ST. FRANCOIS COUNTY
FARM BUREAU
BERT L. FRANCE
Farm Adviser

1t may well be asked as to what this
organization can accomplish. A strong
county organization can encourage
and insist upon favorable legislation
in State and National government
that the idividual cannot do.
A county organization can create
better social conditions in the coun-
try.
A county organization can adver-
tise and distribute the products of its
members to better advantage than
the individual can do.
These and many others are the re-
suits attained by county units when
they are active.
There will no doubt be men who will
not get direct material benefit that
can be measured in dollars and cents.
Others and many will get just such
assistance as this. But, however,
that may be, all will get the benefit
of a better community in which to
live. In every community there may
be men who are prospering and are
the best of managers and who per-
haps cannot gain any direct material
assistance that will make their farm
ing business pay better.
If they have the correct attitude
toward community welfare, they will
encourage the Farm Bureau move
ment for what it will do for their
neighbor. And no one can deny but
what there are many people who can
and are getting valuable assistance
from this organization.
AS one travels over the county and
sees still a great deal Of poor stock
still great deal of poor farming,
and worst of all the unsatisfactory
conditions of many of the public
roads, many of the schools, and many
of the homes, which all together are
unfavorable to the best community
welfare, then he becomes convinced
that some person or some organiza-
ton has big job to do. The func-
tion of the Farm Bureau then being
to improve these conditions and ev-
eryone being anxious that these con-
ditions shall be improved, then let
every business man both in town and
in the country ally themselves with
this organization and the more quick
ly and effectively bring into existence
in this county the strongest county
unit in the State,
