THE FARMERS CLUB
Practical Suggestions for
it's Organization

during The present year is especially
emphasizing the importance of com
munitv co operation and the fol-
lowing frnm the Minnesota Bulletin
Farmers Clubs is a good suggt stion
for such organization and will be
suita' lie for any community:
"A farmers club is an organiza-
tion of the people in any community
for the Improvement of themselves,
their homes and their community.
1t 81 ould include in its membership
the whole family: men, women and
children. Two or more families
may constitute a succ ssful farmers
club, but it is best, where possible,
to include all the people of the com
munity. A rural school district is.
a Guita BILE territory to be covered by
a farmers club. Meetings are held
in the homes of the members in
town halls, or schoolhouses. There
are many advantages in having the
meeting at the homes of the mem,
hers wherever it is practical to do
so The territory should be small
enough SO that all of it's members
can conveniently get together.
A coed, active farmers club will
do for rural community just what
a good, active commercial club will,
do for village or city, namely, it
will tend to secure the united in,
faence of the community to bring
ahout any desired improvement,
and further, it will unite the COM
munity to oppose anything that is
not for its best interests. We can
conceive of no way in which farm
ers' club can be detrimental to
communitv, while we believe that
there are at least three ways in
which it may be- helpful, Cd socially
~ educatlonally, and (3) financial
~.
