MINNESOTA PROUD
OF FARMERS CLUBS
State Has $50 of Them and
Hopes For a Thousand, All
Working For Prosperity


ST. PAUL. Mimi. Aug. 6,-Mors
than TOO farmers clubs have been or
gained In Minnesota during the past
year, according to A. ID. Wilson. d.
rector OF agricultural extension at the
university farm. There are $50 farm
ers' clubs In the state representing all
but two of the SO counties.
4 The move to establish clubs among
the farmers IL one OF the greatest
steps toward prosperity that the
state has ever taken In the opinion Of.
economists at the College Of Agricul-
ture. A good, active farmers club
does for a rural community what an
active commercial club does for
village or city, they declare. II tends
to secure the united influence OF q
community to develop and bring
about any desired improvement and
to oppose anything that is not for It's
best interests.
There seems to be only two solu.
tions," says Prof. Wilson, ito the
problem OF putting the farmer on an
equal basis with those with whom he
has business outside of the farm. One
Is to Increase the size OF the average
farm. The other is to unite the In
terests OF several farmers owning.
farms of ordinary size for the pur-
pose Of outside contact In both buying
and selling.
The latter plan Is decidedly prefer
able. because 1t does not involve the
landlord and tenant or landlord and
hired help system, and makes possible
the maintenance Of the family-sized
farm, which fs one OF our most i'm.
portant American institutions.
II believe In the farmers club be.
cause 1t develops people. II tends to
bring out the best there Is In a COM
munity and to get people ready TO act
concertedly for their own betterment.
II Is an ever-ready means Of taking
up and studying Independently any
matter OF Importance to the commu-
nifty. 1t makes the work of the un-
scrupulous promoter Improbable and
aids any movement that rs for the real
interests OF the community. A farm
ers' club is needed In every commu.
nifty"
Prof. Wilson points out that the ad-
vantages to be gained through farm
ers' club are three-fold. They are So
cial. educational and financial. Chief
among these are the financial advan-.
tages of cooperative buying and sell
ing of farm products and things to be
used on the farm. Cooperation In
marketing secures not only better
price for the average farmer, but tends
to make the products Of any one COM
munity uniform in quality
The cooperative idea Is carried to
the education features. Communities
threatened with fruit blights. potato
diseases, animal diseases and insect
rests can get together at the farmers
club and discuss ways and means Of
combating the evil.
Prof. Wilson aims to have 1000
farmers clubs in the state by the end
of this year.
