings. Decisions reached in
local meetings make the policy of
the County Organization. County
policy makes up the State policy.
It is an organization in which each
individual can have a voice in
formulating policy.
What has the Farm Bureau
dene? The organization has sup
ported legislation to keep a 3%
sales tax off production items,

Book Week Being
Observed At School
The elementary and high school
libraries of Wakelon School are
observing Book Week. In observ
ance of Book Week attractive pos
ters have been put up.
The idea of Book Week origi
nated in 1918. Two men, Frank
lin K. Mathiews and Frederick
G. Melcher, came up with the idea
of the observance.
After a fiery speech by Mathiews
in 1913 at the American Book
sellers Association convention, the
American Library Association ap
proved a better reading program.
The scope of good books for chil
dren has widened greatly since
Mathiews and Melcher compiled
the first reading list for children.
The public is much more devoted
to the care of the quality of their
children’s books.
