County Farm Bureau.


As preliminary step toward secur-
ing county agricultural agent it &C.
ours to us that the proper thing (, r
those interested to do is to organize a
farm bureau for the county. Such an
organization is necessary when an agent
is assigned to the county and as means
toward inducing the supervisors to take
favorable action at the October session
nothing else can be done which will
assure as effective work toward this
end. The bureau is an essential fea.
ture in this new line of agricultural
development and we suggest that the
committee named by the county farm.
ers' institute take the initiative in call
ing public meeting to promote the
same.
In this connection we quote from the
Farm Management Monthly:
Farmers sometimes ask the question
"Why should | become a member of
the farm bureau association? l can
get all the benefits of the farm bureau
without becoming a member"
Every farmer and every other person
interested in the success of the agricu,-
ture of a county should become mem
Der of the farm bureau association,
because
W The farm bureau association is
the organization in your county and
brings them to work together for the
advancement of the rural interests
(2) Agriculture is the only great in.
dustry In which there has been little,
if any, community of interests. The
time has now come when this COM
munity of interests must be established
If the farmers are to reap their just
returns from their business
(3) While the county agricultural
agent is expected to render assistance to
any farmer in the county who asks his
aid, those who are members of the farm
bureau association, by reason of their
familiarity with the work. are in posi-
tion to m AXE use Of the county agent
because they know how to use him
Half of the success in getting assistance
is to know when we need assistance and
where to get it,
(4 The small annual membership
fee is not burden upon anyone, yet
with large membership the funds 30
provided will do much to encourage the
county board of supervisors to assist
and in the general betterment of the
county each member will be amply
repaid.
(5) The county farm bureau needs
the moral support which comes from a
large and united membership. As
farmers begin to work together for their
own interests, opposition from other
interests are certain to develop. A
united front on the part of the farmers
Is needed to meet and overcome this
opposition.
(6) Membership in tie farm bureau
association should carry with it the
right to vote in the election of officers
of the association aud voice in saying
what the work of the association should
be in county.
(T Any permanent improvement in
the agriculture of q county comes
through the work of the people of the
county themselves.

ment Is not an economic movement
only; it is also social, educational, in
spirational. The returns to the indi.
vidusl are far more than financial.

of the candidates on their city ticket,

Colliers's Weekly predicts Republi-

an opinion that if the election were to
be held now that the Democrats could
not carry single northern state. Re-
ports from very reliable Democratic
sources are to the effect that that party
would also have trouble in carrying
several southern states.
